GA-oo'Oihoa II avn II. Sisiih. i'll
ways prominent Republican, has sign
ed a call for Greeley and Brown meet
ing at Canandaigua, New York.
The Davenport (Iowa) Democrat
says the German vote there will be a
unit against corruption and centraliza-
lion, and questions if hundred votes
viii be polled by the Teutonic element
in ali Iowa for the gift taker.
The Srownstown (Tndiana) Banner
says: "It is estimated that there are at
least three hundred Liberal Republicans
in Jackson county who ale uncondi.
tionally committed to Greeley and
Brown. Nearly all of them will vote
the Democratic State and county ticket.
The work goes bravely on.p
The Chicago News says !: "Never be.
fore has there been known such gem
eral turning of political fronts as now.
Thousands upon thousands of Repub-
licans who voted for Grant are now ar
raging themselves on the side Of Gree
ley and Brown. This is not the case in
isolated States, but it is general"
The Indianapolis Sentinel says that
while Governor Of Indiana, Senator
Morton was in the habit of drawing ON
the public treasury to pay for the feed
of his horses and COW. He made the
State literally support him and pay a
salary besides. Does the reader won.
der now that be is a strong Grant man
Says the Boston Courier: "a Long
Branch correspondent informs an ad
miring public that General Grants
turnout, presented to him by Tom
Murphy and others, excited considers
BILE attention. His other turnout, to
be presented to him next fall by the
Liberal Republicans and others, will ex.
cite more"
Another important accession to the
Democratic Republican ticket is announ-
ced. The Brooklyn IN. Y. Daily
Times, next to the Eagle, the most in
fuential paper in Brooklyn, hoists the
Greeley flag. The Times is edited by
the Hon. George C. Bennett, Republi-
can member, of the last Ass embly from
Kings county. ~.
The Troy IN Y. Press, in reply to
the statement that there are only twen.
ty-ssven Greeley men in Rensselaer,,
states that ninety six names have al.
ready been enrolled by the Reform
Club, among whom are many we'll
known Republicans and that the lead.
ers Of the club are confident of swell.
ing its numbers to FIVE hundred, secur-
ing all from the Republicans Of the city.
Another recruit, a colored man, wri,
ting to the Savannah Republican, from
Bloomfield, KY, says: II write to say
that I am q Greeley man from the graf,
itude of my heart for his life of labor
spent in behalf of my race. Send me
some campaign documents, and shall
work for Greeley and Brown-if have
to beg my bread and walk from town te
town to speak"
General Cassius NJ. Clay puts tlre
case strongly, and pungently when he
says in his letter to the people: ITO
day we live under a despotism impelled
by the lowest instincts, tastes, and self
indulgence, which, unlike European aris
tocracies, shares nothing with the peo'
pie, but absorbs all their substance fol
camp followers, who are equally cor.
rupt and vicious" Such is the deliber
ate opinion OF. the Grant domination
held by lifelong Republican.
The Liberal Republican club Of this
city, says the Richmond Enquirer, il
constantly. increasing its membership
and now has enrolled six hundred, in
cluding very large. number of colored
men, who have solemnly subscribed tc
its constitution and bylaws, and de-
clared for Greeley and Brown. A Lib
eral Republican club, organized in Jack
son ward, has already attained a mem
bership of one hundred and fifty, ant
has fine prospects ahead.
The Watchsnan and Reflector, tn,
leading Baptist weekly in The country
thinks it is a noteworthy fact, in thes,
days of personal abuse, that up to thi'
time no one, friend or enemy, has &C
cused Horace Greeley of dishonesty o.
immortality of any kind; but, on thu
contrary, all parties unite in admitting
his integrity, fearless advocacy of hu
man rights, temperance, law and order
and his, deep.seated desire to do good
to all. Is Tot such candidate an anon
aly ?"
Again, from Elizabeth, New Jersey
we receive the following: "We hay'
opened the campaign under the mos
encouraging auspices. At the yer,
first, without any special effcrt we Sc
cured fifty old line anti-s.ayery Repub
licans, who are all enthusiastic fo
Greeley and Brown. The Grant mel
in our vicinity feel very blue. Please
send me FIVE hundred copies of Sum
ner's speech it is a telling document
I expect to take an active part in tn
canvass.' The writer of the above was
until recently, Radical Republican.
A gentleman at Eaton, Ohio, unde
date of July 18th, writes as follows
l"The nomination of Greeley in all thi
region is received with an enthusiast
that is beyond expectation. There ]
gloom over the countenances of th
friends of 'the man at Long Branch
that is, indeed, sad to look at. Sever;
persons said to me that 1t was all da
with Grant, and that there was no VI
in fighting against Greeley, as he is cel
tain to be elected"
A gold headed ebony walking cap
was voted for at a Roman Catholic fa
iI Minnesota recently. Horace Gree
] ley and General Grant were named o
the principal competitors, and. th
friends OF each rallied in FORGE to, 81
cure the testimonial. The friends G
Mr.. Greeley, however, we're successful
and the cane, suitably inscribed, will b
presented to him before his election.
This does not look as if the CATHOLIC
of the Northwest were antagonistlc t
Mr.. Greeley.
