The New York World ridicules the
Greeley movement in New York, and says
the Tribune is the only political Republi,
can paper in the whole State Of Netc York
that supports Greeley. That's rather a bad
showing for Greeley's own State.

THE campaign document now being
used in Berks county, Penn, is an obltu-

The Memphis Arayanchc thinks Nelson
and Etheridge would prove entirely salts

and calls upon Quarles and Fleming to

good one, but in this case-not for John.

The correspondents vary very much
about the reported con versations of lead
ing public men. The New York Tribune
reports Ex-Governor Seymour, of New
York, as strong for Greeley and quotes in
proof q letter to 5. S. Cox OF the same
letter the World says
5. S. Cox has received a private letter from
Governor Seymour discussing the possibility of
Mr.. Greeleys nomination at Baltimore, but in
no wise favoring such nomination.

The Greeley organ in this city publish
es part of Judge Jere. Blacks opinion of
its candidate, but suppresses the most ma

date and more unfit one for President
could not be found" He thinks Horace

withstanding all this, if endorsed at Bal

SOME of the anti-Grant journals seem to
enjoy the reported Indian outbreaks on
the Western frontier, with kind of hell
ish glee. In order that they might point
to the Presidents Indian policy as a fail
ure, they would be willing, nay, are even
anxious, to see the settler weltering in his
own blood, and to hear the wild war
whoop of the red man, and see him reek-
ing his vengeance upon unprotected wO-
men and children. To such straits as
these, are the enemies of Grant forced

THE Cincinnati Commercial frankly adj
mits that Greeley's nomination has made
no split in the Republican ranks, but has
put the Democracy iii bad fix. We
should think so. There is but one paper
in Ohio ever claiming to be Republican,
supporting Greeley, and that is the Com
DerciaL It will be for Grant before the
election. There is but one Republican po-
litical paper i'll New York for Greeley, and
that is his "TrOn6oRc." In Illinois there
are but two Republican papers for Greeley,
and one of these is weekly. No wonder
the Commercial grows sick.
