POLITICAL.

a subscriber to the Little Rock Re
publican in Madison county, Arkansas,
who says he has passed his three score
and ten years, writes that Greeley stock
is rising rapidly IN bis county, and that
he has never witnessed so thorough a
revolution in the minds of the people,
the campaign Of 1910 approaching more
nearly TO this movement than any other
he recOllects.
Colonel Thomas n. Stilwell (Republi-
CAM addressed large Greeley ratifica-
tiOn meeting at Anderson, Indiana, on
the fifteenth. 1t is reported that many
Republicans of Madison county are only
waiting to be sure that Baltimore will
not oppose Greeley, when they will
openly identify themselves with the
Liberals and help the Democrats to
carry the county for him by fifteen hun
dred majority.
The Omaha Herald of the fifteenth
instant publishes the names Of one
hundred and four of the most sterling
citizens and influential Republicans of
Douglass county who publish s. card
asking that their names be added TO the
call for Liberal Republican State Con-
vention. The Herald says that among
the names are those of the men who
founded the Republican party while yet
Nebraska was Territory.
There are six German papers pub
lished in Michigan, and but one Of them
opposes Greeley and BrOwn-that is the
GHchigdR Journal Of Detroit, Two of
the ablest and most influential German
papers in the Northwest, the Post and
I'olEsJldtt, are out for Greeley. The ed
itOr of the former was an able delegate
at Cincinnati. The T'oiks65dtt, paper
which influences more votes than the
Detroit Free Press, comes out sqHarely
for Cincinnati.
The baltimore Gazette, which was
strongly anti-Greeley a few weeks ago,
at last suecumbs 10 the logic of events;
acknowledges " that the drift of popu-
lar sentiment favors a combination of
al the elements of opposition to put
down Grantism," and enumerates rea-
sons as plenty as blackberries for sup
porting any combination OF opposing
forces that will offer a reasonable pros
pect Of beating Grant"
Ex-senator Charles E. Stuart, Of
Michigan, has written a letter urging
the Democrats TO indorse at Baltimore
the Cincinnati platform and ticket. He
regards the country as being in greater
peril now at the hands of those in power
than il would be in case of invasion, and
he believes it TO be the duty of Demo
Gratis 10 unite with the Liberals TO res
cue it from the hands Of those who con-
stantly violate its Constitution with
impunity, and plunder its treasury at

At the conclusion of Hon. B. II. Hills
speech at Atlanta, Georgia, last Wednes-
day, General Robert TOOmbs was called
for and declined TO speak, but said
"NOu have heard one of the most elO-
quent, one Of the grandest addresses that
you will ever hear in favor Of Mr.. Gree
ley. 1t was clear, eloquent and impress
sive. / am against Greeley, but at the
same time you have got the best of the
ease on his side, and / call for three
cheers for Mr.. HILL" OF Toombs' own
speech denmciatory Of Greeley Demo
Gratis made the following night, the At
lanta Constitution is constrained to say:
at was bitter enough TO inflame the
passions of set Of Quakers. Surely we
have come 10 a bad pass when political
discussions are thus 20 be conducted by
our most distinguished leaders. 1t can
in no possible way do good, and only in
tensify the heat of political strife, and
reduce political discussion to abusive
personal harangues."
