CAMPAIGN NOTES.


ley, and announced that he should vote for
the former. M M
tY- That was very good conundruui we
read somewhere. Why was George Wash
ington unlike Horace Greeley Because
George hacked trees In his first childhood
and Horace hacks trees In his second child"
hood.
E- Greeley's Reconciliation" commenced
when he reconciled himself to the New York
Tammany Ring, which is now his ardent
supporter for election, as It was for his
nomination at Baltimore.-Chtcdgo Journal
HE- To the great regret Of the Greeley
organs, the Administration OF President
Grant continues to reduce the national debt.
The reduction for the month of September
amounts to nearly ten millions and half.
~ The New York Post suggests, in view
of Mr.. Greeley's demands that the country
be surrendered to the Democracy because the
latter are converted, that Il Is usual for the
convert to go to the church, not the church
to the convert.
~ During three years OF Johnson's Ad-
ministration, with a tax Of two dollars q
gallon on whisky, only t93,O0O,0OO were
collected. During the three years Of GRANTS
Adm Inistration, with tax Of fifty cents 9
gallon on whisky, the amount collected apd
turned into the Treasury was s157 7,OOO,OOO.
tay- Wendell Phillips says: 81 have known
Horace Greeley for about forty years, and In
about every six months of those forty years
have been HORRIBLY disappointed In him.
With regard to General Grant, although
opposed his election four years ago, I must
say | have been pleasantly surprised in
him"
.Sy7In the New York Tribune of November
20, 1870, less than two years ago, Horace
Greeley said " The Cincinnati CoT'n'erctdt
will be good enough to inform its readers
that there is no office in the universe that
would be any inducement to Horace Greeley
TO forego or postpone his advocacy OF pro-
lection to home industry" .,...-.
.E@" When you have good thing, keep
It," ga bird in the hand is worth two In
the BUSH" We have a stable Government
now. No one can predict what sort of
Government we shall have with Greeley at
its head. Let us keep the bird we have got,
and not beat about the bush for one we are
not sure of catching at all.-ChicGgo Post.
.Y-This is the way the Georgia Revie'U
clasps hands: "When we do so debase our
manhood-when we do so outrage all the
noblest feelings of humanity-as to stand
over the graves Of the Confederate dead,
and in the language CT the ninth resolution
of the Cincinnati Baltimore platform ex-
claim, I'VE remember with gratitude the
heroism and sacrifices of the soldiers of the
North may our tongues cleave to the roofs
of our mouths, and may Gods thunderbolt
lay us lifeiess over the sacred mound we
thus dishonor."
tB-The Pittsburgh Gazette says of Mr..
Greeley's speech in that city: "His pro-
found love for Pittsburgh we commend.
We may say, not immodestly, we hope, that
we are deserving of esteem. Pittsburgh's in
dustries add very largely from year to year
to the wealth of the nation. But these in
dustries depend upon a firm and peaceful
Government. General Grant has given US
this. Where men made six dollars week
under Buchanan they make now at least
three times as much. We prefer, therefore,
an Administration that gives us prosperity.
AS Mr.. Greeley loves us so well, suppose he
votes for Grant"
B-The adjustment of Carl Schurz's ac-
count with the United States Treasury, for
his services as Minister to Spain, leaves a
little balance due from Carl sf 81 ,013.9l.
For the last month he has been speaking
daily Sundays excepted) at the rate of $3.50
a speech. This has yielded him So 800. Al
lowing ten dollars a day for travelling ex-
penses, board and lodging, and five dollars
more for lager, pretZels and Rhine wine,
and there is still an unappropriated re-
mainder Of s6,O5O The statement shows
that he is not in q condition of extreme
poverty. He in no danger from the wolf. T"
Is it too much, therefore, to ask that he step
up to the captains Office and settle?-NeU
York Commercial Advertiser.
Orators of the opposition, who are in
clined to expatiate upon the enormous
burdens of Federal taxation" and the lodi
GUS internal revenue" may be able TO tell
the truth by the following intelligence; First
BY the act of June 6, 1872 which went into
effect October 1, the only Government
stamps henceforth required are for tobacco,
fermented liquors, proprietary medecine,
matches and bank checks. Seeond-The
tax on incomes has expired by limitation.
Third-The tax on chewing tobacco was re-
duced July l. And fourth-The repeal OF
the tax on gas took effect August l. Here
are four reductions which have taken effect
since Congress adjourned.

W- -vice-President Colfax not only dis
poses very conclusively of the Credit
Mobilier slander, but he places Messrs
Horace White, Sam Bowles and Horace
Greeley in the unpleasant predicament OF
being obliged to confess that they aided ant
abetted, six years ago, in accomplishing
monstrous fraud upon the nation, or tha
they have been recently engaged in rearins
what they very we'll knew TO be an edifice o
slanderous falsehood. II there is a shadoV
of doubt upon any honest mind that thu
Oakes Ames business has been a pure inven
tion from first to last, Mr.. Colfax's clear ant
crushing reply to the IL bored misrepresenta
tions which have been circulated on the sub
ject cannot fail to dissipate it; and now oh
serve the way in which the Chicago and New
York Tri5unes and the Springfield RepWblicdl
will wIiggle out of the dilemma In Whicl
Mr.. Colfax has placed them.-NeO Yor

tY"A lengthy address to the Democrae
of the United States has been issued by tn
Committee of the Louisville Convention.

that body, opposes the Baltimore platforr
as undemocratic, contends that the masse
of the Democracy did not demand the nom
nation of Greeley and the adoption of hi
platform, and says the watchward is nc
"Anything TO beat Grant," but "Anythin
TO prevent Greeley from beating and destro!
ing the Democratic party" Grants elet
tion, it says, would be less calamity tina
that of Greeley, and If the former is chosel
the responsibility rests on the Baltimol

a Democratic nominee or platform. I'll
