COMING TO THE TRUTH.

The democrats have adopted the opinion
expressed in the Kennebec Journal tina,
.'it would be better for the country to
have Grant for President though drunk
every day, than to have Greeley President
though sober" We are glad to see them
coming to an acknowledgement of the
truth. The more conspicuous they make
it the more sensible we think they are.
It is rather hard on Greeley however for
his friends to be expressing such senti-
ments at this early stage of the campaign.
1t looks more like the work Of old time
democrats. than that Of the goslings who
are feathering out into Greeley geese.

GREEkETS BARGAIN WITH THE
DEMOCRATS.

When the Binghampton Republican
made its charges that Greeley entered
into negotiations with leading democrats
last fall in relation to the nomination for
President, Il was received with incredulity
by the public and vehemently denied by the
New York Tribune. In some quarters a
demand was made for the proof Of the
allegation against Mr.. Greeley. and in re-
spouse to this the Republican has given
the basis Of its statement which may be
found in another column. This is explicit.
It win satisfy public opinion. 1t will show
that Mr.. Greeley while professedly acting
in good faith inside the republican lines,
was bargaining with the enemy to betray
his party. rr a.-.
The New York Post at first doubted the
truth of the charge against Mr.. Greeley,
and called for the proof If there were any.

fence a weak one. and punctures it with
out mercy. The Times notices the defence
Of the Tribune as follows:
What Mr.. Greeley and his organ know
about honesty may be inferred from the way
in which they have met the charges of the
Binghampton Republican. The allegations
sustained by afidavits and references to q
