cREEnEr AND BROWN.

From papers published in the leading
and most important towns in the vicin-
ity of Memphis, and which have great
influence in their local affairs, we make
extracts from which twill be seen that,
as strong as words can express, they
are for the Cincinnati nominees, and
urge upon the National Democracy the
Importance ofletting well enough alone.
The Upton Record speaks out plain
ly. In the last number we find the fol-
lowing in reference to the nomination
of Greeley and Brown:
If fusion can be effected between the
Northern Democracy and the Liberal
Republicans who are opposed to Grant
and his army of cOr~ruptionists, and unite
upon Greeley and Brown, there is but
little doubt that the ticket will triumph.
The Southern Democrats viii, without
doubt, fall promptly into line. They
have felt enough Of Grantism, in its tyr
amy, to welcome almost any change in
the administration of the government.
We think the best way 10 effect a fusion
Of all the elements opposed to Grant is.
for the Democrats TO stand alOOf from
the contest, let the war rage between the
cOntending elements of the Republican
party, and east the entire Democratic
vote for Greeley and Brown. The signs
of the times indicate that this will be
done.
The Ripley Weekly Nctcs hoists the
names Of Greeley and Brown, andunder
the heading, "the Peoples Ticket" in
dorses the platform and concludes:
It seems to "a that under the circum-
stances w the holding of a National
Democratic Convention is unnecessary.
Certainly the nomination Of candidates
would be perilous to the peace of the
country, and would insure the defeat of
any movement toward government re-
form. No n not crazed by a desire to
obtain Office, nor n~reasOnably concern
ed as 10 the name inscribed upon the
banner under which he fights for a good
cause, can fail TO see and acknowledge
that a Democratic nomination would be
equivalent TO Grants reelection. Con-
sequently, we would count but little on
the patriotism of any intelligent MEM
Der Of the Democratic party who would
counsel snch a course.
The Jackson PydindedLer, always. true
to its name, deals in no uncertain terms
with the Greeley and Brown ticket. In
its last issue it has this paragraph:
We are informed Pm what we deem
reliable evidence that the convention at
Nashville yesterday nominated John G.
Brown by reclamation, and Endorsed
the Cincinnati nominations. Thus il
goes; and we predict that the people of
the United States will indOrse the Lib
eral movement. The feeling of the
people gave birth TO this movement.
There is an earnest desire to get rid of
the wal politics which no set or class Of
politicians "a control; and the less
manipulation by party leaders, the bet
ter 1t will be for the whole country.
The Bolivar Bulletin reviews the
movement, endorses it and the ticket
and the editorials Of the APPEAL and
