ERR ORS OF THE KENOSHA UNION
NOT TO SAY LIBERAL
LYING.

The Kenosha Union of last week says:
at is ascertained that 2104 papers are for
Greeley and 1898 for Grant, In the Union,
that there are SO German papers for
Greeley and 80 for Grant and one neutral.
A bad show for the gift taker, especially
the Teutonic outlook"
Just how far the above, in giving the
whole mum Der of papers in the Union for
Greeleyand Grant, differs from the truth,
we are unable to state. How far it diff
ers from the truth, as to the number Of
German papers for Greeley and Grant and
neutral, can be judged of by the follow.

Illinois Stats Zojtung as translated for

THE GERMAN-AMERICAN PRESS.
A list of all German, American papers
has been prepared and published with
great deal Of labor and care. It contains
only few unimportant mistakes, which
do not affect it's general truthfulness as a
whole. There are now 119 Germ an Amer
lean papers for Grant and 105 for Greeley
Among the Geaman Greeley sheets are
none of any Importance, except the
W6StZicb6 Post Of st. Louis, the Milwaukee
Sseb0te, and the Louisville An2e5ger. On
the contrary there are among the papers
that support General Grant some Of the
best and largest German American jour-

Minnesota Stats zeituag, and others.
Campaign sheets, that is papers started or
bought for the period of the campaign,
are more numerous on the Greeley side
than for Grant. In addition to these 119
Grant and 105 Greeley papers in the
country, there are still large number Of
papers all over the country which occupy
a more or less neutral position. The
three best and most influential German
Democratic organs in the country, the
New York Sta0ts ZeitN11g, An2e5ger DIES
Westerns and the Philadelphia Democrat
refuse most positively to support Greeley,
and these three sheets together have twice
as many readers as the entire German
Greeley press combined. The Cincinnati
V0LkSbLatt is neutral, with strong lean
ing toward Grant So is also H6inTen's
Turner These statistics put one fact
beyond q doubt: that with the reading
German American public Greeley is in a
pitiable minority"
If the Stats Zeit9ng is correct the In
ION got about four -ffths of the number
of German papers which are for Greeley
and about one-fourth the number which
are for Grant This is literally erroneous
net to say Liberal Lying"
But the German papers are coming in
so fast for Grant that even the Stats lei.
