The truthful Tribune had full particulars, with
names and dates, of the organization of
Greeley and Brown Club at Aurora, near
Buffalo, N. Y. But the local paper says the
fact is that there was no such organization, nor
any meeting whatever as claimed.
Gen. Grant having visited the Boston Jubi-
lee, whereby the attendance was swelled to
10000, the Greeleyites thought to do SO much
better with their man as to satisfy all that he
was "the man Of the people and for the peo-
pie" So they got him invited to Boston, and
on the day of his visit the attendance was l2,-
600, or about one-slxth that when Grant was
present. 1t is hoped the Greeley folks are
satisfied with the result OF the test.
Friday morning, near Lloydsville, Belmont
County, man named Thomas Gwynn and
his SON, lost their hVei in q horrible manner.
They were engaged in sinking well; after
blasting, the father descended to examine the
bottom and he instantly felt the effect of the
poisonous gas and called for help His son
descended and tied rope around him while
those above pulled him out, but too late, as
life was extinct bofors he reached the earth.
The rope was instantly lowered for the sen,
who made it fast around his body and was
drawn out, but in the same condition as his
father.

Just say that county in Pennsylvania can be
named now which usually gives rising one
thousand Democratic majority, that will give
handsome majority for Grant over Greeley.
And this is only sample of many others.
Nor do the considerable numbers of Demo-
Gratis there, who refuse to be roped into the
support of Greeley, intend, if they can help it,
to permit the Greeleyites to obtain any such
advantage as the election of Buckalew would
give them. They regard the two as wearing
the same. It is an interesting phase just de-
veloped in our State canvass.
It is understood that the Republican State
Executive committee, after great amount of
correspondence with County committees and
leading Republicans in all parts of the State,
as well as with Republican Executive commit
tees of other States, has decided to formally
open the campaign on or about the 10th of
next month, when speakers of great talent
will be sent to every important city and town
in the State. The contest will be begun with
greater number of "ield pieces than it was
last year, and continued at the same degree of
terrific warfare until the enemy is routed on
election day. Everybody remembers the eff
fective opening in the month Of August last,
and the vigorous canvass that followed The
Chippaquacks are informed it is proposed to
improve upon that.
The New York Tribune, which was, and is
now, under the supreme editorial control of
Horace Greeley, accepted from Tweed, Con-
molly, Mayor Hall & Co., a New York city ad-
vertising contract ranging from $4,000 to
| Sl00, 600 per annum, with the tacit understand
ing that the Tribune was to say nothing about
the gigantic expenses of the city government,
and frauds of the above named managers. The
Tribune kept its part of the contract till it was
compelled to speak out by the tremendous
force of public opinion, sir aoeeks after the
Times made its expose of the fact that the
Tammany Ring had stolen S2O,OOOO0O from
the public treasury. Mr.. Greeley, as Tfi-
bnse stockhoIder, pocketed his share of the
bribe.
The public now are getting an insight intC
the damning rottenness of the Fisk-Stokes

A letter from Geneva to the World give
the report of long interview with CaleI
Gushing, in which he says: 81 do not thinl
much of Greeley's chances. observe that
great many prominent men of each of tht
parties, said to be coalescing in his favor arr
beginning to make their voices heard in pro
tests 1 think Grants chance certain. YoI
see, when it comes to the pinch, Greeley'i
nomination by the Democrats can not fail tC
bring about split in that party, and more
than that, many Republicans will refuse tc
vote for him because of their fear of the effects
of Democratic support on the integrity of his
Republican policy. Many Democrats will dc
the same process of reasoning applied to theil
own political interests. There will be kind
of chassez eroiz of votes, which may neutralizt
the action of each section of the two parties
