The Republican organization there
in exact juxtaposition with Tam
many, for Dix was as honest and
earnest last year in his war upon
the ring thieves as he was patriotic
and outspoken during the rebellion.
The convention acted wisely, too, in
placing Frederick Douglas upon the
electoral ticket, aud in minatlng
Gen. John G. Robinson for Lieuten-
ant Governor. Both are old vete-
rams in the ranks of freedom and
Republicanism-the first as a civil
ian, and the second as a soldier, and
both equally effective.
Missouri thinks she is misunder-
stood in regard to the fight this
year, and furnishes statistics show
ing why she ought to be included
in the Republican column. In the
fall of 1870 it appears forty-three
Republican papers advocated the
election of Brown; now forty two
are supporting Grant and Wilson,
and only one, the Westliche Post,
Shurz's paper, stands recreant. The
so-called Liberals of this State at
present do not amount to one per
cent. of the party. The Republican
party is more firmly united this day
in Missouri than it has been for
twelve years, They expect to bury
the Democrats beneath a majority
of twenty thousand in the coming
fight. This is certainly encourage
ing and deserves to be put on
record.
GooD AUTHoRITY.-The Boston
Pilot-whieh ought to be good au-
thority with all Catholics-has been
investigating the charge of Know
Nothingism which has been prefer
red against Henry Wilson, the Re-
publican candidate for Vice Presi-
dent. The editor has been able to
find nothing to justify the accuse.
ton, except the fact that Mr.. Will
son received few votes for Gov
ernor in the Know-Nothing conYen-
ton, and declined the nomination.
The Pilot arrives at this conclusion i:
off Mr.. Wilson uttered these
things in 1854, the Pilot did not say
word about it, which surprises US.
We are, therefore, inclined to be-
ieve, whether Mr.. Henry Wilson
was q Know-Nothing or not, that
these alleged quotations are manu-
featured as campaign documents,
and unusually dirty campaign doc
uments, at that"
Won't GET INTO THE FIRE.-The
New York Nation, one of the orig
inal advocates of the Cincinnati
movement, but which bolted the
OVERWHELMINGLY nomination, has
been engaged in a little fracus with
the World, and in the course of its
remarks as concerning the present
situation of the body polite, says
GAS regards ourselves, we assure
the World that nothing will induce
US to jump out of the frying pan
into the fire, but we are satisfied
that we can make it at least tolera-
BILE till 1876, while the fire would
finish us at once; and no declama-
ton about the beauty of fire, or its
value on cold nights to the widow
and orphan, or its usefulness to the
hardy blacksmith. or the service it
renders i'll producing popcorn or
roasting chestnuts, will tempt us to
try it."
CHANGE OF SENTIMENTAL special
to the Inter-Ocean from New York
says letters from all parts of the
State received at Republican head
quarters indicate a decided change
of sentiment in the last few days,
and a rapid decline of Greeley
stock. The State ticket, with Gen.
Dix at its head, steadily gains in
favor, and is warmly approved
everywhere. A large number of
Republican clubs have been organ
lied within the past ten days, both
in that city and in the rural districts.
At mass meeting of the Ger
man Republicans, on the 10th inst,
in San Francisco, for the purpose of
organizing Grant and Wilson club
of German Republicans, the roll
exhibits the names of seven hun
dred and eighty Germans pledged
for Grant and Wilson. How is that
for a unanimous German desertion
to the Dolly Vardens?
The statement that the members
of the Civil Service Commission
are now receiving $50 a day for
their services, is manufactured for
the campaign. Thus far, for all ex-
penses, the Civil Service original
appropriation of $4,000 has not
been used, and part of it has been
returned to the Treasury, while no
part of the last appropriation of
$50, 600 has been touched.
