ruption" which his party has entered i
and got up meeting at Salem, Fauq
county, Va, to publish his reasons for
ferring Grant to the old man of the wi
hat. We give below some extracts fl
the witty guerrilla's speech-
"Those with whom I have heretoi
been politically associated We're seized "

chief old Horace Greeley, whose fr
(the New York Tribune) has for thet
thirty years been a perfect Vesus,
bleaching fire and birthstone onhe
heads of the Southern people. Thisan
is now selected as the avenger of Sourn
wrongs. We often hear it said th;he

Clifford to little Paul, when she sehin
