The semi-weekly Republican. (St. Francisville, La.) 1872-1872, 1872-06-25
Campaign q notes from the
Press.

IlcheC PfoJect, ana says 1t is too
late now, however, to recede. The
issue is made, and it is Greeley or
nothing. We must concentrate the
entire Democratic vote upon him,
and elect him. We can do it, and
achieve Democratic victory"
There is campaign badge for the
denomination enthusiasts, gener-
ously offered by The Cincinnati Com
n,ercidl I" It seems that Gel tain en-
terprising Grantologists have hit
upon something which will do as an
offset to the Greeley white hat. As
Grant was q tanner and Wilson a
shoemaker, and as both of them
were thus workers in the leather, it
is suggested that the badge of the
Grant-W party during the cam
paign shall consist of a leather medal.
It is happy idea, very"
Speaking of Mir. Greeley's popu-
larity among the Irish, The H'ih
People says From the express
sions of opinion that appear in the
columns of the newspapers which
reach us from every part of the
Union-from the four points of the
compass-it would appear that, in
view of the coming Presidential cam
paign, the almost universal voice oi
Irish citizenship is in favor of Horace
Greeley. He may now be said to be
emphatically the favorite candidate
of most Irish citizens"
The Baltimore Convention is to be
held in Ford's Opera House, of which
The Baltimore Gazette speaks as fol
lows The building is one of the
finest of the kind in the country
and when all the contemplated ar.
rangements for the convenience O
the delegates are completed it vii
be found to be in every respect suit
able for the grand conclave of the
National Democracy. It is believed
that ample accommodation wiki be
furnished for at least C,O00 people
and, beside this, every facility will b.
afforded in the way of committet
and reception rooms. 1t is intended
to decorate the building in an ap
propriate manner, and we are assur
ed that nothing will be left undon'
to make the building attractive a.
we'll as comfortable.
A correspondent, whom The Spring
field Republican declares "just a
competent to render a calm ant
philosophic judgment as Mr.. Garri
son, or DIR. Bartol, or Mr.. White
even," writes to that journal in thi
way concerning Mr.. Summers speech
"The more I think of it, the NOR
it seems a very wonderful speech
and one that must have a great in
; fuence, not perhaps Immediately o,
the election, but on the character o
all future Presidents. I dc not be
lieve Grant has sinned with malic,
} aforethought, but through stupidit,
and an egotism that is utterly blind
ing and dwarfng. I wish somebod,
else could have made the speech
though, instead of Sumner, who will
always be accused of indulging hi
personal gall and spleen in it. II
me it seems remarkably free from
passion and personality.
Another Republican journal repu
dates Grant and endorses Greele,
and Brown. The Walton Chronicle
an enterprising weekly published a
Walton, Delaware County, New-Yorl
, makes this frank avowal of it's con
victions "The action of the Phil
adelphia Convention has decided tn
preliminary issue of the campaign
SO far as Republicans are concerned
and we are called upon to choos'
between Grant and Greeley. Gu
choice is Horace Greeley. And to
} day we hoist his name and that o
his associate. This has not beel
done in haste, or without a firm con
