THE DEMOCRATIC COUNTY
CONVENTION.

Every other title has to be left out at
this time, for there was not the shadow
of Liberalism or Republicanism to be
perceived at that meeting, and every
thing went on there in the old Demo
cratic style of bribery and corruption.
At the nomination for State Senator.
Judge Reed had a good majority IN the
several ballots until billet doux'
handed to tie leader of town delegation
turned the scale and the Judge was de-
feated. Before the balioting for Regis
ter, several candidates told the conyen-
ton that they had been promised the
nomination by the present six yearly in-
cumbent and asked for it again said In
cumbent acknowledged the soft impeach'
ment, but claimed that his dear
friends were In favor of his re -nomlna-
ton once more and that he would take /;
again-so be sCdS re nominated. Thus
we might so on with the whole list, II
the subject was not too nauseous fol
plation. Every we'll meaning,
unbought Democtat is disguised with the
whole transaction and it will be the OWL
fault OF the Republicans if they do not
defeat the entire Democratic ticket at the
ensuing election in Manitowoc County

GREELEY ON GRANT.

1fyou hear any one abusing Presi-
dent Grant for fayoring the annexation
OF Santo Domingo or for executing the
Ku-Klux law, read the following to him
We are compelled to say that the treat
mcnt of the President and his admins
tration by the selfe- styled independent
Republican press, has for months been
ungenerous and unjust. We have had
greater presidents than General Grant,
but scarcely one who less deserved the
running fire of invidious carping and
fault-fnding TO which he has been sub
iected by those "independent" oracles
We will instance the Santo Domingo and
Ku- Klux topics to illustrate our meaning.
Santo Domingo, through its only rulers.
annexation. The President gave no en-
couragement till after an interval of
months the proffer was renewed and ac-
tion upon it urgently solicited. Then the
President looked carefully into the mat
ter. and decided that our country's we'll
being would be promoted by our accep-
tance of Baez's proposition. Perhaps
this was an error of Judgment, though
decided differently we believe the Presi-
dent would have been more vehemeptly
assailed than he has been. just consid-
er what Democratic howl would have
gone up, after we had offered so many
millions for Cuba, General Grant had
refused to accept San Domingo virtually
for nothing"
Then as to the Ku-K legislation,
and all executive action tending thereto
or based thereon, we hold the admins
tration most unfairly treated by most
of the independents. The President
is bound by solemn oat to support the
constitution, enforse the laws, and pro-
tect the rights and liberties of the peo-
pie Horace Greeley, Hay 5, 1871.

MADISON, Sept. oath 1872.
Hon. EHhu Coleman, Chairman Of the
Committee of the Fifth Congressional
District, FOND du Lac,
DEAR SIR On my return from St.
Paul [ found yours of the 10th inst,
notifying me of my nomination for Mem
Der of Congress in your Congressional
district. While l cannot but feel hon
ored by the preference the Convention
has manifested in selecting me as its can
didate to SO high ard responsible posi-
ton, still [ had hoped and expected from
what had passed between me and my
Republican friends in your District prior
to the Convention, that different result
would haye been reached.
I was and still am of the opinion that
there are others in the District better
qualified for the position, and moro popu-
lar than myself, and that you would
come to the same conclusion. In this |
am disappointed and End myself in the
disagreeable position Of setting up my
own judgement against the judgement OF
the Convention, and of ignoring the
many favors [ have received at the hands
of the Republican party, or of accepting
your nomination. [ cannot hesitate
my great confidence in the Republican
party my gratitude to the many friends
in that party who have done so much
more for me in the past than deserved,
lead me to sacrifice my own feelings and
wishes upon the subject and consent, as
[ now do, to become your candidate. l
shall go into the canvass with the deter
mination of achieving whatever success
may honorably do, in the hope that, il
not elected myself, I may at least be in
strumental in contributing to the trlum-
nhant re- election Of one Of the best
Presidents we have ever had.
have seen the resolutions adopted by
your Convention and heartily endorse
them. With much regard
Your obedient servant

The Germans Uniting on General
Grant.

An Associated Press dispatch from
New York, of Sept. l6 says:
The address issued by the German
American Grant and Wilson Club, TO-
day, will probably lead to the consoli-
dation of all the German Grant Clubs
in the city. Responses were made this
afternoon by many Germans, both Re
publicans and Democrats, and the pros
pect is that serious detection of the
Germans from the Greeley ranks will
follow. General Sigel and other prom
inent Germans are associated in the
movement. Tie address says: 'The
former narrow barriers of the two great
political parties are destroyed. Tho fu-
ture policy of our Government must
then adapt itself to this new, order OF
things The executive and Congress
must abolish old abuses, respect thu just
and well-timed demands of all the peo-
pie without difference of party, and try
to realize them. They must maintain
by wise measures the existing laws,
peace and order, restore real harmony
between the North and South, reform
our civil-service system and promote by
all possible means the material welfare
of the people. Under this General pro-
gramme we have associated ourselves
Republicans and Democrats, and believe
we will find in the election of Grant and
Wilson a better guaranty for the realiza-
ton of our views than in the success OF
