CHANCELLOR EAST, chairman of
the Republican Executive Committee,
is out in card protesting against a
Democratic Electoral ticket, upon the
ground, that it is unusual for one par
ty to nominate a ticket for another.
Admitting the force of the objection.
we would Ike to know, if the Demo
Gratis choose to adopt the nomination,
at Cincinnati, bywhat process Of Undue
ton can it be shown that the party, so
nominating may not become pro tcm.,
at least, the party of those adopting
the same? We would like to be in
formed also, while upon the subject of
usage, if il would not be very unusual,
for a small minority TO nominate a
ticket for an overwhelming majority?
We see, in the protest, more indica-
tions Of a desire to thwart the ends
of political justice, than to promote
the harmony so essential, at this time,
to accomplish those ends. Individual
ly, we care. not straw, which party
makes the ticket, but can see no valid
reason why it should not be done by
the party that is to elect the ticket-ii
elected at all.

Voorhees, Again.

The Hon. D. w. Voorhees, has taken an.
other occasion to express his views on Mr..
Greeley, this time at Terre Haute, Indiana.
After expressing the high hopes which had
been raised among the Democracy by the dis.
affection of portion of the Republican party,
and how suddenly they had all been dashed
to the ground when the Cincinnati Convention
nominated Horace Greeley, be proceeded to
consider at length some of the reasons why
consistent Democrats could not support Mr.
Greeley for the Presidency. 1t no more oc-
CURED to him that he or the men who nomi-
mated him would have the brazen auda-
city to expect Democratic support, than it
did that the disciples of the Christian religion
would turn away from their faith an hour and
worship Mohammed as the prophet Of God
When he heard of Mr.. Greeeys nomination
he thought of the Bible Something little
strange for Mr.. Voorhees) and recalling the
passage "a house divided against itself can
not stand" looked for an easy Democratic
victory in the dissensions in the Republican
ranks. One Of the strongest objections be
has to Greeley results from the fact that the
latter iavors Summers civil rights bill another
results from his tariff views still another in
superable objection to Mr.. Greeley is found
in his belief in the Capitalization of power.
His activity 10 favor of the impeachment OF
Andrew johnson docs not at all commend Mr..
Greeley in his eyes. Mr. Voorhees, predicts
that ii Greeley receives the Democratic en-
dorsement at Baltimore and every prominent
member Of that party supports him he cannot
