Where the Democratic Support Comes
from

|
| We invite particular attention of all our
readers to the following paragraphs, quoted
word for word from the Tribune. We pre-
! sumo the statements contained in them will
not be doubted, seeing that they come from
Mr.. Gree.ey's own organ:
As soon as the news that Greeley and
Brown had been nominated was received,
bunting was unfurled from every flagstaff on
the City Hall. In the City Hall Park was
displayed large banner bearing the inscrip-
tlon: "Idmmdny responds to the nomination
| or We National COnrentiOn at Baltimore" :"
Directly in front of this banner was a four
FOUNDER, from which one hundred salutes in
honor OF the nomination were fred in quick
succession. Soon after this small gun began
to make itself heard, two-ten-pounders were
put in position little to the left of II.
each OF winch added fifty reverberating
roars, &C., &c.
Upon the receipt of a dispatch from Bal,i-
more announcing the nomination of the Gin
cnnati candidates, a large flag acas raised
Ooer Iamnany Hall.
The Democrats of the Fourteenth Ward
met at their headquarters, No. 4 SPRING
street, immediately after the receipt of news
OF MIR. Greeley's nomination yesterday, and
organized Fourteenth Ward Democratic
Greeiey and Brown Club. The proceedings
were hearty and spirited James J. Selyin
was chosen President, Thomas Mcguire and
James Smith, Viee-Presidents, Frederick ].
Pyrne, Treasurer, and Thomas w. Maxwell,
Secretary. r-
The Boulevard Club, of which Sheriff
Matthew L. Brennan is President, fired one
hundred guns in honor of the nominations.
Sheriff Brennan is the Tammany leader
whose gross frauds we have recently exposed,
and who was defended Oh Tuesday last in the
Tribune. "Scratch me and I'll scratch you,"
is the motto of H. G. His organ goes on to
tell us
Commissioner Manierre, during the ses-
sion of the Health Board, received dispatch
announcing the nomination of Mr.. Greeley.
Commissioner Barr, amid laughter by his col
leagues, moved that the matter be referred to
the Sanitary Committee, on the ground that
support OF Greeley was an epidemic that was
rapidly spreading. President Bosworth ruled
the resolution out of order.'
Ben. Manierre Il is one of the worst of the
old Tammany gang, and is more responsible
for the generalization of the New York Po-
lice force than any one man. We continue
our quotations:
An lmpromptu ratification meeting of the
Tenth Ward NJ. T. Brennan, Association was
held last night at the hall No. 101 Hester
street Several addresses were delivered"
Long Branch, July 1O.-A magnificent
display of fire works took place tonight, in
front of the Ocean House, under the auspices
ofFrank Leslie, in honor of the nomination of
Greeley and Brown at Baltimore" .aa
Frank Leslie is the owner and publisher of
an infamous and obscene publication called
Days Doiags, from which source he makes
money to spend in fireworks for Greeley.
Few men alive have done more to debauch
the morals of the young than Frank Leslie,
by means of his indecent publications.
The above is evidence taken, be it remem-
bered. from Greeley's own organ. How do
the true Democrats and honest Reformers
like the leaders in the Greeley campaign
