Warrington, the well known cores
bondent Of the Boston Journal, who
was a Liberal until that movement de-
generated into scallawaggery, writes
the following to his paper;
81 don't know what sort Of people
thev have in Ohio or Indiana, but ii
these speeches help Greeley any there,
they must be an extraordinary set
While they demonstrate his incapacity
in stronger light than ever, IT would
seem that they ought to satisfy every
doubter that for sheer and downright
dishonesty and trickery we have new
er seen his equal as a candidate for
the Presidency. This campaign has
had many able and admirable
speeches, and in spite of the general
DRIFT of partisanship, many fair and
candid ones. Doubtless among the in-
glorious crowd of tenth-rate orators
who have gabbed here and there In
New Eggland and the West, there
| have been as stupid and knavish
| speeches as Greeley's, but the country
has no record of them"

Greeley and the Soldiers,

The following address tells its own
story:
HEADQUARTERS VETERANS NAT.l
CON-, FIFTH AVENUE HoTEL,}
New YORK Cry, Sep. %, '72.)
To the Soldiers and Sailors scho serred
IN the Union Army and Nary during
the late tcdr:
COMRADES We. your representa-
tiyes, met at Pittsburg and adopted q
series of resolutions which you have
already seen. You have discovered
that we expressed sentiments which
are entertained almost unanimously
by the veterans of the country. In
view of the fact that Mr.. Greeley has
charged us with the desire to engender
feelings of hate toward the survivors
of those who were in armed rebellion
against the Government, we desire to
[reiterate our wish that all differences
may be obliterated, with this one sim
gle condition, that under no circum-
stances win we support man for
Chief Magistrate of the Nation who,
in the hour of his country's greatest
danger, did not appreciate the sitla-
ton. and, by words and acts, step for
ward to its defense.
We deny that one single word, ell
ther in the speeches or platform of that
convention justifies Mr.. Greeley in the
remarks which he uttered at Pittsburg
and his entire lack of courtesy to-
ward the soldiers and sailors who as
sembled there serves to confirm us il
the opinion that he is quite unfit to bt
trusted in any position where loyalty
to his Government, just regard fol
the feelings of others, and an abnega
ton of self is required. We believe
he will live long enough to regret the
slanderous utterances he made on that
occasion.
1t only remains for us to impress up
on you the great Importance of the is
sues which are presented to you, and tt
urge that you will organize through
ont the country in harmony with tn.
regular Republican organizations, and
do all in your power to elect Genera
Grant Chief Executive of the Govern
ment for four years more, and thereby
complete the great work you began il
1851. A. L. BURNSIDE, Chairman.

a canard

t-
Gen. G. M. Dodge and Col. John T..
Baldwin, of Council Bluffs, are respec-
lively President and President of
the Pacific National Bank, of that city,
and ,well-known Republicans. Their
Bank held a chattel mortgage on the
Council Bluffs Times for $500, for
money overdrawn for years, and find-
Ing that Liberal sheet going to pot,
they were compelled to take charge OF
it to secure themselves.
And upon this straw the drowning
liar of the Chicago Tribune heralds
to the world the startling information
that these well-known gentlemen had
purchased the Liberal and Democratic
Council Bluffs Times, and had run ny
the names Of Greeley and Brown, anG
were consequently supporting them

quire this kind of bolstering up, mus
