OUR LEADERS.
The Tribune, after giving a list of former
Republicans who now support Greeley, says :
"The people are asked to believo all these
men traitors to Republicanism of which they
have been propheis,and to the Republicanparty
which they founded and led. Tney are askew
to accept instead of these traitors, as.the only
true men now, and the rightful Republican
leaders, Roscoe Crinkling, Simon Cameron, 0.
P. Morton, Zechariah Chandler, and Matthew
H. Cal pouter."
We will examine into the history of a few
samples of the men the Tribune hoe put up to
lead ns out of the Republican party. There
is Charles Sumner, the great hater, who was
not appointed Secretary of State, end for this
reason did everything in his power to clog the
wheels of the State Department and render
our Foreign policy a failure. Nathaniel P.
Banks, one of the greatest failures of the war.
William Sprague, who was a Johnson man.
John Rieman, who has not had the confl
denceof Chester county Republicans for moray
years; a Forney Democrat, and now under
ball for assaulting a colored servant with a
knife—of course he's for Greeley and Rebel
restoration. Salmon P. Chase, who died a
political death six years ago when he arrayed
himself with Andrew Johnson against the Re
publican party—a man who was a candidate
before the Democratic National Convention
in 1808, and whom the Tribune has de.
nounced for his apostacy time and again. Is
he the kind of man to telt us when it is lime
to leave the Republican party ? If he is, why
did not the Tribune discover it in 1800 and fol
low him out of the party then ?
The Tribune also says that of the four sur
viving members of Abraham Lincoln's Cabi
net, three ardently support the Liberal cause.
If this is a reason for leaving the Republican
party now, why was it not a reason for us
and the Tribune and all other Republicans to
follow Andrew Johnson in 1860? Who are
these three? Secretary Welles deserted the
Republican ranks then and it is but natura 1
that he should still be in the Democratic, alias
Liberal party ; Postmaster General Blair was
a Johnson man in 18110, a full-blown Demo
crat since and a Liberal now ; Secretary of
the Treasury Chase was a Johnson man in
1800, has since been a Democrat, has gone
back completely on the negroes, and is a Lib
eral to-day.
To these apostates, who are governed by
selfish political desires, we prefer the principles
of the grand old Republican party, that has
made a noble record In Its past history and is
the only party to-day that can be entrusted
with steering the Ship of state safety
through the perils that loom up in the future.
While we regret that old leaders, revere d fbr
their services, have turned traitors in their
old age, we rejoice that we still have able
leaders at our head to carry out the principles
of the rank and file of the party, that noble
element which furnished the men and the
means to proseciite the war for the Union's
salvation. Ex Vice President Hamlin's name
reminds us of the successful battle of 1860 ;
Speaker Blaine is an honest and able man ;
tho next Vico President, Henry 'Wilson, is a
man we revere; Wm. Lloyd Garrison, Wen
dell Phillips, Frederick Douglass, Gerritt
Smith, Henry Ward Beecher are names that
connect us with the old anti slavery era;
Henry L. Dawes has heretofore been consid
ered by Greeley an able and patriotic man ;
Hoar is another gentleman who stands
high In Massachusetts politics; George S.
13outwell, Alexander Rice, George V. Loring
vnd hosts of others in that State, any one of
whom are equal to Banks in ability and su.
• erior in morality, can load the masses there ;
.lorrill, Edmunds, and their co laborers can
earry,us safely through in Vermont; Straw,
Vadleigh and others in New Hampshire ;

Jorgan, Conkling, Clews, Sigel, Griswold,

"enton sound the key note in New York ; in

The people have plenty of leaders and no fears
need be felt that they who steered the Ship
State safely through the storms of Rebellion
will not be able to successfully cope with their
wily foe, whose candidate is a deserter from
the Republican party and who is a loyal man
when he talks to the Republicans of Maim•
and a rebel when he addresse's the KmKlux
of North Carolina.
HAINES ON THE RAMPAGE
Brother Haines is again troubled In the
spirit. He does not like the nomination of the
gallant soldier Gen. Hartranft. Having re
ceived the unanimous endorsement of all the
Democrats of both branches of our State Leg
islature in three Raparatc and distinct voles
only a few weeks before the General's noun.
nation, Haines finds it up-hill work to make
anybody believe his cock and bull stories
about dishonesty and corruption. Any other
candidate would hive answered his purpose
better. He is mad because 0 , n. Ketcham was
not nominated, for no one knows better than
Haines that those three separate distinct and
unanimous Democratic endorsements, where
by Gen. Hart Milt was acquitted of all com
plicity with the Evans affair, appointed to
take charge of the conunon wealth's suit a2ainst
Evans—and elected to the office of Auditor
General for alto' her year, are hard lams to
get over. We do not wonder, Mother Raines,
that you are mad and blame some one for
getting you In this tight place. If Gen. Hart
ranft had not proved himself a worthy, cepa
tile and faithful ofticial why, Brother Haines,
did you Democrats in bath branches of the
Legislature unanimously elect him for another
year ? Frankly, IlaineS, you never, had the
lines drawn on you as tight as they sic this
fall, did you ? If It had not been for . those
"three stupid endorsements" appointing him
to high stations of trust and responsibil ty,
where sterling integrity, and great executive
ability were required, you might have hum..
bugged a few old women into the belief that
I Gen. Hurtranft is not honest. But as it is,
now, you can nut (11 even that.
The Cameron dodge will. not work either,
Brother Haines. Gen. Cameron took no part
whatever in the nomination for Governor.
Re was not even at the Harrisburg Conven.
Lion. We know whereof we affirm, for the
delegation from Lehigh called at his residence
to pay their respects to him, but found that
lie was In Washington, detained there by
pressing official duties, and were informed that
it was doubtful if he would be able to attend
the Convention. It is really ton bail that you
do not likn the nomination of Gen. Hart ranft,
hut if you did like it that fact would not re.
commend hint to us. So we do not see how
we can comfort you any in your trouble, nor
can we change the fact that you were opposed
to the nomination of Buckalew, and wanted
Cass nominated. You were right, Brother
Haines, in opposing Buckalew's nomination.
Be is a dead weight. Even tin few Liberals
to he found here and there in Pennsylvap in
will nearly all refuse to vote him. The sob
dier will not touch him, except here and there
an office-holder, a pap•sucker from the Dem
ocratic crib—or one who is red hot with an
xiety to becom: one. After the October (ace

is that they sound as though they were all

dated at Wilkes. Barer, who also has some
thing to say upon the political situati,n, gte

This estimate is no more reliable than' the let

uo attention. The inost bore laced misrepre

ably reduced. Ile is sure of hands ace eithis

Bucks and Luzerne. In the latter county, in
conversation with a delegate to the State
Convention, we learned that he (the delegate)
would not vote for Hartranft, "but" he said,
"Hartranft will bu elected by a large majority.
In this vicinity I notice large numbers of min.
ere, former Democrats, are going to vote for
him." The motive which guides Forney is
now pretty well understood and his opposi.

of the Bepublicauparty. Ile stayed in the
Democratic party in 1860 for the purpose of
defeating It, but the game will not work on
our side.
A DEmocitATic {'OTI•
Those Democrats who refuse to vote for
Greeley are assured, by their leaders, that a
vote for the Democratic Electors for this State
nominated at Reading, will not be a vote for'
Greeley, and we already hear of one Demo
crat who refuses to vote for the Sage but has
concluded to vote for the 'Electoral Ticket.
The Liberals understand that. the Electors
nominated at Reading, if domed, will cast
their votes for Greely in the Electoral College.
If they no not, the Liberals will be the victims
of the grossest treachery, and if they do, the
anti• Greeley Democrats will be outrageously
deceived. These unprincipled Democratic
leaders must be taught that they can't carry
water On both on both shoulders. Lot it be
distinctly understood-which class is to lie lin
posed upon—the Liberals or the Straight-out
Democrats.
ONE of the leading papers of • Pennsylvanis
has made the charge that Bucksiew would to,

of his opium eating, which he tins been com

THE LEHIGH REGISTER, ALLENTOWN, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21. 1872.
THE .LIBERAL RECRUITS
The Liberal recruits have been furnished
from two classes; the first, those that have
been In office and were turned out because of
dishonesty orincompetency ; the second, those
who wanted °Mee and failed to get It. Nearly
every leading Liberal Republican comes with
in these two classes. The head monks—
Greeley, Fenton, Trumbull and ochurz—
started the movement, and have been from
the first recruiting among•those that were In
and were turned out, and those that were out
and couldn't get In. These recruits have been
active in charging the Administration with
increasing the number of offices, so as to give
places to the servants of the party. As usual,
they fail to furnish proof, but content them
selves with loudly asserting the charge. Near
ly every department of the Government shows
a large reduction of force under General Grant.
Only in those branches where the growing
business of the country demands an increase
of force has any taken place. The War De
partment, the Navy D .partment, the Treas
ury, have all been largely reduced in clerical
ioree. To show the reduction that has taken
piace in the internal revenue service alone we

Everybody conversant with the manage
ment of the machinery of politics knows that
there are no more efficient emissaries hr such
It purpose than these numerous, active, and
locally influential men in the etripiny of the
Government. Yet here we see a President—
charged, it must be remembered, with a de
termination to perpetuate himself by means
of the aloe holders—deliberately cutting off
the heads or 2,243 in one bureau alone.
Does this look as if General Grant had in
creased the number or oilices to" give his
friends. positions of influence? On the con
trary, does it not 5110 w a desire on his part to
reduce the expenses of the Government by
cutting every public office that can be dis
pensed with?
The few sore-headed recruits.that have gone
over to Greeley may hope to find advancement
under his colors. but they will get tired wait
ing for " the happy hour to come." The peo
ple have investigated the Administration of
General Grant, and have found it just, honest,
economical, and loyal in every particular.
They know what Grant can do In the future,.
by what he has done in the past. They know
that a con ti n natio n of his wise administration
affairs will bring pace, to the South and
prosperity to the whole country.

or Libbyites inform many inquirers what. It
was that the " already elected Governor in the
hearts of the people" took so slyly last Satur
day evening, a hile he was addre=slng that
, inntenßc c , otod at the Allen House? He did
lake "stithing." It was not water, for he
took a glass of wilier alter—"what was it?"
Why did he not pros it round so that a fellow
wouldn't have to nit the question? What
was the reason nilt the "Governor ?" He
looked so very f,Ol sh and would not start his
piece. Did his !wart fail him on account of
the tremendous applause that shonld have
greeted Min, when he male his appearance
or—how ? Or had the timid orator (?) not
' , covered from the s.are he got - at Walbert's
Pencerrail, Lager b•er glass and Club riot.
unr would think that the Hero of "Nob
3l.motain Camp Meeting" would not mind
melt a little "discussion mit sthicks." The
"Governor" was the author of the law pro
hilting the sale of liquor on election days,
now let him get a law Nos.,' pr „bibi t t ug c „„-

The'Pnliffenr 81turttinti and the Fearful ResitUN
of Itireetey's Election Rerletred.
WENDELL rumura' LETTER
Of course the first thought that occurs to
you and rue juit now Is that one of your hest,
ablest and moat watchful Iriends—Senator
Sumner—advises you to vote for Horace Gree
ley and believes that your rights will be safe
only in his keeping. I touch with reverend
hand everything from Mr. Sumner. I can
never forget his measureless services to the
anti-slavery cause and to your race. When
ever I read his words I read them overshadow-
ed by the memory of his early and entire con
secretion to the service of impartial liberty ;
of that zeal which has never flagged; that
watchfulness which seldom has been deceived;
or that devotion which has so rarely shrunk
trom any sacrifice, which no opposition could
tire and no danger appal. From such a
counsellor I venture to differ 'IN ith great re
luctance and only after mature deliberation.
I should hesitate to publish my dissent if I
were nut sure that I was right and that be was
wrong ; that the occasion was very Important
and his mistake one which leads to fatal re
sult-.
MY JUDGMENT IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
of Mr. Sumher's. I think every loyal man,
and especially every colored man, should vote
for General Grant, and that the nation and
your race are sale only in the hands of the
old regular republican party. Some may ask
how I coins to think thus when I was one of
the few loyal men who protested in 1868
against Grunt's nomination, and seeing that
I tines so often affirmed that the 11,puhlican
party had outlived its usefulness. Gentlemen,
the reasons which led me to my present opin•
lon, in spite of my former views, ought to
give my Judgment more weight. withyou. 1
am forced by late developments to my present
position. You r member that in 1868 1 em.
phatically denied General Grant's fitness for
the Presidency.
EMl=9
arc no surprise to me I may say without
boasting that I prophesied those defects. Ido
not wish to hide them to day.
GENERAL GRANT'S MERITS
The eminent merits of General Grant's ad
ministration are, I confess, a surprise to me.
His truly original, statesmanlike and Chris—
tian policy toward the Indians is admirable,
and, standing alone, is enough to mark him a
statesman. His patience amid , innumerable
difficulties in our foreign relations is wonder
ful in one bred a soldier. The aid the admin
istration has given to the Indust: ial and fin an
cial prosperity of the country is a great merit.
General Grant's prompt interference for Jus
tice to workingmen, its defiance of those about
bins, relative to the execution of the Eight
hour law, 1 shall always remember. The crime
of the republican party in tolerating the Ku.
Klux is flagrant, but the President and his
immediate friends deserve our gratitude for
their efforts and success In that matter. His
services to the Fifteenth Amendment I shall
never forget. When some even of the fore
most abolitionists doubted and wire lukewarm
I wrote to Senator Wilson asking him to urge
General Grant to put three lines In his first
message commending that measure to Con
gress and the country. The answer came
suck : "You are too late. General Grant's
message was finished before your note arrived,
and the recommendation you wish is in it."
I know the detects of General Grant's ad
ministration as well as any mail. I think,
di-trustlul as I was of him, I ant abler to see
the good,service he has unexpectedly render
ed the nation. But no matter for those de
tects. At the most they are not fatal, and
events have lifted President Grunt into being
to day the symbol and representative ofloyid
ty.
A BLOW FOB OREELEY AND SUMNER
The conspiracy between Southern secession
ists and Nothern copperheads, of which very
naturally Mr. Greeley is the tool and unfor
tunately, Mr. Sumner Is the endorser, and, I
think, the dupe, leaves room but for two par
ties—those who are for the nation and those
who are against it.
The South has often announced—ln the last
Instance by the lips of Jefferson Davis—that
the cause was not lust, and must be won by
getting possession of the government and leav
ing us iu the opposition.
SUCH IS TUE PRESENT I'LOT
That Mr. Greeley sieesjt would never prevent
his aiding tt ; that Mr. Sumner does not see it
is to me a matter of profound astonishment.
At such a moment the regular Republican par.
ty becomes again the accepted and only instru
ment of resistance, and Grant reoreintoto loy.
ally as Lincoln did in 1861. Ido not care for
his defects, were they ten times greater.
Chatham a d Junius rightfully forgot the hi
tting of Wilkea when he stood the represents.
tive and symbol of the rights of a British sub
ject. Even if I accepted Mr. Sumner's por
trait of President Grant, which is in some
senses true, but in no sense the whole treat
I should still vote for Mtn against t rebellion
at the ballot box to which disloyalt% gives all
itlp strength an.l childish credulity all the
character. To stop now for criticism of such
Nulls as those of General Grant is like blam
ing a man's awswardoess when he is defend
ing you against an assassin.
I=l
Every impartial man who comes to us from
the South bears witness that the mass 01
Southern whit( s are wholly unchanged in
opinion, and ready for another revolt when
ever the way opens. To put the slightest
faith iu protestations of copperheads and se•
cessionists, made only to get ollice, is build•
ing on it qu'eksand. With the exception of
Mr. Supper no leading lib , ral republican
does really put any taith in these protesta
tions. Theirs is not a ease of delusion.
TULLY AIM IlYPOCltatts, NOT DUVEs
they know well the plot and for the sake of
°lnce they are willing to help it and risk the
consequences. They know that Mr. Gr , eley's
election means the negro surrendered to the
pale of the Southern Stales, whit no interfer
ence from the nation in his behalf; that it
means the constitutional amendments neutra
lized by a copperhead Co .gress, our debt
tampered with and our bonds falling twenty
per teat in every market. The Democratic
milhonnalre who Is willing to risk this has
already " hedged ;" he holds.millions of Con
rederatn hondB and is plotting to make on them
MOM than enough to pay four timCs over all
he loses on the national securities, and then
safely laugh at the small bondholders ho has
duped.
I know some honest war Democrats wish to
change their base an! accept heartily the re
suit of the war. Honor to them ; but their
place is not with Greeley, but with Grant.
They fought at his aide, there they should
stand to-day. I know it is hard to confess
mistakes, bat I practice what I preach. It
General Grant is set aside who is offered to
us in his place ?
HORACE GREELE,ti
I need not tell you, my friends, what Hor
ace Greeley is. We abolitionists knew him
only too well. In the weary years of our
struggle he had enough of clear moral vision
to see the justice of our cause, hut he never
had courage enough to confess his faith. If
events had ever given him the courage he
never would have had principle enough to
risk anything for an idea. A trimmer by na,
lure and purpose, he has abused even nu
American politician's privilege of trading prin•
ciples for success. But for lack of ability he
would have been the chief time-server of his
age. I never knew now any of his cults . -
gists so lo einem and indiscriminating as ever,
to claim that he was a sincere man. As for
his honesty, for twenty years it has been a
byword with us that it would be safe to leave
your open purse in the same room with him,
but as for any other honesty no one was ever
witless enough to connect the Idea with his
name. Mr. Sumner trusts him as
•
A "LIFETIME ABOLITIONIST."
This is certainly news to you and me; you
and I know well when abolitionist was a term
of reproach how timidly he held up his skirts
about him, careful to put a wide distance be•
tween himself and us. You will find few
working abolitionists, who stood In th e
trenches from 1840 to 1800, willing to trust the
negro race to 'Horace Greeley. Men laugh
when some stirring and loyal sentence is
quoted from the Tribune of 1802 or 1804, and
Horace Greeley immediately proves that he
did not write It, but you and I always knew
that three-quarters of the loyalty Of the Tri
butte was smuggled into It In his absence or
in spite of him. If his letters and communi
cations to Lincoln during the dark years of
1802 and 1803 are ever published the world
will see what you and I have always known,
that he could hardly have aided the confede
racy more unless he had enlisted In its ranks
or taken a seat in its Cabinet.
Evel y man of common sense sees that, of
course, if copperheads and secessionists
LINT MR. GREELEY INTO THE WHITE ROUSE
they will claim, and it is now understood that
they shall have, their full share of shaping the
policy and filling the oflleesof the administra
tion. They are no burglars, but shrewd at a
bargain and sure to get good security for a
promise. The corner stone of their policy is
to repeciate our debt or assume their own.
We shall surely hear that advocated. We
shall probably
SEE JEFFERSON DAVIS IN TUE SENATE
and certainly have his agents in the Cabinet
No doubt ho will be consulted in the construe
tints of the Cabinet. This Is to put in peril nil
the war has gained. lam notiready for such
nn experiment. An old friend now residing
In Georgia, who stood riffle in hand In Kan•
sas all through that fight, told me just after
the Cincinnati Convention :—" Sir, before
Grant arr. eted those twenty Ku Klux in North
Carolina I never slept without a loaded mus
ket at toy bed•head and never ventured Into
the village unless fully armed. Since that
stern interference In North Cturlina I,' even
afar off in Georgia, sleep and walls about as
safe, careless and free us you do here." "It
Greeley is elected I suppose," said I, " you
will
LOAD THOSE nkvoLvEns AGAIN."
" Never. I know Southern boast and what
that election means. I will never risk living
in Georgia under Greeley. I will sell out and
come North." Such is the testimony of a
loyal man in the South. That is how It looks
in Georgia. G.mt,lemeo, I have another in
terest in Grant's election. The antislavery
C use was only a portion of the great struggle
between capital and labor. Capital undertook
to own the laborer. Ole have broken that
up. If Grant Is elected that dispute and all
questions connected wi h it sink out of sight.
All the issues of the war are put beyond de•
Irate, and a clear field is left for the discussion
of tne labor movement. But I see in the bare
succi'ss of General Grant the retiring of old
isso •s and the securing of a place for new
ones. •
flow the next four years may be spent. If
Gooey is elect, d we shall spend the next
tour years in fighting over the war quarrels,
constitutional amendments, negroes' rights,
State rights, repudiation and Southern debts.
and we shall have besides a contemptuous ig
miring of the labia• question. Its triends were
at Cincinnati. The Conv,•ntioa scorned the r
appeals, and Mr. Schurz himself affirmed that
labor was not it live issue. President Grant
means pence, and opportunity to agitate the
great Industrial questions 01 the day. Presi
d •nt Greeley means the scandal and wrangle
of Andy .1 linson's yews over again, with
secession encamped in Washington.
We put aside with the scorn it deserves the
insult implied in preaching to us forgiveness
and conciliation. Anderson ville and Libby
prisons are still living horrors. Il.side the
thousands who were starved there hundreds
still drag out weary dives in our streets,
poisoned all through by that dread cruePy.
The graves of seven white native Georgian
loyal men, ruthlessly shot down in the streets,
are hardly yet covered ; the firs •born of a
hundred thousand households are still freshly
mourned. Until within a year throughout hall
the `ouch the negro was robbed, tortured and
murdered with impunity, the Southern press
glorying in the atrocities. Meanwhile, thanks
to the unparalleled mercy, .the unutterable
generosity of the oration, ninety-nine out of
very hundred Confederate soldiers enjoy to
day all the rights the) had before the war.
We have forgiven, but duty to the dead
and to the negroe forbids us to trust power to
any hands without undoubted, indubitable
certainty that tuch hands are trustworthy. If
we fail in this caution we shall only have ,de
coyed the negro into danger and left him
doubly defenc‘dess. I wish my voice could
be heard by every colored man down. to the
not because they need . toy advice; Do,
they understand and see the danger. But I
should like to rally them to help us, a second
time' to save the nation. I should say - unto
them vote, every one of you, for Grant, as
you value property, life wife or child.
Workingmen, tally now to save your great
question front being crowded out and post
potted another tour years. : - -oldlers, at the
roll call in November let no loyal man fail to
answer his ace. We decorate our loyal
graves with worse than empty ceremonies it
over them we clasp hands with still revenge
ful enemies. When parties and politicians be
tray us do you as you did before and under
the saute great captain to save the State. If
Grant is detente ; 1 ant not sure we shall see
traitors in the Capital parting the nation's rai
intent anti casting lats•for its flag, hut we a-v
sure to see Congress lull of tralmrs and in the
White House their tool. . Let every man who
would avert that danger vote for Grant.
SOME VALUABLE TESTIMONY.
General Lilly on'llartranft
A corresp imlent of the Pittsburgh Corn
mercial has had an, interview with Genera
Lilly at Mauch Chunk. He says in his re
po t :
On arriving nt this point I had the pleasure
of meeting General Lilly, one of the candi
dates for the Givern“rship, who was defeated
by the flarrisburg Convention which nomi
nated General Ilartranft. Beligeing that a
gentleman of such high ottaniling nod worth
would be eta to gi it fair stutemen , concern
ing the causes and eiTec , s of the nomination
of llartran ft, I proceeded to
,interview the
General, with the following result :
Reporter—General, you were a candidate
before the Harrisburg Convention, weren't
you?
General Lilly—Well, yes, my name had
been mentioned, but I teally made no par
titular .rt for the nomination. My own
and some of the other counties had Inc nut
forward, and I saw some of the prominent
no•o or the :state, bat with that exeeptiou I
made nn I.o'ort.
' Hu you think that. the Harrisburg 1301111
nation was fairly mad.. ?
L. —lll..st unquestionably, although I was
opposed to the mai) nominated.
IL— Don't you think thm Ilartranft's nomi
nation was dictated by Senator Cantina ?
hy, no. Colonel Nlann, of your city,
who has never heen with Cameron, was for
Hamann, and I feel quite sure that Cameron
could neither have prevented nr dictated the
nom into on. The soldiers did it—they con
strueted the convention. That fact was shown
by young Reeder tieing made chairman cut the
convention over souse of the most experi
enced Mill in the State.
It.— Yes ; but you Moll think that Camor
on was iu favor of Ilurtranft over all other as
pirants ?
L.—No. \V hen my name was first mention
ed I had an interview with Cameron at Pnila.
delphia—on the Ist of Jauuttr3—•utl from
Whitt he said then i knewthat flartraidtwhs
pm
his choice. lie is II good politician, you know,
and preferred not to commit [Mosell in favor
of anybody ; but he said some things then
that convinced me that
Ilitrirsurt was not Ills (110 fire.
I think Packer was his man,
li.—flow is it that they claim him as a
Ring candidate 2 •
L.—Yes, I know that some of his enemies
say that ke, was the nominee of your Philadel
phia Ring. Why - , sir, nothing could he far
therfront the truth. There were 133 deli,.
gates in tltc convention ;of these Itartrantt
received 87 voles; so, you sec, that ymi can
Mae all that they call the Ring delegates from
him (21)and add them to his opposdion, and
he conies within one of receiving the nomina•
don after all. Now, I don't think that Cam
erne or any other human being could fix up
a job like that.
R.—Colonel Forney says, however, that it
was a Hing nomination not withstandin t ,
L.—Now Forney knows better than that.
Ile is bitter on Cameron, but I can't see why
he should use Cameron as a lash to whip
Ilartranft with. llartrank wasn't our choice
any more than he was Forney's, but he was
nominated fairly and squarely . , and we will
give hint all the support in our power. If
every man delis out of the traces because the
man he favored is not nominated, we'd soon
have c h aos.
11.—Ilow Is it that Col., Forney has every
thing to sa,r against Ilartrauft and nothing
against Bud:slew P ,
L. —That is more than'l can tell. Forney
used to say that Hartranft was one of the hest
and purest men in the State ; why he turned
on him when he wag nominated for Governor
is.more than I can say.
R.—Do you thina llartranft, will be elect.
edt
L.—l think ho will. You have some trouble
in your town, I understand, but the disaltis
laPou throughout the State is less than most
people imagine. Lancaster county Is probably
thy: worst, but I hear that as the people of that
section come to hear and see more of Hart
real, that toe opposition is simmering down.
MR. SURNER AT ROHE
iSpeelalDlnpatch to the New York Titnecl
HosioN, Aug. 14.—Senator Sumner ,arriv
ed here this morning and went to his old
quarters at the Coolidge House. lie has been
accustomed on his arrival here at the close of
a season of labor at Washington to be recelv •
ed with many signs of respect and consider
ation, and the most prominent men of the
State have hastened to congratulate hint on
his services, and honor hint with compli.
ments. To•tiny scardely a soul of them all
was there to meet Hin, end instead of the dis
tinguished gentlemen who have been wont
to crowd his quarters on ly ti t•egg arty crowd
of Greeleyites were' on baud. The sudden
realization of the terrible change which has
come 'over his relations with the people of
Massachusetts and their leaders was too much
for his spirits, and to night he is prostrated
and unable to receive any one at his apart
ments. It is the severest,shock which he has
ever experienced, and It is exceedingly doubt
ful whether he can bear up uneer it. lie Is
not a man without a conntry, but it Is only
too apparent that he is a Senator without a
constituency.
POLITICAL NOTES
The Cincinnati Commercial makes us sad
by saying that Mr. Greel•y's travels In New
Hampshire. this week, have disclosed the fact
that he hits a frightful number of cousins. W e
had hoped that there was but one of them, as
Mr. Greeley, if anccesslul, will do ns he at.
ways has doneput them all into office. This
is an addltmnal reason for eternal vigilance.
Imagine Greeley President, and a hundred
men of the same blood In Important places.—
Toledo Blade.
On the 10111 of May 1871, the New York
Tribune Baal : "Ii is certainly true that we
are not s eking the re-election of General
Grant as President. Should he be the Remit,:
Ilcan candidate we shall, of course, support
hint to the best of our ability." General Grant
the Republica. candidate. flow is the Non
York t ribune redeeming its pledged word ?
0, Doman (I) florae.: Greeley.
The ability to walk two ways, and of pre
senting two front ends at lila same time,la ad
mirable with the crab, fut incinvenlent with
toe Democrat. There is a lack of feelers in
the tatter, which renders the process painful,
and the terminatiop uncertain.—San Antonia
(Texas) Express. •
Down 6outh the benevolent face of Horace
Greeley and the saturnine visage of ,Tefferson
Davis smile at each other from the same wall.
The secesh down there have not mad up their
minds which they love the most.
It is astonishing the number of things that
produce intoxication. In New Haven Mr. B.
Gratz Brown did it with softmhell crates, and
later, in Kentucky, it was peaches I every
thing lie rats flies to his head.
Frank Blair generally delivers his Ideas
watt great directness and energy. Ms style,
too, is often "peculiar." For invtance :
saps t ,at if Gratz Brown were to sit down on
a rotten nivel it wool' make him drunk.
Gram Brown has been "indisposed" again
this lime in Kentucky. Gratz is always Ind is
posed whenever he gets wits in range or a hot •
tie. lie is indisposed to leave it.—Toledo
Blade.
So much wool has been used in decorating
the Greeley tans that llorace dare not look a
sheep in the Nee •
hint to Confederate organs about comment
ing on VireliMlS returns: lithe election ap
pears to be in your favor, call it a "key note;"
t it be noinst you call it a fraud.
WENDET.T, PHILLIPS, in a letter alluding to
the political situation says : I have already
written for Grant as against Greeley, and shall
take a more active part, for I feel what is at
stake. Greeley is simply wax in the hands
of traitors. How sad Sumner's act ! I cannot
understand it. It is the great mistake of his
