Greeley's friends are very hopeful, Davis's by
no means give it up, while the supporters oil
Adams generally feel that they have dead sure

The Springfield Republican Gays Mr.. Greeley
has brosdened and ripened and grown less
crotchety, Of late years. We have been trying
to make out what this opinion could be based
on; but we can think of nothing except the fact
that whereas Mr.. Greeley used 10 be charging
the Republican with helping the democrats, Of
late, since both papers have been in the demo
cratic aid business, the Tribune has smiled
sweetly on the Republican. Everything else
indicates that Mr. Greeley, ss he has grown old,
has grown sour, selfish and errAtic. Mr.. Bowles,
the absent editor of the Republican, has given
far more correct estimate of Mr. Greeey's char
acter in his letter to the Cincinnati Commercial,
when he says, " With his ususl perversity of
temper and openness to fattery, MIR. Greeley
will probably contrive to give his faith and at
tribute his success to those who fawn upon him
and who use him, and SANDER and abuse those
Drawer and truer friends who dare to expose them
to him and the world, and tell him the truth,
that he needs to hesr. even il he does not like
