Gen. McCook states that the people of Col
orado are all for Generel Grant, and bitterly |
hostile to Greeley.
The Cincinnati Times and Chronicle claims
that 10000 Ohio Democrats will either stay at
home on election day or vote for Grant
oberlin would ''gO for" Greeley, the great
abolitionist, they said; and SO It does A can
vass of the College Grant, 800; Greeley
81.
1t is estimated that in Auglaizo county there
are five hundred Democrats who refuse to take
the dose. In Williams county there is an
equal number.
In Chicago, $50 Democrats have formed a
Grant club. Their number will be largely in
creased. Its President offers to bet 81, 900 that
Grant will be elected.
George Law said recently: "Mr. B., I have
about million and a half in United States
bonds, and if Mr.. Greeley should be elected 1
would sell them out Immediately"
A boat containing boy and girl, children
of Mr.. Lescor, drifted over Niagara Falls on

man named Barney and an unknown man.
In johnson county, Indiana, the Democratic
candidate for the Legislature "sets his teeth"
and presistently refuses to take crow meat
under any or all circumstances. Somebody
must eat it, and there is trouble in the camp.
We have some very vigorous, hsrd-working
anti-Greeley Democrats in Clarke County,iust
now, and they promise to mach every Greeley
Republican with genuine, thoroughbred,
hard-fsted Democrat who will vote for Grant.
Another horrible death, resulting from
druggists carelessness or ignorance, occurred
in New York, Thursday, little Italian girl
named Balzini, being the victim. Supposing
she was taking paregoric, she swallowed
large dose of oil Of vitriol. Her agonies were
terrible, and she died in few hours. Robt:
E. Wilson, who sold the drug, neglected to
label the bottle. Hence the fatal mistake.
Horace Greeley, it has been proven beyond
doubt, gave Seymour and the Democratic lea
ders assurance that he favored the PAYMENT OF
PENSIONS TO DISABLED CONFEDERATE SOL
DIERs BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT,
thus placing the traitor on the same footing
with the patriot, and offering a premium on
treason. Greeley has not denied the charge
because it is true and the veracity of the wit
nesses is more to be trusted than his own or
that of his friends.
Admiral Semmes made a speech at q politi-
cal meeting in Mobile the other evening, in
which he said: at is Horace Greeley who has
come to the captain of the Alabama, and not
the captain of the Alabama who has gone to
Greeley. He stood where he had always
stood. He prefarred him to any war Demo-
crat. Baltimore could only have nominated
war Democrat. We would not DESTROY the
the integrity of the Democratic party by vot-
ing for. Let the dead past bury its dead. Let
US shake hands over the chasm." Semmes and
Horace are admirably suited.
The Republicans of Indianapolis can 90 up
to the head. On Monday morning last, at
half past eight o'clock, the first blow was
struck for the erection of Central Wigwam.
In just thirty-six hours from that time six thous
and people were seated in the building to lis
ten to the opening speech of the campaign, by
General Oglesby of Illinois. The roof, con-
tanning ten thousand square feet was put on
in four hours, on Tuesday, and at the same
workmen were engaged in laying the floor,
putting in seats, arranging decorations, etc.
We doubt if this achievement has ever been
excelled.
Reports just received from Persia state that
the famine in that country is increasing rather
than abating. at Teheran and other places
on the border the beasts of burden have all
been eaten, and there are no means of tras-
portation left. Gases of cannibalism, horrible
even to think of, have occurred and are still
occurring. A correspondent at TiAis says that
at Flamatan, two women, assisted by seven
other persons, carried of three children and
ate them. The cannibals were arrested, and
on being searched the bones Of the children
were found concealed in their clothes, The
Grand Vizier condemned the two women TO
hanged, and their accomplices to death by
starvation. A week afrerward these wretches
had eaten the other two. This equals in hor-
TOR the tale told by Josephus of cannibalism
during the siege of Jerusalem.
The Dispatch stated at the time the corres-
pondents were writing and telegraphing from
Baltimore about that petition which was
stretched from the stage to the back part of
Ford's Theatre" and contained "the sigma
lures of $4,000 Germans urging the convention
to nominate Greeley" that it was humbug
and fraud. The New York Stats Zeitung
confirms the position the Dispatch took, and
says that such paper was circulated in that
city, but that Greeley's friends got hold of ga
protest against the Excise law" which had
been signed several years ago, and pasted it to
q set of resolutions or something of the kind
in favor of Horace and B. Gratz. There is
a speciment of the honesty which obtains
among Greeley's friends and associates. Ly-
ing, swindling, stealing, and corruptions of all
sorts go hand in hand to help the Greeley
cause. But anything to beat Grant. Pitts
