Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes Co., O. [Ohio]) 1870-1895, 1872-07-18

Cassus N. Clay says: 'We are
living under despotism." Reason :
General Grant ordered him back
from St. Petersburg, where he was
making an ass of himself and dis
gracing the country.
'The essential articles of the
Democratic creed are slove rum
hate niggers.' The less one learns
and knows, the more certain he is to
vote the regular ticket from A to
lizard" ."-HoRAcE GREELEY.
Maj. l.. ID. Woodwork is the Re-
publican candidate for Congress in
the Stark District and Col. r. C.
Parsons, in the Cuyahaga District.
So far these are all the republican
nominations that have been made.
After twenty hours hard work, and
12S ballots, the Democrats, of Lick
ing Muskingum, Coshocton, and
Tuscarswas, nominated NJ. South
ard of Muskingum as their candi-
date for Congress.
Horace Greeley, Wing and Re
publican, but never a Democrat until
about three weeks ago, the candidate
of the Democracy for the Presiden-
cy! The mantel of Horatio Sey-
more fallen upon the shoulders of
Greeley.
"Honest men to the 'front.' shouts
the New York Sun, and up step
Tweed, Hoffman and the rest OF
Tammany, followed by Ben Wood,
Morrissey, etc. That's honesty for
you, and the watch word is "Greeley
and Brown"
The Mt. Vernon Banner says:
We were at Mt. Gilead last week,
and could not hear of any break in
the Republican column. On the
other hand very many democrats re-
fuse positively to vote for Greely.
Lively times are expected.
1t is idle to talk about reform
when the reformers who want tc
come in are simply the old Demo
cratic stagers, who have been against
every reform of the past twelve
years, and the horde of all sorts
who are attracted around Mr.. Gree
ley by hopes of plunder.
A gentleman just from North Car
olina, who had excellent opportuni
ties of judging of the political sen
timent of the State, says that the
Republicans are sanguine of elect
ing their entire State ticket by q
large majority, and will roll up such
a vote in November as TO terrify the
supporters of Greeley and Brown.
1t said that Horace Greeley in
Conversation with friend recently
remarked ''that he was much sur
prised to think the detection in the
Republican ranks was no greater
than it appears to be at the present
time" Like the man who fell of
the top of the stage coach,if Horace
had only known the stage hadn't
tipt over he'd never got Off.
If we had announced six months
ago that Horace Greeley would be
the Democratic candidate for the
Presidency this fall, the Democracy
would have set us down as a lunatic.
The very idea of Greeley being their
candidate was horrible. But strange
as it may appear, this same Greeley
is the candidate of the Democracy
to-day.
Absurd as the nomination OF
Greeley was, the greatest absurdity
of all was the singing of "Rally
round the flag boys" by the con-
vention. Most of the members did
not know the air and struck OF on
the Bonnie Blue Flag" The med
ley was singular combination of
the patriotic rallying song of our
Union boys and that of the rebels,
"But anything to.beat Grant.
The Democracy must possess a
stomach equal to that of any Ostrich
that ever hid its head in the sands
of the Sahara. 1t swallowed the
rebellion and Andy johnson with
out making a grimace. Even Sum
ner did not produce nausea. And
now they have gulped. down Greeley.
Never since Jonah entered into the
belley of the whale has such a feat
of deglutition been witnessed.
A correspondent of the Newark
American asks:
"What will the Democratic party
do with their old household and
kitchen furniture when they break
up housekeeping? The wagons
with young ladies in them bearing
the mottos'White husbands or none,'
Fathers, save us from negro hus
bands DC. will all be for sale-wag-
ons, girls, mottos, and all at very
low prices.
The loyal people of the country
would like some of Mr.. Greeley's
organs to aswer the following gus
tions:
l. If the Sorehead- Republican
Democratic Secession party succeed
will they pay the Confederate debt?
2. Will they pension the Confed
crate soldiersl
3. Will they protect the colored
people of the South from the mid
night attacks of Ku- -Klux assassins?
4. Will they compensate their
frianlo In tho South for in1i,;IuoI
