A correspondent writing to the Cincinnati
Gazette from Dublin, Ind, says: "out Of the
seyeuty.fye Greeley men who were claimed here
month ago, ten only remain, and before the
campaign is closed the most of them will Yeer
around all right, and old Wayne will give her
usual republican majority"
Not only the son of Abraham Lincoln, but
also the two sons of Stephen A. Douglas, are
Grant men, Robert NJ Douglas, the ex-
senator's older son, is among the most active
workers at Washington for Grants re-elec-
ton.
The Tidiout, Pa, Journal can no longer re-
main neutral in the pending political struggle,
and now goes for Grant and the whole republic
can ticket, with able articles giving its reasons
therefor. This is in accordance with the grow
ing sentiment of the county.
The Calhoun Democrat, published at Hardin,
H., which has been, since its establishment, a
democratic paper, announces in its lastssneits
purpose to support in its future the republican
party and its candidates. The Democrat is the
only paper published in Calhoun county.
The Chicago Times (dem.) makes its point
rather cleVerly when it says Mr.. Greeley S
friends must not throw stones at the Blanton
Duncanites until they can discover reason
why democrats have not as good right to
hold an informal national convention at Louis
vile as republicans had to hold one at Cinciu-
natl"
The New York Tribune is not always success
full in its efforts at witticism. But when it says
''the danger of the campaign is the confidence
our friends feel that the election of Horace Gree
ley is so much desired by the masses that II VIII
be accomplished without the ordinary campaign
work" il perpetrates one of the most stupen-
dous jokes of the campaign.
The Madison Bulletin, a democratic journal
in Georgia, has just pulled down the Ireeley
flag and run up the Louisville ensign, and says
awe to-day haul down the names Of Greeley and
Brown and raise in their stead, us our standard
bearers in the presidential contest, the true, the
tried, and unainchng patriots and states
men, Charles O'Conor Of New York and }. Proc
tor Knott of Kentuck
The Omaha Herald Greeley dem.), the editor
of which, DR.. George L. Miller, is one of the
ablest and most influential democrats in Ne
braska, tenders the following advice to his pres
ent political standard bearer; "Mr. Greeley, for
tunately, has finally got back to Chappaqua.
He had better remain there" Horace
Greeley's speech at Portland is worthy of man
who is not afraid, and who possesses abundant
ability TO declare his views. But Mr.. Greeley
had better stop making campaign speeches"
A prominent republican In Alabama writes to
Attorney General Williams that the political
campaign in that state Is advancing fayorably,
and that Grant will carry the state by MAORI
| ty of from eight to twelve thousand. The letter
says that large number of democrats are dis
satisfied with their state ticket and will vote
with the republicans. The Greeleyites have met
with an utter fail re In trying to divide the col
ored vote, and are very respondent The rigid
enforcement Of the kuklux law by Judge Busteed
causes the republicans to believe that there will
be fair election, in which event the state is GER
tain for Grant by the figures named.
The Terre Haute Express says: "An elderly
colored gentleman of this city found himself a
few days ago in controversy with Greeley
democrat, who assured him that Horace Greeley
had always been strong republican, and a
steadfast friend of the blacks. Very true, sab
very rue,' said the Rthiope; but then you
know, sir, that the debil was in heaven once
The Waechter am Erie having kept standing
in its columns an alleged extract from an old
speech by Senator Wilson in which is expressed
| the most bitter hatred of the foregn-born resi-
dents Of this country, now takes it out, manful-
ly retracts all that it has said against Senator
Wilson on that head, and expresses its regret
for having been imposed upon by SO impudeDt
and malicious forgery.
Noting that the tide is setting heavily against
Greeley in its own locality, as everywhere else,
the Rochester Democrat says 'In one shop in
this city, where one hundred and fifty men are
employed, nearly all of them were for Greeley
when the nominations were first made yet now
onehundred and twenty-five have signed the club
enrolment for the republican nominees and most
of the remainder will doubtless do SO. The
sober second thought is producing the right eff
feet upon many of those who were at 6rst mis-
led by the hypocritical shouts of reform, which
were set up by Greeley tricksters"
The Hon. j. s. Black has received the Tribune
| whitewash for declaring for Greeley to beat
| Grant. In doing so he declared eternal war
against the amendments to the constitution in
this Style "The 14th and 18th amendments
were frauds upon the spirit and letter Of the in
| strument, inasmuch as they effected the worst
| outrage which it was made to prevent. They
| were carried against the known will of nearly
| every state in the Union by shameless decep-
| ton in the north, and by brutal violence in the
1 south. May this be washed in Lethe and for
| gottenP Certainly not, as long as any portion
| of our people are compelled to bear the intoler-
| able burden OF the yoke thus fastened upon
| them"
