Greely as a Prophet.

Before Horace Greely was poisoned
to death by contact with that "putrid
reminiscence" the Democratic party,
he said
Il am cctfdant that two-thirds of
the men with nine-tenths of the women,
who formerly composed the slave hold
ing caste, would this day (June Is.
1e7D give half their houses and lands
to have their slaves back again,
just as they possessed them in
1850. They consider themselves rob
bed by emancipation, and would like
their property back again, or its value
in some equivalent. x
They propose to renew the fight but
not with gun and sabre. They expect
to gain as Democrats, through the
elections, the power they lost as rebels
through the war They haze "renew-
ed the 6ght' and carried Ohio New
York and Wisconsin, There is no ais
guising the fact nor blinking the issue.
They expect to gain, as Democrats,
through the elections, what they lost
as rebels through the war Those
who are gulted into the support of the
party by side issues who march in
squads under banners with ''Reform'
or any other strange device inscribed
thereon, are recruiting the Democratic
army for this fight. The timid will de-
ny it, bat this is what it means. The
old rebel States are plastered over with
claims that they dare not now present,
but le. Demo rats get in power and
the avenues to the public treasury

cants holding claims for damages in

This is 10 matter of idle speculation.

One of the most hopeful signs of
tie tines is the outspoken, fear
less condemnatio of the political
corruption that has been developed
by the investigating committees of
Congress, blythe Republican press.
1t shows a determination to weed
out the corruptionists and to purge
the party of dishonesty. No Re-
publican shown upon eviderce TO
be guilty Of speculation, fraud, or
otker disreputable act, has escaped
the most emphatic sensure from

is the strength OF the Republican

punish dishonesty and to expose
fraud, it will have the support OF

this it will be pushed aside. That
