Such is the policy of the Burlington Route,

Nebraska, and all that beautiful region south
ofthe Platte, filled with r. r. lands and home
steads Sd, To St. Joseph, Kansas City and
all Kansas points.
The roads splendidly built, have the
best bridges, finest cars, the Miller platform
AMI coupler, and the safety air brake (to pre-.
vent the loss of life that's everywhere else
happening); Pullman's sleepers, Pullman din
ing cars, large and powerful engines, (to make
quick time and good connections), and are in

Buchanan's old friend, Jeremiah
Black, gives it as his deliberate
opinion that, "of all the prominent
" men in the country, Horace Gree
" ley is the only one who lacks every
qualification for the Presidency. "
The Greeley organ excuses the
Maryland Democratic Convention
for emitting to indorse the Cincin-
natl ticket on the ground that the
country delegates were anxious to
get homel
The strongest objection the Demo-
tcracy now have to General Grant is
his execution to the letter of the
measures and policies advocated and
sustained by Mr.. Greeley.
Yerger, who escaped hanging for
murder in Mississippi two or three
years ago through lax administra-
ton of law, is new in Baltimore
bowling for Greeley.
The New York Tablet (Roman
Catholic organ) "can hardly con.
ceive of a man less fitted for the
presidency than Horace Greeley

How it Is Done.

The New York Void which has
protested with such vehemence
against the nomination of Greeley at
Baltimore, at last shows signs of
obeying the party lash, and now in
dicates that it may support the Chap
paquack if elevated by the Demos
cratic National Convention. The
transition from Democracy to Liber-
alism is adroitly made. The Cincin-
All platform is first declared viola
ton of no trust of Democratic faith,
and then the author Of the Greeley
letter of acceptance is praised as an
honest man and patriot. The pr o.
gress Of the party towards Greeley
is happily expressed in this calendar,
framed by contemporary
January-The old idiot Greeley.
February-The eccentric Greeley.
March-Old Horace Greeley.
April-Horace Greeley.
May-Mr. Horace Greeley.
June-Hohesi Uncle Horace.
Once conceded that Mr.. Greeley
bears the last-named relationship,
and the Democrats have easy sailing,
They pretend to believe that it is
Greeley that has changed, not them,
and that it is the Republican organi.
cation that has been divided, not
theirs.

CAMPAIGN NOTES.

The New York StddtS Zeitung, the
organ of the German Democrats of
the state and city, and the most ex-
tensively circulated German political
paper in the Union, still opposes
Greeley, and warns the Baltimore
Convention his nomination will en-.
sure the reelection ofGeneral Grant.
The detection of the German Demo-
Gratis has alarmed the Greeleyites,
and every effort has been made by
them to secure their support, but 80
far with very little effect.
An Iowa paper has been examin-
ing the names of Grant and Greeley
and tells the result thus: both
have the same handle, CIR. One has
the suffix ant, which means industri-
Gus, prudent, full of work, foresight
and energy, and the other has the suf-
fix eeL-y, which means wriggling,
slippery and not twice in the same
place"
OF Horace Greeley, the CONNER
cial Advertiser says: "More absurd
than Sancho Panza, more crotchety
that Don Qdixote, vain as Narcissus,
treacherous as Arnold, fusion of all
peculiar qualities of all these mythic-
al and actual personages would be
requisite to form his double"
Henry Ward Beechcr writes thus
in the last number Of the Christian
Union: Gas for ourselves. we stand
by our colors-Grant and Wilson,
and the old Republican party, which
has been tried and proved in stormy
days, when the whole nation leaned
upon it and found it q sure support.
General Butler, in a speech at
Faneuil Hall, Boston, said in refer.
ence TO the Endorsement of Greeley
at Baltimore $50 far as l have any
understanding of political action, the
only fear | have under Heaven is
that be will not be nominated at Bal
timore."
J. Proctor Knott, of Duluth fame,
carries clear head he can draw an
Interference as we'll as q joke. He
tells his Democratic brethren that
Grant will whip Greeley out of his
boots and, furthermore, that the
Democratic party cannot be united
on Greeley.
1t is a significant fact that the
speakers at Dcmocratic,G Greeley
meetings urge thesupport of the Gin
cinati nominees on the ground that
it is the only way to place the Demo-
cratic party in power.
Henry Wilson is to make a tour of
he Northwest some time during The
campaign.
