Greeley as President.


ed States will elect Horace Greeley to-
the Presidency seems too prepoSterouS
to he entertained for Il moment, what
ever party leaders may desire or affect
to believe. The fact is patent to tine
world that he is the selected candidate
of the Tammany Ring. the most corrupt
and unprinciplrd cabal that ever dis
graced the country, and that the lead
ing conSpiratorS in that ring are the
sponsors of his nomination. His can
didacy represents no principle whateN-
or. and so far as his public life is con
ccrncd he is fully identified with the
prominent principles and measures of
the Republican party. He says, in re
plying to the official notice of his nomi-
nation. that he is Republican still.
and that the party by which he is nom
mated are Democrats still This gross
and palpahle Inconsistency of Mr.. Gree
ley is characteristic of the man. Such
stuff may serve Il corrupt political ext
gcncv before the election, but how will
it work in practice. should he he chosen
President What ideas are to rule i'll
that case ! l. the bOaSted Republican,
ism of Greeley to prevail, on the concc-
died. Democracy of his new friends and
supporters or is there to he Il constant
conflict between the two. 50 that no
man will know for two days together
upon what principles the government
is To he conducted From such pcriloU>
uncertainties as these it should he the
PRAYER of every good citizen that the
country may he delivered.
1t is. however. perfectly clear that
Mr.. Greeley waS brought forward by Il
set of diS;tfccted men who would over
throw the order of things established
10y the war for the Mon. 1t was from
the South that he received his many
applications To hr the Democratic can
didatr. as he himself admits. These
applications were turned over to the
Tammany friends of Mr.. Greeley. to
see what could be made of them: and
they. seeing the perfect adaptahilrty of
the man for their designs upon the m;!-
ton. and the >hrcwdncs> of the cN-rch-
els for pitching upon such Il man for Il
southern candidate. at once cooked up
the plan for his nomination ut Cincin-
natl, and his endorsement at Baltimore.
1t i thus that Mr.. Greeley has been
placed before the people tnr their >utf
RACES. He occupies the di>Gracctul
position of Il seeker of votes hy false
pIt.tcmcrS : of Il candidate who has not
Il principle in common with the party
from which he claims support of an
office seeker willing To make himself Il
tool in the hands of d>orglniZcr- who
would overthrow the work of Il ten
Years national struggle. and restore the
rule of oppression and injustice. 1t j.
