AT THE UNION LEAGUE CLUB.

About seven O'Clock last evening Mr.. Horace
Greeley came into the reading room OF the Union
League Club. hut the advent OF the presnmptive
President OF the United states did not create
that enthusiasm which might have been
expected when the nominee OF the
Cincinnati Convention honored that stronghold OF
promiscuous republicanism with his presence. lie
sat down and was abou, to pcruse the columns OF
paper when several Of his personal friends came
forward and congratulated him on receiving the
nomination; but the majority OF those present,
being intensely great men, were rather formal. and
those among them who were personally. though
not politically favorable 10 the philosopher
OF Chapaqua. merely exchanged a cold nod ~ re-
cogniiiou. A little knot gathered In a corner and
discussed the probabilities In an undertone. but
after short sojourn, Mr.. Greeley rose to depart,
and was accompanied 10 the door by few OF his
admirers. The HERALD reporter, finding gentle
man Of observation and penetration, learned nom
him that the club received the news OF Mr. crecey's
nomination with apathy, and were Of opinion that
the Cincinnati Convention had thrown away It's
ammunition IN the wrong direction. Mr.. Greeley
had undoubtedly many warm personal ffiends IN
the club, but out OF the fourteen hundred members
he could not number more Than hundred
supporters His nomination caused no apprchcn-
sion whatever as the more shrewd members saw
In IL the element OF defeat % the liberals. What
they dreaded most was the nomination OF Mr..
Adams who had a great number Of friends in the
club ana his views on the selection were wen
known they feared that II he had been CHOSEN as
the candidate OF the disanectcd republicans he
would have harmonized conflicting elements
and marshalcd powerful host hut
Mr.. Greeley, nom his protectionist and other pc.
culiar political views could not fail to n inimcal 10
the majority OF the iree-tradinR democrats. such
being the case, democratic convention was neNi-
table, and many opinions TO that effect prevailed.
Towards the latter part OF the evening the reading
room and hallway to the billiard room commenced
/ 10 I'LL up, ana from the tone III conversation
I n might n.
ton had been playing an amusing practical Joke
an ambitious journalist. Every one assured
that Democratic Convention would soon he called.
and this the cnlse OF the peaceful air of security
/ which pervaded the social scene. The verdict was
evident that the Cincinnati Convention was n fail.
nre and IA yet the loyal republicans had not found
| ioeman worthy OF their steel.

Irishmen yesterday that they would vote for Mr..
Greeley anyhow. Then, again, there was a good
deal Of plain speaking among some of the more
prominent lrishmen In regard to Horace and the
democracy This was point, however, about
which many conflicting opinions were uttered
some people saying that the democracy were

had the German heart Of the city at the command
Of his benevolent countenance.
Underlying all the humorous jokes at the great
politicians outer man, there was in every class Of
society an extraordinary exhibition OF good nature

seriousness and jOcOsity did the name of
the liberal candidate for the Presidency and his
Cincinnati nomination. But few weeks ago it did
not seem TO he anything like probability that the
city would get such a handsome sensation in con-

come more serious still.

Heretofore we have waived all dis
cusaion upon this topic, but since our
friends Fulton, Jones & Co. have seen
fit to carry the war into Africa-to
invade our territory with their With
cisms, their SANDERS, their hypocrisy
aud their sophistry, we have taken this
occasion to give them round turn at
their own game.
Now we earnestly recommend hear
ty endorsement of the whole Republican
ticket in both St. Croix and Pierce
counties. These "eo-betweeners" are a
walking pestilence. The so-called
True Republican has been lukewarm,
to say the least, in its support of the
national ticket, and it has not raised the
name of our candidate for Congress at
all. The truth is that Mark Fulton,
Dave Fulton and 0. f. Jones are, po-
litically, one and the same. They suck
each others thumbs for want of better
pap, and VIC wonder not that they are
dry witt rage and thirsty with despair.
They thirst for power for their own
personal ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, but woe to
the people" if this ungodly triune
should ever ascend the throne.
Once more, and lastly, we invoke the
candid. earnest consideration of all the
facts and of all the principles involved in
the coming elections Weask Republicans
everywhere to be alive. Wake up to
sense Of duty as men, as citizens, as par
tizans. You cannot afford to look on as
idle spectators, nor can you afford to
put the reins in the hands Of your enc
mics. or even of lukewarm friends
Drop personal differences and private
piques, if any you have, and march for
ward in one grand army, keeping time

eye upon that blood stained banner

OF the convention Of the 21st, we
have heard some complaint, and this is
the case with all conventions. That
there are some grounds Of complaint
there is no doubt, since it is not to be
supposed for moment that there was
ever held in Pierce, or any other coun-
ty in the state, a convention in which
more or less wrong is not perpetrated.
But this is unavoidable in the nature Of
things.
The most serious charge, however,
against that convention, is the fact that
it rejected the regular delegates from
Trenton, and this we deem well founded
from the fact that some, at least, who
voted for their rejection, now say it was
clearly wrong. We trust that similar
mistake will never be repeated.
If we rightly understand the matter,
the rejection of those delegates in no
way affected the result of the conven-
tion except in the nomination of a can
didate for sheriff, which, had they been
might have been different.
