"Of all the prominent men in the coun-
try" says shrewd old Jere Black, 'Hor-
ace is the only one who lacks every single
qualification for the Presidency.
Lieutenant Governor Gleason, of Flor
ida, who has been accused Of leaning to-
wards Greeleyism repudiates the alliance
in letter to the Jacksonville Union.
It is asserted that since the close of
the rebellion not less than %, 900 persons
black and white bave been scourged, ban
ished or murdered by the ku-Klux
klans of the South.
The World says that while it will con-
tribute no slime to assist the anaconda
in swallowing the stag, it will do what it
can, after the morsel is down to prevent
the reptile from dying of indigestion.
Greeley is thestag. The democratic par
ty is the anaconda.
Brick Pomeroy is a model democrat
He defines his political position briefly
in this way: Every Democrat voter to
sell his vote to the highest bidder, and
to take his pay, cash an hand.'
The Providence Journal says that
''since the world begun, there has not
been such an organised, persistent, uu-
ceasing exhibition of brag, as we have in
the Greeley camnaign. Counties are
claimed as unanimous and states are GER
tain and prominent men who have no
more idea of voting for Greeley than for
Louis Napoleon, are quoted as so eager
in his support that they with difficulty
restrain themselves till November"

The Fond du Lac Commonwealth says:
1t will be still stronger recommends
tion OF Horace Greeley to the foreign
born voter to know that he was very
firm believer In the doctrines Of the
American" party. There is now on
record, III the files Of the New York
Express a speech OF Mr.. Greeley S
wherein he says that no foreign born
citizen should be entitled to a vote un-
ii he had resided in the country at least
as long as an American born citizen
twenty-one years. How will the German
and Irish friends of Mr. Greeley like that ?
If he had his way large share of them
would not vote for him nor any one else. !"
The speech of Senator Bayard in the
Baltimore convention the demonstrations
of approval with which it was received, :,
the determined course Of the Deleware
delegation, the meeting of Democrats
in another part of the city and the call
for a convention at Louisville are facts

understood. They indicate unmistaka
bly, that beneath the surface flow of
Fictitious cnthuasm as for the Cincinna
ii platform and ticket there is a deep
uudercurrent of dissatisfaction in The
democratic party which may yet find
new way of expressing itself in Novem
Der. They fully justify the often retera
ted assertion of the Times and Of numer-
Gus letters from the people which have

will not under any circumstances vote for

a letter from Richmond Virginia says:
ALREADY more than fifty prominent
members of the democratic party have
declared their willingness to canvass for
Grant and Wilson while not a single
Republican OF any prominence, influence
or respectability has gone over to Gree
ley, except Franklin Stearns of this city
and Louis Mckenzie of Alexandria.
IN. Greeley is beyond question a more
dangerous man personally than General

rebels evidently don't think so. They

secession: but are afraid of General Grant
