Gen. Jno. A. Dix whom voters are asked
to-day to support for the GoyernorsLip Of New-Yorh
lately saw fit to come before the public yirulent
critic upon Mr. Greeley. He declared that nobody could
honorably support Mr. Greeley because OF the sent
ments he expressed concerning the South ~ the Winter
OF ls6C-Gl. Extracts below, from Gen. DiXs own
writings. show that Gen. Dix himself at that time eX
pressed sentiments immeasurably more Objectionable
We have set up this rule of elecing candidates in
1872 on the Issues OF 1sGO but Cen Dix has. Is it not
fair then, TO Judge and condemn him by his own rule.
Lyman Treinan is candidate for ConGressman-at
Large. Judged by Gen. Dxs rule he too, Is incompe
tent. Read below what Eo said in the Winter Of lsG0Gl
Then read what be has been saying I'm the last six
months about President Grant, and his expression Of
desire for the success the Liberal party. The promise
OF nomination to Office tempted him to Hop. Are voters
resolved 10 flop with him

TTtsaaiR on Grant Murphy IN Aprg, 1914.
"The present Administration Las done some things
which have not met my approval, ana which have
weakened 1t in the eyes Of the Republican party.
For instance / think that Gen Grant should not
nave made distinction as between two wings OF the
party in the distribution OF PATRONAGE he was elected
BY the whole party and IL was bad pOhcy 70 make moro
OF one wing Than OF the other. Then, again. do not
think that be has done all he might have done IN endeay-
oring harmonic conflicting Interests He should not,
in my opinion have made war with one 10 gratiy the
other aud thus make breach that might become dan
perOus do think that his appointment OF such
man as Tom Murphy TO the COllestOrshp OF New York
was very nice exhibition OF craftsmanship but after
he was appoiued and the investigation relative to the
CustOm-hOuse revealed the rOttehheSs e1sung IN the
mana ae ncnt OF its affairs. he certainly ought to have
removed him at once, and that without giving him
such public indOrsement as no did after he was nnay
removed Had be simply removed him at once the peo-
ne would have taken for granted that the President
was an xOus heed the popular will, which was that
the CustOm-house should be placed IN new bsnas and
,,nder better control But what Denent IN the
neope's minds the, President got by removing MURPHY
he lost by the letter OF Endorsement he gave Murphy
