A REASON FOR REJECTING BR1sT0W.

a AEApUN 1N1k 0ElLE44NU 6H4o4U".
The Third Ward Republican Club met Sat-
urtlay ovoning to compare notes and talk
ovor Gubsrnatorih and Presidential canai-
dates. Among other speakers
Mt. c. GnEEkEr asked permission Of tho Chntr
to say few words. Permission was readily gFant-
cd, and Mr.. GnEELHr n7alo qults an extended
speech, in which ho exalted the na.us Of Mr..
blaine as candidate fur tho Presidency. Mr.
n1AtSu and tho speaker had had thu pleasure Of
being scasick together, and ho offered this fact ~
proof that Mr.. DLA1NE had cxp16cd his true In.
Hnrsncss for tho osators acquaintance, ~ he WIS
positive there nothing TINT would cause sncn to
embrace each other 81 much sepAtckncas. Mr.
blaine had elevated himself from poor boy to
millionaire, md bo thought ho deserved somo
credit for this, especially ho had never been &C.
cusca OF Dishonesty. 1ie had tho greatest respect
for l'a1sTow, but his birth aud education in Kon.
lucky maac'tt dangcrousto take Him Up. His cleo
tton would be d step toward pcns!onlng the Nahel
sollerB, etc, md tho power Of the party to elect
him WA doubtful, for In attempting to carry him
The party uou.d hats TO Jagh! fAs tntirx IVAhly
Etng NJ tbs country Ho coscsl by paaaIng glow
Icy sulogy mpon Str. nLA1NE, calling HIN tho LIN.
COLIN Of to-day. and the only representative man In
tue country who dared 10 stand up and put bis heel
upon tho Rebel splrt Of the sout!,.
This Inst Is a little rough on Monros and
CosK1Ao, who havo dono lttlo else aince tho
close OF tito War except "to put their heels
on the Rebel spirit Of tho South"
But II 1t was Mr. GREELxY's purposo to
damage Mr. B1A1NR by indirection, and COM
mend aIr. Ba1srow by infamous assaulta re-
yealing their own naturs, hr GnrE1.Er was
eninently successful. But Il he was sincers
in what LIE said, ho did not reflect my credit
On himself nor do lis faYorite candidate any
good. In saying TINT "it is doubtful whether
tho Republicans can elect Da1srow, because
the parity will have to fight the entire Whisky
Ring Of tha country" ho struck b1r. BLAINE
hard blow, for Ills language. il it III ans
anything, noans that hi. BLAINE would DO o
fsvorito candidate with tho Whisky Ring,
and that I'n1srow wouldn't. There
could acarcoly DO better argument
for BntsTow over BLAINE, though, Of
courso, thu latter onght not to bo
held responsible for tho utterances Of mon
who confess readiness 10 quail before the
whisky thioyos. This hr. GREELEY also
nado tho unwarrnnted and scurri1oua char no
that the election OF DR1srow would be
q atop toward ponsioning tho Rebel SOL
diers, though Dn1sTow to-day carries wounds
received on tho battlefield inopposing theue
Rebel soldiors, which Is botter evidence Of
patriotism and loyalty than blaine can boast
Of, md pro bably more tlan this GREELEY
can show, whose Chief objection to DR1s~
TOW seems to be because ho was "born and
educated in Kentucky" though LINCOLN waa
likewise born in that State, and Da1s1ow,
~ matter of fact, was educated In Penn
sylvanIa, and has been radical, reliable
Union Republican since 1860, and was all
anti~s1ayory man before thcn.
Thia little club speech OF 'Mr. GREELEY re-
alizes our fears OF general assault all along
the line by tito Democrats in case Dn1sTow is
thrown overheard at Cincinnati. It will DO
charged during tho entire campaign that
