Somebody has circulated the report that

said that he was going to vote for Hines for

point, and resulted in an editorial in which
he declares: In 1872 we voted for Horace
Greedy for president because, and only be-
cause, he was the nominee Of the democratic
party. Mr.. Greeley was then over 20 years
old, and never had done one single thing in
all his life to endear himself to the de-
mocIaey, or the south, until year OF so be-
fore. He had spent all the energies OF his
long life fighting democracy and traducing
the south; but after the war he had gone on
the bond OF Jeff Davis and advocated general
amnesty for all rebels. For this one act of
charity to the south the democratic party
nominated him for the presidency And be-
cause they did we voted for him. We have
voted for the democratic nominee ever since
and for years before. We are too old TO bolt
the nominee of democracy's choice whoever
he may be-even If he is not our individual
choice"
