Greeley Republicans for Garfield


Thousands of republicans who followed
Greeley when he was candidate for
President. and have been wandering in
strange and devious ways since they COM
mitted that mistake ARE returning for good
to the republican fold in this campaign.
One of these is Mr.. Blair of Michigan. the
war governor of that State. Henow comes
out for General Garfield, and gives his
reasons in very lucid manner. He says
81 prefer Gen. Garfield, in the fl st place.
because l know he is true and tried
statesman, and know what his policy is
Ioppose General Hancock because don t
know what he would do; but looking at
the platform OF his party, am satisfied if
he attempted to do what I want done he
will have his party about him and will not
be able to accomplish it. Because pre-
fer the position of the republican party to
the position of the democratic party. and
because prefer General Garfield to Gen
eral Hancock, mean to vote for Garfield
and give my voice and whatever can do
to assist him in this campaign. l think it
will be best for the interests of my
country. best for the interests of all con-
cernedn
Mr.. Blair gives good reasons for re-
turning, and acts wisely to plant himself
in the republican party again. Let others
who wandered away as he did follow his
example and they will never regret it.

The Demonstrated, South,

The Demonstrated" South.
A gentleman, formerly resident of Ken
nebec county, has son who is travelling in
the section of country designated in the
article below. This son has sent the follow
ing communication to the Catskill Examiner,
N. Y, in which it is published. 1t is an evil
dence of the bitter feeling which exists in
the States that attempted to secede from the
Union, and clearly shows what lamentable
consequences would follow to the country
should the Confederate South get control
Of the government.
Editor Examiner Il have had the pleas
ure of travelling through ''South Missouri, "
(sOuth of the line from Kansas CITY to ST.
Louis. and feel it my duty to the Union to
state to all Northern men-of all parties
the existing feeling among the democratic
element In that part Of the State, and also
in Northwestern Arkansas.
The clause, in dispute, of Wade Hampton's
speech, tells it all. Their ideas are the
same as his, and they are not backward in
expressing such thoughts. There is already
too much of the Lee and Jackson feeling in
this mild corner of the tSOlid South" for any
man who has the least drop of loyal blood to
give them his vote. One man remarked to
me day or two ago,-"They don't under
stand us in the North; we are not so bad as
they think u.s." Ard later in the day the
same man said: ''They never have had their
safes broken open and the coin divided as
spoils, or their property destroyed; but when
zee get into power those things will be re
stored to us at any cost" This is the way all
Southern democrats-that have seen-feel,
and such expressions can be heard almost
any moment of the day on the streets. Just
so long as Southern democrats have this dis
loyal feeling to.the Enion-"Their rights at
any cost"-just so long should the democratic
party be where it has been for the last twen-
ty years. If the Northern republicans
should send four orators to every democratic
MissOurian, not one vote would be gained
They hate the North, and especially Northern
republicans. used to think the South was
kept down too much; but mingling with
them, have done as Nearer did,-changed
my mind, and so would nine-tenths of north
ern democrats, and perhaps some copper
heads, if they could but come in contact " it'll
them. Let every Northern man vote for the
now prosperous CEion.

Our Candidate for Judge of Pm
bate.

To the Republicans of Kennebec -
At the regular Republican Conveutio, 6.
the County of Kennebec, held after , g,
discussion of several weeks, of the me,;,.
Candidates, and a fair contest in which N
interests were represented, Leroy 7. Carl.
ton, of Winthrop, was nominated for ,Iud,.
of Probate, on the first ballot. Sincs ,h..
friends of other Candidates have been .u
ployed in circulating reports detrimental, :.
Mr.. Carleton, and advising the substitu,;o,
of another name for his on the County ticks,
The undersigned desire to place before ror
the reasons which should govern your actio,
at this time.
First.-We have carefully examined III.
charges against Mr.. Carleton, and find ,h,
they are greatly exaggerated. and conepas
that there is no reason to doubt that VA
Carleton will be an efficient and uprict,
official. He was soldier in the Union army
where he served well, three years.
Second.-It is plain to us, and to all re,.
sonable men, that either Mr.. Carleton a
loyal and earnest Republican, or Mr.. Bean,
a Democrat, must be elected and that
therefore the running of third candidate i
simply in the interest of the Democrats
party, aud not in good faith, or with the ex.
pectation of electing any other man.
Third.-The duty of Republicans under
these circumstances, seems to be clear
Judge Baker is not a candidate for the Office
by his own choice, or by any acknowledged
form. lie cannot be elected. and some Of
the men who are using his name, openly
confess that it is for the purpose of eectng
Mr.. Bean. Every Republican should there.
fore vote for the regular Nominee.

connected with the Committee to
Investigate the State Steal and
other Frauds of the GarcelOn
Administration.
Eben F. Pillsbury undertook the task
last evening of defending the Garcelonian
fraud perpetrated last winter. Here, at
the Capital of the State, where that great
crime against the rights of the people was
committed, it is useless for any man to
talk in defence Of the State Steal. and
especially EBEN F. PILLSBURY. the
arch conspirator in the flagitious scheme.
The minority report of the Hale Commit
tee, made and signed by two honest DEM
ocrats. after weeks of patient investiga-
ton of all the facts connected with that
outrage, has more weight with the public
than all the lying pleas which regiments
of Pillsburys can utter. To refresh the
recollections of our readers we reproduce
that report in our columns in type that
can be easily read. No democrat has ever
undertaken to answer or impeach it. nor
have the authors been accused of being

Collapse of the Greenback Party
in Vermont.

The greenback party in Vermont has
made Its last struggle. The democratic
party has swallowed it, The total green
back vote in the State this year is but little
more than one thousand. The election OF
Gen. Grout by plurality of 5000 in the
Third Congressional District. where he
was two years ago defeated by plurality
of 1000, is striking example of the
utter collapse of greenback sentiment in
Vermont.

A Clean Sweep.

The most striking demonstration of the
clean sweep which the republicans have
made in Vermont is to be found in the
fact that the State Senate is unanimously

but IA democrats and greenbacker. In

democrats. 9 greenbackers. and indie
pendents. Maine is following in the same
