seA-The friends of Horace Greeley

nn. The friends of Horace Greeley
have been Boosting for him the sup
port of several loud outhed fem ales
of the country. But the best wo-
men as well as the best men of the
nation are in hearty sympathy and
co operation with President Grant.
Let the Liberals who nominated
Greeley and the Democrats who
have accepted him get what com,
fort they can out of the follow ing
resolutions adopted at a recent meet
ing of the Illinois woman's Suffrage
Association
ReolUed, That General Grant is en-
titled to the support, gratitude, en-
thusiastc admiration of the women
of this country for the impartial man
ner in which be has bestowed pat
ronage, filling the heart of many
a widow with joy as her request for
an office or a position under the gov
eminent was granted by our gallant
soldier. President.
RESOLVED, That as Horace Greeley
is the uncompromising enemy of NO.
man suffrage, 10 favor of depriying
her of public Office and position I'M
der the Government, diminishing
thereby her chance to earn an honest
living, and greatly increasing her
temptations to earn the wages of sin,
which is death, it is the duty of ev-
cry woman religiously and conscien.
tiously to work and pray for his de-
feat and the humiliation Of the plat
form that endorses him.

"SrRUcK A NOTE" -Thursday
mornings Chicago Tribune says:
"The Baltimore Convention struck
"the note that finds an echo in the
"hearts of the American people"
The same paper, about six months
ago, also "struck a note" when it oe-
clared:
Horace Greeley is not now, and
"never has been, a man who ought
"to be trusted with an official position
requiring practical wisdom, ordina-
Try craftsmanship, or firm, consistent
faction"

In WESTERN New YoRK.-A Buff
alo dispatch says "many Grant and
Wilson meetings were held through.
out Western New York Saturday
evening. The Republican forces are
organizing for determined fight.
Grant will carry Western New York
by larger majority than in 1868.
No Greeley for Republicans here
abouts."

If the Tribune would publish few
of these interesting facts it might do
the people favor. But as it has
ceased to be an organ, and parted
with its II onkey, we can hardly ex-
pect the repetition of old times.
The same proportion of roguery
holds good with all the thieves that
have been ferreted out during Sem
eral Grants term. More than three
fourth Of the whole number were APP
pointed by Andy Johnson. How
very liberal" it would be to have
our Democratic friends tell the truth,
and allow their constituents to know
who it was that appointed the
thieves.

only two of the officials were ap-

Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1872-08-06

1
American flag and government and
people, | will say from positive
knowledge, stand higher here with
the whole people, except perhaps
the higher aristocracy and priests,
than any other government upon
earth, not excepting the Portuguese.
A vote of all the people here would
annex the Azores to the United
States by at least nine-tenths MAORI
ty. Same at Lisbon. too, and all
Portugal, as was assured when there
a month in Summer.
"INCENDIARY" DEMOCRACY.
Democracy is the revolutionary
lever at work under the base of
everything in Europe, even in church
and state. Men call it the "incen-
diary demon of the nineteenth cen.
tury." IT'S we'll that we in America
made Democracy a continuous sue
cess, and "incendiary demon" to Eu-
rope by saving our government in
tact in our war with the rebels.
Beaten and divided in America, the
''incendiary demon" would have fall
len and been crippled in Europe for
century longerl Do you see it2
AT Lisbon, in every wine-doggery,
lager beer den, post-office, and other
public places, Old Abe, General
Grant, and the battle of the Kear-
sage and Alabama are prominent
pictures, the admired of al admirers.
The fact has deep meaning. The
mob of this day is to rule the Europe
of perhaps the next decade. The
middle classes are with the mob. SO
too, the young Democracy within
the aristocracy-wheel within the
wheel. Time hies. The old must
"get out of the way of the engine"
THE CLIMATE.
The weather here in December is
Spring-like, gardens abloom. We
never need fire to warm up, but
sometimes the temperature is down
10 IS deg, and then an overcoat is
a comfort. The winter degree is usu-
ally about sixty, and some of the
days are so warm as to grow all vege-
tation. There is eternal sowing and
harvesting here, and the lands pro-
duce two or three crops a year.
tho climate is enervating up
on the animal and the intellectual
man, and one must sleep at mid day.
The women are stouter than the
men, and can carry heavier loads up
on their heads.
SCHOOL FOR AMERICANS.
1t is a grand school here for an
American. tie is bound to learn as
much in year as he could in ten at
home. 1t is training field for the
whole man, spiritual and intellectu-
al. Besides, it takes out his kinks,
and brings down his seIf-importance,
prepares him to Judge the worth of
q man at first sight, off-hand, and
glasses. Men are trained
here from the boy up in the styles of
nobility oflife-trained in etiquette,
in keeping their places, and in the
art of keeping off peoples toes. The
of by-gone days still lives
in great sense-not in taking of
Tense and killing men, but in enforc-
ing strict respect of the rights of
all. The polite apology answers the
place of resort to the sword.

From the Paducah kcntuckian. 18th.
On Tuesday night last Lovclacc-
vile, in Ballard county, was the
scene of a most unexpected and
bloody tragedy, which occurred i'll
the church ut that place. The par
ti:ulars. as we learn them, were
about as follows: a short time since
some notices were posted in conspic-
uous places branding the sister of
Rudolph Us Il woman of bad character.
aud generally dcfaining her. Snspi-
cion pointed to Charles Stringcr as
the author Of these notices, and OIL the
morning of tho tragedy StrinSrr
posted u notice stating that he was
not the author, and that, il she be-
lieved he was. to prosecute him, and
see hos: much she could make out of
it. To this 10 nan,e was signed. In
the meantime John Rudolph and
Sir:nger had not met, but on Tues
day night, Rudolph being in church.
Sirinscr entered, and asked him to
come out. They walked out TO the
entrance, and had some words, the
substance of which no one sceins to
hare understood, when Rudolph,
drawing a s~ix-inch-navy pistol, fired.
The ball entered Stringcr's right
breast, but did not staggcr him,
when Rudolph Immediately fired a
second shot, both taking effect.
stringrr threw his hand up, covering
the wound, and fell dead instantly
upon the steps of the church. The
pistol was 50 close to him that when
It exploded il burnt his clothing.
The greatest CONSERVATION prevailed
for n time in church, as the whole
affair was 80 sudden and unexpected.
Rudolph was arrested, IL now under
guard, and his a will undergo
judicial investigation. From all VIC
can hear it appears that Rudolph was
afraid ofspringer, thinking II was his
intention to do him some bodily
harm. The whole affair was a most
unfortunate one, and none rcyrct ;,s
occurrence more than tho c~itizens al
the usually quiet town Of Lovc,ace.

of some thirty persons, composed OF
negroes and whites, who demanded
that tile prisoner be surrendered to
them. A persuadcr in the shape Ola

to drive through the crowd, when he
put whip to his horses and managed

evade them, his buggy broke down in
its rapid flight over the rough road,
and as quick as possible he unliitched
his horses from the disabled vehicle,
placed his prisoner upon one, and
mounting the other himself, with the
Chain attached TO the sllack!cs of the
