TIE PRESS OF GERMANY ON GREE.
LEY AND BROWN.

When the news of Gree,ey's nom
nation at Cincinnati first reached
Germany, the leading liberal journ'
ais in that country. with one accord
expressed amazement and disgust
and predicted that the Germans II
the United States would never sup
port such q ticket. Since that time
their expression on this subject have
grown stronger and stronger, ano
now it is asserted by the Nuremberg
Courier, widely-circulated demo
cratic newspaper, that there Is IL
Germany not single liberal newspa
per but would consider the election
of Greeley to the Presidency q grea
calamity and serious blow STRUCK
at the respect which the United
States now commands in Germany
On the other hand, the organs OF ul.
tramontanism and political reaction
in that country chuckIe over the nom
nations made at Cincinnati, and. they
reproduce with evident delight mn.
merous scraps from Greeley papers
in which the prospects Of the Demo
cratic candidate are set forth in the
most glowing terms.
The, Berlin Geymdaia, the organ OF
the German Jesuits, than which no
more intolerant and reactionary or.
gan exists in the country, publishes q
letter from its New York correspond
ent, in which Greeley's election by an
overwhelming majority is predicted,
and comments on 1t as follows:
This is indeed cheering news from
the New World. While We here are
fioundering In the mud of false pro-
gressive ideas, the Americans are
swaking from the intoxication of their
miserable war, and place on their |
shield man who at heart always
sympathized with those whom we |
hcnor most, and under whose gui-
dance alone there is safety, stability |
and salvation for 81 nations,
And the Munich Volss5ois, another |
journal of the same stripe, sayss
1--WE urge our readers to ask their
friends and relatives in Amerlcs to
support Mr.. Greeley for President.
Mr.. Greeley stood by our prosecuted
when the tyrannousI
Grant had not word of comfort for
hem. Let the former now be re-
and the latter punished, by
)ur friends"
A widely different language is that
,f the German liberal journals.
The Vossisehs Zsituag, Of Berlin,
'ays:
"We are at loss to know how any
Ierman-American can allow himself
% be misled by the sophistries by
which unscrupuious men try to make
he candidature of Horace Greeley
,alatable to our countrymen in the
United States. No! They cannot
md will not support him--an incar-
nation OF inconsistencies, of crude
heorIes, of exploded notions on pub
ic economies, a weathercock always
md never consistent. Thank God!
avery mail from America brings Us
that the numbers of the
German Americans who will 60 for
Greeley is very limited.' /:
The Pro1ineial Correspondent, Bis
marks immediate organ, says in an
lrticle on the Presidential election in
he United States: Il,
"We notice with intense regret
hat certain politicians and news
papers in the United States are un-
enough to- array the Ger
nan votes in that republic against
President Grant on account of the
course he pursued toward Germany .
Turing our war with France. We
ave said it before, and we repeat it
low: This government has found !
10 fault with the conduct of Presi-
|ent Grant towards our country dur
ng the war. On the contrary, he
as given US many and valuable proofs
4 genuine sympathy for our cause"
How much influence German opin-
on has on German-American opinion u
Te are unable to say, but of all P
be extraordinary things Of this be- a
campaign, none is more Il
ingular to our minds than that I,
Jesuit organs" in the hearts of I
Europe should be exulting over Gree D
ey and Brown. a
