Gems of Untruth from the Democrat.

Rice says: "The Ready-made
Grant Editorial factory at Washing.
ton has come to the relief of the Her.
dld"
Senator Howe would make bet.
ter record as butfoon than he will
as an orator."
"What he lacked in words he made
up in leering at his audience, making
wry faces, pulling his nasal apen-
dage, and twisting his gutta percha
legs"
"From the time it became known
Matt Carpenter was not to speak, all
interest in the meeting was lost, and
it was only by the most terrible ex-
ertions that the crowd could be kept
together" (Some thousands of wit
nesses can prove this falsehood)
Rice also calls the Conatty letters,
(Which are in the well-known hand
writing of Doolittle,) "a very foolish
aad unwarranted lie, fabricated from
the brain of an old Kenosha schools
master, one Conatty."
He also says that one great reason
why the people do not desire Treas
urer McCartney's re- election is be-
cause be deposits the funds for safe
keeping in banks without getting in
terest either for the county or his
own pocket. Hsdn't the poor grum-
bier better ask some man of ordinary
information if our state law permits
such practice2
He says moreover that those who
say no. decent man would take such
paper as his, are "too almighty
stingy to subscribe" and that they
they are "small trifing souls, that
are too picayunlsh to buy paper
yet steal their reading"
The Grant County Democrat being
a rather new paper, and of limited
circulation, we give it free adver-
tisement, TO let HERALD readers see
how man talks when desperate, and
What sort of food some (not alp Gree
ley men live on.

Greeleys Secession Articles.

Since the Greeley papers dare not
deny that the HERALD's late quote
tons are correct and genuine, the
only subterfuge of the desperate Lib
erai leaders is to privately whisper
TO their followers, that these articles
are made up for the occasion mere
lies on dear old Horace, and things
That never appeared in the n. Y Tri-
dune. We are happy to announce to
all our neighbors who thus daily
brand the HERALD with forgery, that
the original copies of the papers in
which Horace Greeley inserted said
editorials, most Of them over his own
name or initials, can be shown them
at the Herald Office or by Col. Clark,
at any time they can muster up cour.
age TO see them. We would really
like our Greeley friends to call and
inspect these records, but it is so sci.
dom that one Of them who has had
the wool completely pulled over his
eyes, will allow it to be removed
that we fear our offer will be unheed.
ed.
Here is another extract from the
Weekly Tribune of May "a, 1862, part
of one Of Greeley's leaders headed
"The Right of Revolution" 1t ar
CUES the right of any part of the I'm
ion to secede, and the duty of the re
mainder TO let them go The posi-
| tion of the benevolent old fool that
thus proves his willingness TO see this
union fall to pieces as a vast land OF
hostile republics warning on each
other for territory, rather than exert
strong central power to preserve
peace and union, is best shown by
quoting his own words:
"Now, should the time ar
rive in our day when the great
body of the People of our Pa
cific States shall say deliber-
ately, kindly, firmly, to those
this side Of the Rocky Noun
tains, "You are stronger than
we--older, more wealthy, more
powerful but we ask you to
let us go; for we believe we
can do better by ourselves than
with you've shall respond,
and urge others to respond,
go in peace, and Heavens
blessing attend you'll" We be-
lieve that is the right, the wise,
the Christian answer to such
a request, and that the world
will yet perceive and recognize
the truth" -GREELEY IN TRI.

STRANGE AND LUCKY CALAMITY. -
On Friday p. M. Aug. 80, "prairie
schooner" or covered wagon, load.
ed with the household goods of Q
family abeying Greeley's advice tc
go west, drove on to the ferry -scow
at Grant River ferry near Kinney E
mill, Potosi. The women and chill
dren were all out of the wagon, wi hen
the mules took fright and there be-
ing no bar to prevent, backed the
wagon and themselves off into IL
feet of water. Half an hour later, as
Mr.. II. Buchner came along, he
found the team, wagon, goods, &c,
all safely drying on the bank. How
those mules turned their load around
and reached the steep bank they
had just left, is question we refer
to the mules themselves. And we
have only hearsay evidence as to
the depth of the water. The mules
got their load to the bank where
the wheels stuck in the mud; so
they were taken off in the water.
Then the box and its load was float
ed off the wagon-gear, and they we're
separately dragged up the bank.
Nothing was lost but time, and the
prairie schooner safely rode the
waves and ploughed the main. Had
the river borne any other name but
that OF Grant, the result might have
been different. The team came ont
with honor to their despised race
which cannot be said of any other
mulish individual that has ever
pitched into Grant" from the SEN
ator down to the poet "that carries

HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an inquiry which every one should
have trulhfully answered before he start. on
his journey, and little care taken in exam-
nation of routes will in many cases save much
trouble, time and money.
The Burlington Routev has achieved a
splendid reputation in the last two years as
the leading Passenger Route to the west.
Starting at Burlington it runs direct through
Southern Iowa TO Nebraska and Kansas, with
close connections TO California and the Terri
tories; and passengers starting from Lancas-
ter, on their way westward cannot do better
than TO take the C. B. s. Q. and Burlington
Route.
This line has published a pamphlet called
"How to go West" which contains much val
liable information a large correct map of the
Great West, which can be obtained free of
charge by addressing the General Passenger

Barber Renominated for Congress

The Republican Congressional Con-
vention held at DOdgeville on We'd
nesday last renominated Hon. J. AL
len Barber for Congress by acclama-
ton. The Convention has thus WISE
ly acted upon the opinion of many
Republicans throughout the district
that Mr.. Barber's long faithfulness
to party and his earnest efforts for
the best interests of the State deserve
for him a hearty endorsement for
an other term in Congress The peo-
pie of Grant County will take espec-
ial pride in again supporting for the
office one Of her oldest and most hon.
ored citizens. Mr.. Barber's re-elec-
ton in November may be counted
upon as certain with a good round
majority.
The vote of the several counties
now composing this (Third) District
shows republican majorities in past
years as follows:
ls69-Governor, 1891 majority.
ls70-Congress, 1885 6
lS7l-Governor, 1862
With the full vote that the presi-
Dental contest will call out we may
safely estimate the November resul t
at $500 majority for Congressman
Barber.
The reported proceedings of the
Convention are not received in time
