The nomination OF Horace Greeley, bv
the Liberal Republicans, unexpected as
ii was. at the time, to the people. and
even to tho convention itself, has been
ratified by the National Democratic Con-
vention. and subsequent events show
conclusively that it was the result OF

ers such as the Blairs, FentonS and others.
and the Tammsny ring OF New York,
with the rebel element OF the South.

Liberals, (so-ealled) and the Democracy
were to be wrought upon till they ratified
the contract At first, ths nomination
dragged-but principle finally yielded to
the potent argument OF Plander. and the

whether Grant would carry three States
