Four of the principal democratic papers of
Oregon have declared against Greeley
s. T. Streeter resigns from the New York
liberal republican committee and will support
Grant.

been organized at Tweed's summer head

Baltimore nominations and announces its pur-
pose to support Grant and Wilson.
A shrewd old farmer was Intercepted the
other day as follows: "what do you think of
this Greeley mstter7" 81 think it is like
young robin, biggest when first hatched."
That's the whole story in an egg-shell.
All the signs in the political heavens indi
cate the waning strength of Mr.. Greeley. The
wave of Democratic feeling that threw him
to the head of the ticket at Baltimore is grad
ually spending its force and leaving him in
the old ship of the Democracy on lee shore
The Philadelphia Press hits the centre of
the target when it says that if all white men
who are the professed friends of the colured
people but comprehended the political situa-
alton as well as do the latter, Greeley stock
would not be worth to-day one cent on
dollar.
A report having been circulated that Gen.
Grant had made bet on the result of the
election gentleman in Milwaukee has OBJ
tanned letter from Gen. Porter denying, by
direction ofihe President, that he ever made
a bet, or authorized any one to do so in his
life, on the result of an election.

The editor of the Gardiner Journal says:
1--WE have no sympathy or patience with any
man-friend or enemy-that wilfulIy maligns
or misrepresents any mans character; and
less If possible with the one who attacks an
other whose position is too high to allow him
to answer such charges. We do not imagine
that general Grant is a tetotaller, nor do we
believe him sot. A writer in democratic
paper insinuates that the President was too
drunk both at Bangor and Vanceboro' las,
October to make decent appearance in the
procession or in other places. We were in
both places, and were very near General
Grant, and do not believe there is the least
ground for the accusation; and we fully agree
with Brother Quinby of the Gospel Banner,
in pronouncing it a base SANDER. The Maine
Standard has done US the honor to sometimes
quote our squibs in favor Of Horace. Will 1t
now be fair, and quote ths?"
