IT is predicted that Senators Thur
man. Casscrlcy and Nickers will not
support Greeley, even if he is nomina-
ted by the Baltimore Convention.
THE Greeley organs. most of which
are Democratic, make a great to-bo
about Gen. GRANTS having, been
..forced" on the Republican Party.
Yet they fail to show by a single Re-
publican who now supports him, who
| shed tears over his nomination, or
any Conventlon:in which nc has been
deserted as "a bitter pill" Or as ''an
| emstic.r or as "6oiled crow" which
could be swallowed, but which no hu-
man being ''hankered artcr.'
Facts are worth more than promi-
ses. The Republican Party hastaken
off one hundred and forty millions of
taxes in three years, while reducing
| the national debt more than three
hundred millions. This has been done
by the honest collection and honest
| disbursement of the national revenue.
Are the mere promises Of the DeEec-
racy worth more than these solid
facts?
FACTS continue to come from the
| South which serve to show where Mr..
Greeley finds a foundation for his
hope that he is to carry the Southern
States. In addition to the outrages
at Milton and Yanccyvillc, n. c., we
have news that the Kuklux are active
" at work for the Tammany eandi-
date in Lowndcn county, Alabama.
At this place they visited a prominent
Democrat who had announced that he
could: not support Greeley, and
warned him that he must do it or
leave the county. The Tribune will
doubtless see in this affair another ev-
idcncc of that spirit of lawlessness
which inevitably grows up i'll a conn-
try under military rule" but scnsi-
bic people viii believe that under mil
itary rule such thi n2s would he i'm
possible. They are possible only be-
cause Southern lawlessness expects
from Mr.. Grecley's election such a
season of umbridled license as il has
not enjoyed since Grant crushed the
rebellion.
''MUCK minded ~slovenly cross be-
tween Il yam and a cylinder press" is
the classic cpitaph which Long John
Wentworth once applied to Greeley.
Long john has sulce SO modified this
conception of Horace, as 10 be able to
support him for The Presidency.
Through what process II. q. has been
transmitted in the eyes of Wentworth.
from a .'slovenly cross between a yam
and a cylinder press" into a suitable
candidate for the highest office in the
gift of the nation, is not stated. Will
the elongated John please rise and ex-
plain?
The National Republican Commit
tee is ADVISED from all parts of the
South that the endorsement of Gree
ley at Baltimore will divide the
Southern Democracy wen more than
the Northern, and that many of the
best men of the South will vote for
Grant. We believe this will prove
true to a much larger extent than is
now thought.
The Chicago journal pcrtincntly
says:
The Chicago Tribune still harps OH
President Grant as ''~gift-taker," and
accuses him of appointing to Office
the givcrs of the gifts.
Will the Tribune cite a solitary in
stance where General Grant has re-
ccived a present since his election TO
the Presidency. and will it name snc
Ease where the giver of the gift totlle
President now holds an office by. his
appointment We challenge the
Greeley organ to produce proof to
sustain its indecent charges. or else
stop the repetitian of its %ialsehoods.
And this challcnsp a be extended
to all the Democratic and Greeley pa
pcrs< which,. constantly ring this
shameless charge without being able
to a,hluee anything i'll proof of their
accusation.
SENATOR SCHURz's trcachcry to-
word ne revenue reformers is not
-likcly.to increase the admiration with
which his friends formerly regarded
llihl.- The New York Stats Zeitun@,
the Nolks.reund, and the Illinois
Stats Zeitung all speak of him i'll
terms which arc more forcib!e than
complimentary. The great Seua-
tors reputation has been completely
sacrificed through his desire Il gca!i-
