1t is remarkable fact that not only the
| son of Abraham Lincoln, but also the two
sons Of Stephen A. Douglass, are Grant
men.
The New York World feels called upon to
say that there is a notable lack of enthusiasm
for Greeley in the ranks of the democracy.
OF the one hundred and nineteen editors,
reporters, compositor0 pressmen, clerks, ETC..
of the New York World, ninety.seven of
them are for Grant against Greeley for Presi-

Mr.. James ii. Ashley is the latest Greeley
advocate transported to Maine.
1t is evident from one fact that Greeley is

1t was only last year that Theodore Tilton
declared that "Mr. Greeley had spent life
time in advocating the fortunes of politi-
clans we'll known by him to be personally un-
chaste."
The Philadelphia Age says that Greeley
knows no East, West, North or South. After
the Maine election no East, West. North or
South will know Greeley.-[N. Y. CONNER

The story that Senator Schurzs price for
villifying Grant is 5000 per night does the
Senator injustice. His price is $3.50 per
night; 5000 is what he used to charge for
talking on the republican side. The extra
$50 now asked is for wear and tear of con-
science. i Missouri Democrat
Gen. Fitzpatrick was at the Liberal head
quarters in New York Tuesday night boast
ing that Vermont would show heavy fallir 2
off in the republican vote. Poor little Xii,
how soon your Boosting has proved an empty

Commercial Advertiser, ''clasping hands
across the bloody chasm" if you have not the
best reason in the world to think that the fell

your hand in order to drag you into it.
Shiploads of Canadians, "unaccompanied

that New York will give her electoral vote

"What does it mean,' asked the Hartford
Times, "when such men as DR.. Brandegee
come out from the Grant party and support
turns answer; st means, probably, that the
great and good Brandegee wanted post Of
flee under Grant, and didn't get it, That is
what ails the most of them in localities that
we know of.
Somebody has just defined Horace
Greeley to be 'the unstarched child of the
press and plow." If not 'unstarched" now,
he will be next November. Vermont has
commenced the process.
The New York Tribune had predicted that
the republican majority in Vermont would
not be much over 5000! At the liberal head
quarters in New York Tuesday the general

A letter from member of the Louisiana
