POLITICAL Notes.
II loyal Grant man at the Dayton
military asylum writes to Cincinnati
paper that the vote in their institution
will stand-Grant, $50, Greeley, 450.
= An old lady is collecting all the
political journals she can get to make
soap of. She says they contain 69l per
cent. pure lie."
- On the northern express train oyer
the Lowell railroad on Friday last,
vote was taken which resulted as follows
Grant, 81; Greeley, IL /; on the fence, 8.
- More Misrepresentation in the Tri-
une. That veracious sheet, in its list of
defaulters under the present administra-
ton metioned E. d. Ogden and Hugh M.
Merrick of theme York Custom House,
as removed on the discovery of their irreg-
ularity, but carefully omitted to state
that one was appointed under demo-
cratic administration thirty years ago,
and that the Irregularities charged were
condemned only under Grants presiden-
cy, after having run the gauntlet of half
dozen others.
! There vas grand Greeley ratif-
cation meeting" at Elmira, N. Y, the
other day, the call for which was signed
by fourteen hundred voters. Fifty-four
voters in single shop, whose names APP
peared in the call, have come out with a
card stating thai their names were used
without their knowledge. Further de-
velopments go to prove that these and a
host OF other names were simply copied
from different pay rolls aud attached to
the call without any authority. A very
cheap method of manufacturing Greeley
material
- The progress of the democratic
party towards Greeley is happily ex-
pressed in this calender, framed by a
contemporary.
January-The old idiot Greeley.
February-The eccentric Greeley.
March-Old Horace Greeley.
April-Horace Greeley.
May-Mr. HORACE Greeley.
June-Honest Uncle Horace.
- The New York Tribune of July 26
contained the remarkable statement that
every newspaper" in Wisconsin hither.
to Republican had gone over to Greeley
except the Manitowoc paper, This
would include those staunch sheets the
Milwaukee Sentinel and Wisconsin and
Madison State journal. As matter Of
fact not one Republican paper in the
State has gone over, as alleged. But
then, facts count for little with the Tri
bune nowadays.
- That was very discouraging Gree
ley mass meeting which was gotten W
among the Germans at Troy. Two mel
originated it, and one hundred and fifty
Germans gathered. On the chairman
putting the question, it was found, t.
his great surprise, that every man pres
ent, with the exception of the origina
: two, was for Grant. The plan of actor
5 was slightly modified and very enthu
siastic Grant and Wilson club was OF
pauiZed then and there.
7 - The New York Times devotes
:, singing editorial to consideration c
r the absurd charges of "absenteeism
from Washington made against the pres
ent administration, and shows that Georg
IS Washington, John Adams, Thomas Je
:, ferson and other Presidents travele
vastly more than Gen. Grant does, an
e that at times when they did not hav
r railroads and telegraphs at command.
