CAMPAIGN NOTES.

"A sentimental whine" is what
The Chicago Times calls Sumne r's re.
ply to Speaker Blaine's letter.
The st. Louis Democrat picks the
following from Webster's Unabridg-
cd Summer, n. A summoner.
Obsolete r.
ben. Wade gives ID as his opin-
ION that Grant will be elected by the
largest majority ever received by q
Presidential candidate
San Francisco has already two
Grant and Wilson clubs that are com.
posed entirely of Democrats who
cannot go Horace Greeley.
"A lettcrfrom Secretary Boutwell,
says that the prospect in Maine, is
good, and that there never was such
spirit among the mass of Republi-
cans as exists now.
That comet which was to annihi.
late the world August IL, heard of
the North Carolina election and con-
cluded that we were doing too well
to be disturbed now.
AT a recent Grant and Wilson
meeting in Grant City, Missouri,
Governor Farwell spoke in favor of
the great Soldier, and against the
great secessionist.
--Of twenty-seven Republican pa.
pers in Missouri which went with
Crate Brown and SchurE for State
Reform; oil but one (Schurz's paper)
are out and out for Grant.
The New York Commercial Ad-
1erttSer says Now that Crate
Brown denies the drunk at Now Ha.
ven, be must go further and deny
the speech or he will be worse off
than before"
Horace Greeley is travelling
through Main on an election
eering tour seeking "the home of
his childhood" He makes little
speeches, all about "me," 81" and
myself" wherever he stops.
---"The people of the United
States know General Grant-have
known all about him since Donelson
and Vicksburg; they do not know
his SANDERS, and do not care TO
know them. Horace greeley.
Horace Greeley, when he Erst
saw it, thought the suggestion that
he would be the best Democratic
candidate to run against Grant about
the most absurd thing he ever heard
or read Horace has changed his
mind, but the people have not.
Mr. Greeley continues his talks
and travels, to the terror of his
friends, who beseech him to do any
thing but expose him too often to
the attacks of the Republicans. The
good Doctor, who has not had holi-
day for many years. seems resolved
10 make the most of it.
The Waukesha freeman says:
Week before las: there was mort
gage on the Oconomowoc Times of.
flee of about 81 600, and no hopes of
speedy p yment. Last week it was
paid, and the Times Immediately
shouted for Honest Horace" Quite
coincidence"
Mr. Summers health has been very
seriously affected by the North Car
DINA election. He has been implCr-
cd to speak in New York and Maine
in behalf Of Greeley, and replied that
it was physically impossible" for
him to do anything of the kind on
account of the condition of his health.
News from all parts ofKentucky
is favorable to Republicanism.
Grant will get more Democratic
votes than Greeley will Republican.
By actual count there are less than
two hundred Liberal Republicans in
the state. The Republican net gain
in twenty-five counties, at tho recent
election, is 1900.
For the comfort of our Greeley
friends, we would say that so far ov-
cry election held this year has either
gone Republican or given large Re,
publican gains, viz: New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Oregon,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky.
Maine will iolow, and then all the
others.
In his letter to the Major of
Chattanooga, President Grant says:
"My desire Is to sec harmony, con-
"cord and prosperity exist every
'wherc in our common country"
But the unreconciled rebels and cop
perheads and the doughtaoed LIB
erals" tell US that Greeley is tho
great aud only champion of "recon-
ciliation."
The London Saturday ReUiew, in
an article on American politics, char
actorizes Summers elaborate diatrbe
on Grant as mess of "timid
twaddie, and says it produces upon
the mind of an enlightened foreigner
the impression of an enlarged copy
of a schoolboy's thome---in pompous
phrase, interspersed with zeal aud
imaginary examples from history.
The Liberals are very anxious
TO believe that the issues of the war
of the rebellion no longer exist.
When did they end? When will
they end ? Not as long as jeff. Da-
Wis lives and his bailer is the stand
ard-bearer of all the corrupt elements
that has led US into the rebellion.
Now, as ever, "the price Of liberty is
eternal vigilance"
