TflE BEST 'EVIDENCE.
The Grant organs who arc constantly
kept on, the defensive in this compaign,
aro endeavoring to ward off public at
tention toward their own candidate in re
spect to ! his' known intemperance, by
nseing same of their "rnre cunning" on
the Liberal tickdt. Some'f their organs,
knowing their inability to bluff down the
facts, havefittempted to ride over them,
by saying, that "Grant though drunk all
the time, will be a. better President than
Greeley, though Bober: . 11118 we quote
from a Massachusetts paper, in Mr. Wil
son's district. Thi.s is their best argument
"on -that line" as far as it goes, hut it
won't go very, far with decent men.—
Another attempt is in charging B. Gratz
Brori-with being "boozy drunk" at .New
Haven, hoping, to ' - put in, iileint" for
time in that Way.
G`rantites„ meet 'all facts presented, by
saying that therMithor is a Greeley man
and they won't believe it, We are intw
prepared ttr give; them evidence as re
gards Mr. Browns' habits, from at Gtent
source of- the most rabid and radical kind,
which is none' other than the Missouri
Democrat, a, red hot Grant 'organ, but
which;unlike the Montrose Republican,
is published at. the home of
_Mr. Brown,
where falsehood would not pay. The
@towing extract is 'taken from quite a
.. , .IVog Nog:, 'placid sketch of Mr. - Brown
pd or. his sacoessful career, and .hie
icknowledged ability both, as a statesman
"and as former editor. of that paper. It
says:
"Gov. Brown is a slight-bnilt, man,
perhays under" the Medium height, with
sanguine complexion, hair Una whiskers
red. Somebody has suggested than his
red hair comes front the Brown
and hii3. brains from the Bledsoes, bat
doubtless admitting , the - red hair to be
naiive Brown, perhaps it is reasonable to
presudt that the brains came from both
sides of the'honse.
He looks like a man 'of-greater mental
energ,y than physical endurance ; bin
doubtiesslie can endure many hardships
which " a more ponderous man would sink
under.' He was still feeble yesterday from
his recent Now -York attack, which he
thought strongly resembled cholera. HE
IS A STRICTLY TESIITZATE SUN."-
Somo people wonder that a "Glass"
concern like that which holds tho Grant
party on this subject, .shotild be throwing
stones. That a party -.,ailed upon to de
fend a notoriously drunken captain in the
U. S. Army; an equally intemperate Ga
lena tanner, a general sa"balliddleir' at
"Pittsburg Landing" that It khould have
dismissedhim in - disgrace from his com
mend, and a President whose habits of
intemperance are so notorious, should
resort tpjfalshood, is perhaps, not strange
or uncommoirnader the circumstances.
They perhaps may think that by force of
their official brigade and their power of
corruption they can force the people. to
accept their refrain, that "Grant though,
drudk all the while, is a - bctter - Pre side
than Greeley, would The though sober,"

that eve, the Republicans (Grant men,)
are entitled to all the honor of preserving
this country, therefore Grant must be
re-elected , President. Radical stump
speakers and Radical organs bare pro
cl.fimed this falsehood so long and loud
that they think the people mast believe
it. We have simply thisto say, that we
are ready to take the records as to the
commanding officers in the Union army,
who are representatives of the Democratic
party, as Compared with thl radical wing.
We are ready to deney such an infamous
elaim,ia the name of the dead and wounded
' of the rank and file, whose blood and
limbs irrigate-and fertilize the same battle
fields and whose bodies lie moldering side
by side in the saute grave yard, both
Democratic and 'Republican, and we
are prepared to hurl-the base slander into
the teeth of any partizan bigot, who is
base enough to utter it.' Wo Repub
licans who stood guard around our
own firesides and cornfields, in the
healthy and safe locality of Montrose and
vicinity, and who cried long and loud for
others to go to save them from draft, be
cause they conld not leave their families,
were just as patriotic as Democrats who
did the sante thing and no more.
Democrats paid their taxes, sentsubsti-
Lutes, paid commutation' money, and
availed themselves of the exemption laws
passed hy a Republican government, as
they had a right .to do, the same as their
more irate Radical neighbors, and no
more.
These base assumptions and ingrate ig
norings of the Democratic soldiery of this
nation, is too thin a veil to cover the in
rarAy or a oorrasrt cn.l witiiaLrlllloll, W1111:11
is being deserted by all the honest men
wbo helped to bring it into existence.
Gtantle Rat Trap
The only hope the Grantites have of
their success this fall, is in fixing rat%raps
to cat,ch Dentocrats in. J. 3'l:Edmunds,
Grant'i Postmaster, at :Washington, •is
engaged in baiting their little trap. The
following ishis precious document,
speaks for itselt,as addressed to a promin
ent Grant Republican
- WASHINGTON, D. C., July 30, 1872.
Dear Sir—Please send the enclosed cir
cular to active Democrats in your dis
trict,who do not support Itr.Gr.deley, and _
will co-operate with the 11 4 onigrillo Coa
l-vention. Send me a list'of tneli men in
each county immediately.
J. M..Enxes - ns, Sen'y.
No doubt, now, that this Louisville
scheme is fostered and patronized by the
Administration. This is the sort of hi:Bi
ntss in which the Washington Postinlstei%
engaged. Instead of attending to his
proper duties, he and his subordinates are
carrying on a partisan- campaign, and,
,says the Washington Pafri*of, may be seen
daily at the Capitol, employed in violating
the law, and appropriating the public
property to political uses.
The Louisville bubble, blown up so, as
siduously by Grant hirelings, every true
Democrat must regard—no matter bow
originally intended--as a barefaced cheat
which deservesdetestation. A vote agninst
Greeley is-a vote for Grant, and the nom
ination of a third - ctindidate means Grant
first, last, and all the time. LA Wise and
Mosby, Longstreet and Duncan support
Grant, if they like him, but no trite and
unselfish Democrat will be caught in their
rat trap.
"Cadwell has been elected Governor
of North Carolina, it is believed, by the
count %f the 'carpet-baggers" instead of
the votes of the people. They learned
from the old New York Ding that voting
has very little to do with electing &candi
date; it is only neceessary to have coin- .
pletejintrot of the machiniry - Of election,
and e counter will neutralize the ballots
‘(:.l' any number of voters. But the party
of "Addition, Division, and Silence" May
find that their doing of the- same haeitil

O ENITLEMIX , ,,OB, , ,ZEIS 101301132131:-I
hive the honor to acknowledge the receipt
of your communitettioniudvising me that
I had been •unanimously nominated as
candidate forthe Passidencv of thc
United. States, at Baltimore. Per this
mark or confidence on the part of so
large a representative body of my fellow
citizens, I cannot too deeply express toy
gratitude. The distinction is one which
I feel to be in a great measure undeserv
ed while so many more suitable could have
teen found, and yet, should your action
I be confirmed, I shall endeavor to discharge
the duties of that high place with fidelity
to your trust, with devotion to the pub
lic interests, and with an inficsible resoin
tion to prove not unworthy of such choice.
The fact that it reposes also upon the
declaration of principles affirmed by the
Liberal. Republicans at Cincinnati, and
proclaimed without amendment by the
'Democratic party at Baltimore, give as
snrance that in the combined expression
there is sought only the deliverance of
the nation from a present great peril to
its place and liberties. To. that end all
minor considerations have been subordin
ated, mid an illustration presented to the
, country of unselfish patriotism rather
than any stickling fur party advantage,
which sliould:convince all of the perfect
sincerity of the ••movement. .It has in-'
volved no surrender on either part of any
former convictions. It Has not been nego
tiated or bargained. Its origin was-from
the people. Though differing in the past
on some issues of great magnitude, yet
now that they are settled, thereis a hearty
6Oricurrenee between, us all upon the vital
questions agitating the public, mind.
What conduct of national of Mralhat in
volves your convention has well set forth
in its platform ; and, its true accord with
the Democratic ideas: that guided oar
earlier administrations, is the best guarao
tY that will restore eqnal-rtgjits, - trampail

prebend that no personal consideration
has. drawn this vast assembly togiither.
Other higher and pander considerations
have collected ,yort around me to-day. It 1
is part of the unwritten • law of our
country that a• candidata for the Presi
dency may not make speeches in vindi- 1
cation and commendation of the princi- :
pies whereupon he is.siipported or Incas
urea
which his election is intended to
promote, although the candidate for the
Vice-Presidency is under no such inlribi- 1
tion. I not merely acquiesce in the re.
• striction, I' recognize and affirm its pro-
priety. Now tenapations to misinterpret
and misrepreseut a candidate far higher
posts is su great, the means of circulating
such perversions among the people who
never see a word of the irrefutation are
so vast, that the candidate has no moral
right to subject his frieuds to the perils

tall in the einivile i 4e:t 'there is a truth to

which resulted in sending delegates to

for -Alec at Inv hands. No one who
favored my nomination before either• Co
n or either Convention has sought
office at my hands, either fur himself or
any one else ; nor has any one' sug,gelited
to me:that I might strengthen myself as
a candidate by promising to appoint any
one to any important office whatever.
lii very few instances, less tliaii a dozen,
J am certain, some of the smallest fry
politicians have since my double nomina
tion hinted to rue by letter that I might
increase my chalices of election by prom
ising Postotlices, or smite such place, to
my volunteer corre'sPSintriits respectively.
I have not nsmilly responded to these
overtures, but I now give general notice,
that should I be elected, I will consider
the claims of these untimely aspirants
after : those of the inure inodnt and re
ticent shall have been fully satisfied.—
[ Applause.]
In two or three instances I have been
asked to say whether I would or wbuld
not, if elected, confine My 'appointments
to Itepubl•emis. I ;answer these by point
ing to the plank in, the Cincinnati • plat-
Iform, wherein all who come on the prin
ciples therein set forth, are cordially in
vited to participate in their estnblisliment
and vindication. I never yet heard of
. a man who invited his neighbors to help
him raise a house, and proceeded to kick
them out iif it as - scieiti o :.as the roof was
r.,;,-1,. ~ .... . Li., 1.....:,..1. . ,
.
For . m own part,a I recu r ,rmize every
honest man who approves and adheres to
the Cincinnati platfo'rin as my political
brother, and as such fully entitled to my
confidence nqd friendly regard. One
other pOiist demands a word. • Those

who nominated inc were, perfectly aware
that I upheld and justified Federal legis
lation to repress the Ku Klux conspiracy
and outrages, though I tiati - long ago in

pressed and punished, but far wiser and 1
nobler is legislation, the policy by which l
they are prevented. From those who
support me in the South I have heard but
one demand, justice; hut one desire, re-,
conciliation. They wish to be heartily I
reunited, and at peace with the North oat l
any terms which do not involve the sur
render of their nianhood. . They ask that
they should be regarded and treated by
any federal authority' as citizens, not
culprits, so long as they obey and uphold
every law
..consistent with equality and
right. They desire a rule which, alike
.fur black and white. shall encourage in

clared, in the form of Federal marines
controlling, at the polls, the free exercise
of suffrage by the citizen.
The maladministration of the affairs of
our own State by its prineiple financial
officer, appear to commend him to the
speeial.favor of the Radical managers by
the attempt to ekvato him to the guber
natorial chair.
We appeal to you. our formercomrades,
in that spirit of patriotism which you
exhibited when the Union was in peril.
For the unity of the nation yon risked
your life. Now, that the loss of liberty is
imminent—now, that the Constitution is
disregarded—now, that the rights of the
States are ruthlessly assailed—we ask you
once more tout forth your hand, and
oxerwhilin enimies of your coun
try.
'With this ciew we earnestly rerinest
that you meet us in the Hall of the.
House of Reresentatices, at Harnsbarg,
on Wednesday, the 28th instant, at 12
o'cleek M., there to organize the Demo
cratic and Liberal Republican Soldiers of
the State.
Please acknowledge receipt of this ;
and should yon be able to attend, report
and re g ister your name and regiment, on
arrival at Harrisburg, to General William
McCandless, at the Bolton House.

nounces there is no longer a reasonable
doubt that Boston will give a large ma
jority for Greeley„ and it will probably
elect two Liberal members of Ccingress.
Besides the Time 4, which is the Greeley
organ, the //credit, which prints more
daily papers than all the other daily jour
nals of the city, and probably circulates
twice as many in the city of Boston as all
..v. , steady
going and influential supporter of the
Liberal reform. It is also worthy of note .
that all the Sunday papers, the Ilerard
the nines, the Courier, the Gazette • and
the Ezpress are supporters of Greeley.
Sumner, Banks and their Liberal sup
porters will shake Grantism to pieces in
the old .Bay State.
- ,',V — Hon. N. P. Banks has cosnsented
to address the merchants of New York
next week, on the;tinancial issues invol
-red in the present election. Ile is master
of his subject, and what he says upon it
will command attention and have great
weight. Some of the Bostonßapers have
just discovered that Mr. Banks is intem
perate and profligate: Three weeks ago
they called him a distinguished statesman
of unimpeachable integrity and an 06-
(pence rarely surpassed. Well, we have
heard of just such miracles before.
— A full and entire union has been
effected between the Democratic and Lib
eral parties of Alabama. That sectiresthe
State for areelcy and Brown beyond all
peradventure. Besides, the renomina
tionists arc split into the Turner and
Healey factions, and the colored men are
not disposed to support Grant with un
broken ranks.
r+ — Six hundred Republicans of Sten
benco, N Y., have signed a call for a
Greeley and Brown •County Convention
for August 20.
The Draukdate Disaster.
By request we publish the f.,llowing
account of the Brookilale flood to correct
some errors which it contained.
Brookdalc is not a village, but. cross
roads, situated on !fanny creek, which is
about six miles in length. There are eight
or ten dwelling year together, Emmons,
Saxon, t Nfandeville's wood acid works,
John T. Owen's blacksmith shop, Rev.
D. D. Lindeley and Albert 3libbell's saw
mill. Daniel Munson's tannery, which
is not out of the neighborhood, is about
a half a mile further down the Big Snake
Creek.
John , T. Owen 's place, the scene of the
fatal accident, is situated on the main road
dp the Big Snake creek, and by the side
of Danny creek. It is . about midway
between the acid svorki, do Benny creek,
and the saw Big Snike creek.
Mr. Oweuls [Amity consisted of himself
"and ti ife, arldslx children
Mitring Friday, Mr. Owen was gone
away 'from home, and very fortunately
four of the children had heen tent to Mrs..
Lindsley's, Mm Owen's mother's, np the
litinny creek.. Only Frances, the eldest;
aged fourteen years, and Johnny, the
youngest,nged nearly three years, remain
ed with their mother. '
The rain, accompanied y some-. liail,

EOD was Csalledfio the Owen house, and
Thomas_Yunibm.anti _bis . son -Charles
Van Loan„Nelson and Spencer Spin: iding,.
went upon the bank, near the housd, to
.communicato with the iumates-aud- ns
seertain if they were in danger. .
Mr. Chalker, 'Who was in the house,
wrote a note, which he threw-ashore in a
bottle,
stating that the current had chang
ed, and was undermining the house, and
unless they could he taken 'oir.at puce
they would tie swept down streaiii with
the house, which was already tipping
Over.. ,
. ,
Communication by letter, in the man
ner in which it. was made, was- necessary,
because the merino of the angry flood
was lounder than trio strongest voice.
The men on shoreliastened to the saw
mill, and soon returned to the bank with
a long cable ohain. A rope was thrown
to Mr. Chalker; with which ho pulled one
end of the chain to the honie, and attach
ed it to platform, intended for the floor
to a piazza in front of the main portion
of the house. The platform was to be
used as a raft, upon which the persons in
the house, or who were at that time stand
ing upon a small plat of dry ground in
front of the house, could be floated ashore.
While these preparations were making,
a small barn above the house, and also
wood-houso addition in rear of the house,
were carried away; then the foundation
in rear of the upright of house.gave way, I
and the main portion of the building was
swept down stream. The piazza platform
in front of the upright, and the kitchen
wing of the house still remained.
The company seated themselves on the
platform, which, it will be understood,
1 was fast to chain, one end of which was
I wound around a tree on the shore, and
' prepared to swing around against the
shore. In a few seconds the platform
floated, brit contrary to expectation, in
swinging around, struck against a small
apple tree, which bad to be bent down to
let it over. The platform, was construct
ed of small scantling sills or sleeperS,
covered inch hoards, imperfectly
fastened_doWn With eight-penny nails. In
going over the tree it was badly racked,
and as it swung into the swifter channel
belowA„went - to pieces, and only a small
portii76, upon which nobody sat, remain
ed attached to the chain. The whole
company were therefore precipitated into
the water, which went rushing along over
its rough' bed with the speed of a train
of care.
When they seated themselves upon the
platform, cords to be hold at one end by
31r. Chalker, were tied, around the waist
of Mrs. Owen and her daughter, asnlire
caution against their tieing separated and
drifting oat of his reach, in case the raft
should break, up. But it appears that
when the moment Came in which their
worst fears were realized, Mr. Chalker
was nuable. to hold fast to the cords, and
they slipped out of his hands. Mrs. Owen,
who held her child in her-arms, let go of
the child in her frantic efforts to grasp
something, and threw both of her arms
around 3lr. Chalker's neck.
The water was so swift that neither
could keep their feet, and both sank un
der the Hood, and 'were rolled along the
bottom for tome distance. Mr. Chalker
Wa3 finally able to loosen Mrs. Owens' hold
around his neck, and place her arms
around his waist, as they rose to the
surface.
When passing Albert 3fitchell's hous,
which was standing partly into the stream
he put one hand upon the siding, but
could not cling to it. About font' rods
below M itchelFs-house, and about thirty
rods from where they were wrecked, they
drilled so near the shore that Nelson
gpan ldi ng, was able to gmsp Mr. Cbalkey'S
hand, and with the aid of the Messrs. Van
Loan and others, pall him and Mrs. Owen
out of the stream.
Joseph Lindsley was polled ont.a fgw
feet further down the stream- by Spencof
Spaulding.
Frances Owen, who was prevented •by
her cloths from sinking, drifted near the,
opposite shore, where Rev. D:11. Lindsley
nod others endeavored to reach her with
a board, but were unsuccessful. She drif
ted down to wherO the main portion of
the Owen house had stock upon another
house owned by a widow; Martha Wash
burn, relic of Oliver Washburn, and was
sucked down ag,ainin. the side of the house
by an undercurrent.
The child, when last seen, was floating
down the stream between the house, where
Frances disappeared, and the shore where
its mother was rescued.
The body of Frances was found on
Saturday morning under a pile of drift
wood four feet deep.
The body was taken into the residence
of Mr. Mitchell, where it was prepared for
burial;
Tho body of the child was fonud on
Sunday last, Ang., 18th by Charles Van
Logan and others a few feet from thel
place. where Frances body was found,
quite deeply buried in the sand. •
