The Great Liberal papers of the
North, the New York Tribune, the
Chicago Tribune, and the Cincinnati
Commercial, bid us to still have hope
of the election of HORACE GREELEY.
In the October elections, the race
was between Radical and Democratic
candidates, and the latter could not
expect the Liberals to cast solid
vote for them. 1t is only when Lib

for the Presidency, whose election is
so needful to the prosperity and hap.
piness of the United States, as is the
election of HORACE GREELEY, the pa
triot statesman and phiioso oher.
The prevailing corruption in Office
calls aloud for his purifying example.
The selfish military rule Of the pres
ent administration needs the noble
maguamiuity Of Mr.. GREELEY, and
the spirit of brotherly kindness
which he would impart to every Sec
ton of the estranged Union. The
glory of our past, and the greatness
of our future demand the election of
HORACE GREELEY, the wisest, kindest
aud largest Drained man in America.

IT has been claimed that Horace
Greeley has bargained with and sold
himself to the Democracy, for their
support; and the fact that the World,
which at first roughly opposed, then
claimed that if the Democracy furn-
ished nine-tenths of the votes he
should pledge the cabinet to them,
and now goes for the Baltimore nom
inee tohoeUer he may be, would in
cate its truth. Noticing this, the
Cincinnati Commercial, one of the
original Liberal press, says:
"Convict Horace Greeley of bar
gaining with Democrats, as to the
distribution of offices, and his candi-
dacy is practically at end, for his un-
fitness to be President would be
proven, and the people would GER
tainly prefer Grant"
To this the New York Times re-
plies:
"The question here is as to the
amount and kind of evidence which
is necessary to procure conviction.
If the fact that nearly all the Demo
Gratis in New York City who support
Greeley are or have been notoriously
connected with the Tammany Ring,
is to be accepted as the evidence of
the bargaining, then there is sufTi-
cient to convict The issue is not
misunderstood in New York, what
ever it may be in Cincinnati. Here
we see the Greeley men, and we all
know how they stand in the commu-
nifty. There is not a corporaps
guard of respectable men among
them. As to the Democratic mer-
chants and bankers-they are all
against Greeley. On the other hand,
the Tammany wire-pullers and
roughs, the scalawags in search of
place, the racals who have recently
been turned out of Office, are all in
his favor"
If ever there was a corrupt move
ment to place a man in the Presi-
dental chair, the movement to Sc
cure the Baltimore nomination for
Greeley is one. The thieves who
Sasted the substance of New York,
who fattened upon the corruption

ses warming into their stride, passed
the grand stand, the excitement rose
to a high pitch. The first mile and
a half found the positions unchang
ed, but the hackers of Bassett evil
IDENTIFY had misgivings, as their fav-
orite was doing his best, while it
seemed that Longfellow was still be-
ing held in by his rider. Their
fears were confirmed when the hors-
es swept past the grand stand the
second time. Longfellow's rider
gave head to the horse, who gallantly
responded and quickly placed two
lengths between him and Bassett.
The scene was indescrlbable. Men
threw their hats in the air and cheer
ed wildly, while ladies waved hand
kerchiefs and bet countless pairs OF
gloves on John Harper's steed.
From this moment it was evident
that all was up with Bassett, and al
though his rides used whip and spur
without stint, it was of no avail.
Every movement of Longfellew in
creased his lead, and he came in al
easy winner in 4:34 or some of the
judg claim in ABB. Bassett was
beaten over dozen lengths. The
enthusiasm of the western men wa:
unbounded. They crowded around
John Harper, cheering and congrat
ulating the old man, who also seem
ed to be laboring under great excite,
ment. Immense sums were lost OF
the race by New Workers. JohI
Morrissey is among the heavy losers
The days races are acknowledged tc
be the finest and best conducted o
any on the American turf.

Not For Sale.

Fifty-two Democrats of the coun-
ty in Illinois named below, have
signed their names to the following
significant document.
FREEPoRT, ILL, June 26.-We the
undersigned, members of the Demo
cratic party Of Stephenson county,
State of Illinois, still believing in
Democratic principles and adhering
to our Democratic faith, declare
that under no circumstances will we
vote for Horace Greeley for Presi-
dent. If others are willing to sell
out their principles, we declare that
we are not, and if sold out at Balti
more, those who sell us or our votes
to the support of the Greeley party
cannot deliver our votes.
This is a sign of what will happen
in every part of the country where
there is any manhood left in the
Democratic party. Fifty-two Demo
Gratis in one county have, as we see
above, signifed their determination
to bolt the Greeley nomination if it
should be made at Baltimore. These
men will recognize in the man they
are asked to support, the most bitter
enemy they have ever had. We do
not know of a Republican journal in
the country to-day that in vigor of
denunciation can compare with the
Tribune under Horace Greeley's
management; and all his wealth Of
invective has been used against the
Democracy.

EX-SENATOR WADE, whose name
Judge Paine sought to connect with
his own in his detection, and in his
aren't search for political preferment
among the Daily Vardens, has writ
ten a letter in which he goes strong
ly for Grant and Wilson. He says
of them:
The civil Administration of Gen
eral Grant has been as beneficial
and successful as his military career
was efficient and decisive. When
was the country more prosperous in
every department than now? Look
at the reduction of the taxes and pub
lie debt at the same time, and then
tell me, grumbler, of what you have
to complain. Where is the man
since Washington, who has rendered
greater or better service to the Re-
public than General Grant? Name
him if he is to be found, and I will
help to make him President. But if
no such man is to be found, then l
am for Grant against the world.
AS to the second man on the tick
ct, Henry Wilson, he is well known
to us all. He is an old soldier in
the cause of Republicanism. He
served it faithfully and efficiently
from its organization. He is the very
incarnation of the genius of Ameri-
ca. In no other soil under heaven
could such a plant have taken root
and flourish. Born and nurtured in
poverty, obscurity and destitution,
experiencing in his own person all
the hardships and privations incl
dent to such condition, he knows
we'll how to sympathize with the la
boring portion of the people, and to
his eternal honor be it said that in
the days of his prosperity he has
never for a moment forgotten his as
sociates in poverty or ceased to labor
for their elevation and prosperity.

About two weeks ago John Cree
ger living at Hopewell Center, Sene-
ca county died. A day or two prev
ious to his death he told his daugh-
ter Mrs. Henry Miller, that in GER
tain place in the cellar she would
find quantity of gold coin, and that
in his pocket book was a paper ex-
planning where other valuables could
be found. When the appraisers
met, they proceeded to make an ex-
animation and found small arch
way carefully concealed, which be-
ing opened revealed an old tin cup,
a boot leg and other articles, each OF
which contained gold coin. In this
hole was found 1886 so, carefully
wrapped in pieces of elk, and ap-
pearing as if deposited several years
since. At another part of the house
was discovered $130 in coin, $2S in
silver, two $500 government bonds
and $10O railroad bond, making
$2,24S so, which had been hidden
away without the knowledge of any
ofthe family beside Mr.. c. The &C.
centric man was in good standing
and no proper reason can be sssign-
ed for this strange act. A few years
since he purchased farm borrow
ing money at s per cent, while hav-
ing the gold slowed away.

ereelex,s New Associates.

Among the orators at the Greeley
meeting at Baltimore, were Col. e.
NJ. Yerger, the murderer of Col.
Crane, and Col. Harry Gilmore, the
John Morgan of the State of Mary
land. These malignant ex-rebels
exhibited as much malignity to-
wards the Republican party of to-
day, as they did towards the defen-
ders of the Union in the hottest
fires of the war period. The tone of
their speech was much the same as
as of old. Col. Gilmore had the i'm
pudence to speak ofhimselfa as strug
Cling for the liberties of the South
ern people, and being so engaged
in endeavors to restore the rights
which had been wrested from the
people of the South by the usurpa-
tions of dishonest and tyrannical
Republican Administrations. He
said he was now prepared to extend
his hand to Horace Greeley, and
support his nomination for the Pres
idency. Whence this strange fel-
lowship2 Col. Gilmore evidently
has not changed. His speech evin-
ces the same malignity that charac-
terized him in former years when he
slew the Southern loyalists, and de-
spoiled them of their goods. The
change which makes this political
fellowship possible has been effected
in the mind of of Horace Greeley.
He has made proof of his treachery
to Republican princip pies sufficient to
bring the red-handed traitors and
land pirates of the South to his sup.
port. This fact should be sufficient
TO cause every patriot in the land to
recoil from Horace Greeley In deep
disgust.
A man is known by the company
he keeps. Horace Greeley is now
the associate and tool of the Tweeds
and Halls of the Tammany ring, and
of the Gilmores and Yergers of the
South. For the bribe of the Presi-
dency he consents to betray the
cause of freedom and justice into the
hands ofits bitterest foes. Let no
man be deceived. A mans chosen
associates prove his character be-
yond all dispnte. The ex-rebels as
sociate with Greeley only that they
may use him to break down the par
ty and the cause which have so ably
repelled their murderous assaults on
the Federal Union. When he shall
have served their uses they will cast
him aside as contemptuously as ever
betrayer was flung from the en-
brace of miscreants he had basely
consented to serve.-BEdde.

ONE of the most interesting fea-
lures of the great Grant and Wilson
ratification meeting'in Faneueil Hall
was the portion of Attorney General
Hoar's speech in which he gave par
ticulars of his intercourse with Pres
ident Grant as a Cabinet officer.
Referring to his position in Grants
Cabinet, he said: 81 desire to testi-
fy that during the. whole peried 1 sat
at the Cabinet council, 1 never heard
any measure of administration dis
cussed or considered except with
the single reference to the public
good; Applause and cheers; and
when remember the simple, direct
and modest man who sat at the head
of the table there, and take up Mr..
Summers speech, I can but think he
is talking about some one else
