the Grecleyitcs in this county is pitiablc
For ten days past two or three member
of the Democratic ring, aided by sore
headed Assistant Democrat OF this city
for getting well rid of whom the Rcpub
lican party will never cease to be thank
ful-have been securing the city ant
county for names to call for Creole!
Climb. TWAS anticipated that it woult
have been published in the Conseroatiu
this week, but, finding, after most Wig
orous canvass Of the city, and racing VI

sent of their owners, that the list did no
equal that procured by the Republican,

Greeley colportcurs are laboring in thu
remote townships. As this is the frs
work which they have done which prom
ises results, we congratulate them, though
