It lias .steadily decreased, with firm hand the re-s-ultant
disorders ot the great war and initiated a
-wise policy toward the Indians :
The Pacific Itailroad and similar vast enterprises
havebeon generally aided and successfully con
ducted; The public lands have been freely given to actual
settlers, immigration has been protected and en
couraged, and lull acknowledgement to naturalized
citizens of their rights have been secured froai Eu-
ropean ixmers.
A uniform national currency has been provided,
repudiation frowned doun, the national credit has
been sustained under the most extraordinary bur
dens, and new bonds negotiated at lower rates;
The revenues have peen carefully collected and
honestly applied;
Despite annual large reductions of the rates of
taxation, the public debt has been reduced during
(Jen. Grant's Presidency, at the rate of one hun
dred million dollars yearly :
A great financial crisis has been avoided and
peace and plenty prevail throughout :
Menacing foreign diiliculties have been peace
fully and honorably compromised, and the honor
aud power of the nation have been kept in high re
spect throughout lhe world.
This glorious record of the past is- the party's
best pledge lor the future. We believe the people
will not entrust the Government to any party or
combination of men composed of thoe- who chief
iy have resisted every step of this beneficial pro
gress. ircviul Complete liberty and exact equality in
the- enjoyment of all civil, political and public
rights .should be established aud effectually main
tained throughout the Union by ellieient and ap
propriate State and Federal legislation. Neither
nor its administration should admit of any dis
crimination in tuuwH to citizens bj reason of race,
creed, color or previous condition of .servitude.
Third The recent amendments to the National
Constitution should be cordially sustained because
they are right, not merely tolerated because they
their spirit by appropriate legislation, the enforce
ment of which can be safely trnsted to the party
that recu red these amendments.
-fburtfi Tlie National Government should seek
to maintain an honorable peace with all nations,
protecting its citizens evervwhere and s mpatli'.z
lng with all people who strive for greater liberty.
(lh Any system of civil service under w hich
the subordinate positions of the Government s.re
considered rewards lor mere partv zeal is fatally
demoralizing and -.'e thereiore favor a reform of
the system by laws which shall abolish the evils of
patronage and make honesty, elliciency and lideli
ty essential qualiticaliotis'for public position, with
out practically creating a life tenure of office.
Sixth We are opposed to further grants or public
lands to corporations and monopolies, and de
numl that the national domain be set apart lor
free homos for the people.
.ycrrnrnyna annual revenue, niie pay.g u;e
current debt, should furnish a mivi'rale balance
for the reduction ot the principal, and the revenue,
except so much a-s may be derived from a tax on
tobacco and Iiquon-.slinuid be raised ny duties on
importations, the dim as of which should be so ad
Justed as to aid in securing remunerative wamrs to
laborers, promote the industries, growth and pros
perity of the whole country.
iahth'e hold in undying honor the soldiers
and sailors whose valor saved the Union. Their
pensions are a sacred debt of tho nation, and the
widows and orphans of those who d-ed for their
country are entitles! to the care of a generous and
grateful people. We favor such additional legisla
tion as will extend the bounty of the government
to all our soldiers and sailors who were honorably
discharged and who in time ot duty became di-a-bled,
without regard to the length of service or
cause of such discharge.

OUR JA.VDIDATE FOR. GOVE UXOR.
We feel persuaded that the majori
ty of our local readers are conversant
with the life and history of Col. Furn
as, but there may be some who are
not so fully acquainted therewith, and
for th ir information we have gleam
ed, from a friend, She following
sketch.
The Colonel is a native of Miami
county, Ohio.
He eoznaienced'Iife as a printer.
He was educated in the Henry day
Whig school of politics.
He came to Nemaha county in 1S5G,
aud in that year established the Au-
VEKTISEU.
He was four years a member of the
Nebraska Legislature, and one year
Chief Clerk of the Senate. During
his term of service as member of the
Legislature, he was credited with be
ing the author of more bills of a gen
eral nature, which became laws, than
any other one member. The first
School law and Agricultural act were
introduced by him. Agricultural", ed
ucational and matters relative to the
development of our State have ever
been his "hobbies." He opposed the
early sale of public lands because of
the oppression to actual settlers at
that time, and principally through
.his eflbrln sales in Nebraska were
Miostnoned one vear after thev were
ordered, sold by the President of the
United States.
He has always been active in all
railroad and other enterprises tend
ing to develop the State.
lie has always been promoted to
the highest positions in the organiza
tions to which he has been attached
in the State, viz: To Grand Master of
Odd Fellows, Grand Master of Free
Masons, and Grand Master of all ap
pendant Masonic bodies, President of
the Stale .Board of Agriculture from
its organization, Centenial Commis
sioner for Nebraska, Vice-President
of the American. Pou:ological Society,
and Chairman of the Esecu tive Com
mittee of tho National Agricultural
Society.
In 1SG2, he was appointed, by the
President of the United States, Colo
nel to organize a regiment of loyal
Indians, Cherokees, Seminoles, Choc
taws, Creeks, and Chickasaws, who
had been driven out of their own
country, by the rebels, into Southern
Kansas. He organized two regiments
and was given command of what was
known as the "Indian Brigade" in
the Cherokee Nation during the war,
which brigade had several important
engagements, among which was one
with the noted Col. Clarkson aud the
Indian Chief and Col. Slaudwaitie.
On resigning his Indian commis
sion he was appointed by. Governor
Saunders Colonel of the 2nd Nebras
ka cavalry, and servea miner Gen.
Sully in noted campaigns up the Mis
souri River to near the British pos
sessions. Jie fought at the battle of
White Stone HiJIs, Sept. 3rd, 1S(W, re
ally one of the most important In
dian battles ever fought in the United
States, notwithstanding so little has
been said about it.
After the expiration of his term of
service, he came home to Brown ville,
ami was appointed agent for the Om
aha Indians and had charge of the
iOmalia and Winnebago Indians for
three years, when he was scalped by
Andy Johnson for refusing to "swing
around the circle" with him. Un
like many others, the Colonel has set
tled his accounts with the War and
Indian Departments, and is in pos
session of certificates of non-indebt
edness.
The nomination for Governor was
not labored for by the Colonel. When
the delegation was secured for him
from this county he was not here, and
during the sharp struggle for the hon
or in the State Convention at Lincoln
Col. Furnas was attending to his du
ties on the Fair grounds, as Piesident
of the State Board of Agriculture
That he will make a good Governor

HOW AXD WHY DEMOCRATS SUP
PORT GREELEY.
A Kentucky Democrat, Col. Breck
enridge, supports Greeley, but says,
"Greeley is purgatory but Grant is
"hell." That's how Democrat sup
port Greeley.
Gen. Hodge, a Democratic elector of
Kentucky, had a recent interview
with Greeley, and thus reports to his
people :
"Mr. Greeley promised to do all he
could to aid us when we got a majori
ty in Congress. I object to Grant be
cause he is a Republican ; because he
is a member of that party which
waged successfully the contest against
my brethren of tho south, whose ora
tors kept the fires burning that filled
the federal ranks with soldiers. Ihave
heard it said by some that the Demo
cratic party shall have no part in the
conquest ; but I feel that thev will not
be neglected. Not only will Greeley
not forget who has helped him to his
position, but pledges direct pledges
have been given by him that we shall
not be forgotten in case of- success."
That is why Democrats support
Greeley.

A DELUSIVE MOPE. 'J
LeJldin GreeIevilL.s of lhe country
- ; hat,e the-ir hopes nf victory this season
upon the hypothesis that there will be
a very material division of the soldier
vote. It is well known that thia ele
ment of the electoral vote contains
within itself the balance- af power
that thrown solidly, or very nearly so,
the side upon which.it is cast wins
the day.
Editorials in Democratic papers,
speeches made by Demoeratie stump
era, and remarks thrown out by the
ordained representatives of the Liber
al party in this State, convince us that
it is confidently expected by them
that Federal soldiers will lovingly
embrace Confederates on the Sth of
November, clasp hands with them
"over the bloody chasm," and, sym
pathizing with the martyrs of the
"Lost Cause," vote "as seemeth good
in their sisrM." In the-vernacular of
the parties aforementioned, they fond
ly hope and believe that "loyalty is
played out," "by-gones should be by
gones," and Union and disunion re
cords be buried in one common
grave.
A greater delusion conM not seize
upon a party. When the electric
spark fails or refuses to illumine the
heavens while the thunderbolts of
Jove roar and rumble when the wa
ters of the Niagara change their cur
rent and decline precipitating their
force over the abyss which yawns at
their base when the pariries of the
L West roll tlieaelves np like a carpet,
and the mountains of the East unroll
and form themselves into plain? and
fertile fields when the sluirgish wa
ters of th Styx dry up and the oppo
posite shores unite their lines when
there are no traitors to smile nor mur
derers to frown then, and not until
then, will true, loyal, patriotic soldiers
of the war of 1SG1-5 forget the strug
gles they underweut, the f es they en
countered, the gallant Grant who led
tluni, and the noble Wilson, who, as
Chairman of the Senate Committee
on Military afi'airs, worked so unceas
ingly in their interest.
No, the brave boys and men, who,
in the perilous days of the rebellion,
heard and answered their country's
call who doffed the clothes of the
citizen and donned those of the sold
ier he whose belt was buckled on by
hand of mother whose wife told him
she would prefer living to the end of
her days the widow of a patriotic sol
dier to being the contort of a poltroon
or rebel whose little ones smiled
through their tears as they kissed the
lips of him upon whom their future
depended whose sweatheart thanked
God she had a lover to loan or give to
her country who, while lying upon
the tented field, or in the hospital,
felt the soothing nifluence produced
by the conviction that loved ones at
home were offering up prayers to the
God of t attles unceasingly in his be
halfwe say thoe who enlisfed and
fought under the Starry Banner who
heard the rebel yell, and shriek of
rebel shell whose ears became famil
iar with the whistle of rebel bullets
whose eyes beheld their companions-
'in-arms fall at theirsides who heard
the sickening thug of the bullet as it
imbedded itself in the head or heart
of mess-mates whose feet have trav
ersed over fields of carnage in search
of the inanimate forms of their fel
lowswhose hands have folded in
blankets and deposited in pits the
bodies of friends who went forth to
battle and fell in the line of their du
tywho have suffered and famished
in rebel prisons again we say, such
men will never, while reaso.i holds
sway in its regal throne, allliate polit
ically with Wade Hampton, N. B.
Forrest, Raphael Seemes. or the coun
terpartof those rcd-handi-d and black
hearted traitors so plentifully distrib
uted in the North.
Fool would the rebel be, who. living
in this latitude, in the presence of
those who wore the blue would, mil
wisti to have lij-jjiuicM he bx-gories.
and fool would the man be, who sym
pathized with the rebels in their effort-
to subvert our svstwn of Govern
ment and to teard wn the pillars of
oiij Republic would not like Jo have
loyalty become "pHyed out." But
the true Union Soldier who did his
duty, has neither the desire or ability
to forget the past, and while he clier
Nhes its memoiy, and hopes for the
future of his country, Demociats, un
der whatever name or garb, will de
rive but little support from liJni.
No, the Federal Soldiers cannot be
induced to desert their peerless chief
tain. Those who do will form ex
ceptions to the general rule, and be
composed of material from whieh
better partizans than patiiots ate
made.
And, we apprehend, that the great
ass of the people, those who daily
meet widows and orphans so rendered
by the war who look uuin cripples
who wtre maimed in the stern con
flict -who
gaze upon
the mounds
which cover so many of our brave
soldiers who feil in defense of the Na
tion who are called upon to contrib
ute to the relief and support of the
widows and orphans of our barbarous
ly slain countrymen who are waited
upon by the tax-gatherer for their
portion of the National tax we say
we apprehend the great mass of such
will remember the noble party which
vindicated their country's honor, and
vote to sustain and endorse the pride
and hope of our party, U. S. Grant
aud his compatriot Henry Wilson.
Hon. Geo. Frost, editor of the
Omaha Tribune & Republican, in last
Saturday's issue, pays the following
merited tribute to Nemaha county's
candidate for State Senator :

COL. FURXAS AXD HIS TRADrCEIIS
The editor of the Omaha Herald,
evidently believes implicitly in the
old. adage, that "a lie will travel a
J league w?iile the truth is pulling on
its boots." A short time since it
averred that President Grani was h
drunkard before the war, a sot during
the war, and had not improved since
his-accession to the Presidency, and
called to the stand Gen. Alvord, Gen.
Thayer, Gov. Paddock and, others,
each of whom did come forward and
testified that they never saw Grant
under the influence of liquor, and that
the use of their names by the Herald
was unwarr&nted.
In last Sunday's IRrald we find,
the following paragraph :
No man knows better than Colonel'
Furnas knows, our perfect familiarity
with the fact that, in the se-sion of
the Territorial Legislature for 3P56-7,
he stipulated to receive, and did re
ceive, as a consideration for his vote
against measures fonthe removal of
the Capital from Omaha, for the di
vision of Douglas county, or for the
removal of the county seat from Oma
ha City, the sum of $8,000 in gold.
The editor of this paper was a mem
ber of the Territorial C- uncil at tlie
time this corrupt transaction was con
sumated. and not only states a well
known fact but can prove whereof it
allirms before any tribunal which
those who question or deny it may se
lect. Now we have but t. say, that some
time since Col. Furnas, in private
conversation, told ih of certain charg
es which had been put in circulation
touching bis honor as a ge'nlleman,
ami that in order ft. hnvan opportu
nity or warrant to clear hii.-elf of
such accusations, rather than to reap
the honors attaching to the position of
Governor of Nebraska:, he desired the
nomination of his party for tha' office.
At present writing Col. Furnas is ab
sent but we assume the authority, in
his name, to characterize to above as
a base calumny, and (o call for the
proof. Indeed, out of it own mouth
is the Herald convicted of slander,
for in another paragraph it says :
This paper has no taste for that
kind of opposition to Col. Furnas
which circumslaucys have compelled
it to assume. For thai gentleman it
has had, and has, the warmest feel
ings of per.-onal regard and good will,
lint parties ami public interests are
higher than persons-, and this fact we
are compelled to recognize, especially
when Col. Furnas himself invites it.
Col. Furnas is a dangerous man to
place in positions of high public triHt,
and if he is elected Governor of this
State, results will vindicate this opin
ion. Now we submit that the man who
confesses that he entertains the
"warmest feelings of personal regard
and good will" toward a man whom
he knows clothed his soul with perju
ry and took a bribe of $3 000, is not a
very creditable witness, and in so
saying he either publishes himself as
the abetter and friend of a purjurer
and dishonest man, a fool, or a liar.
LTpon one or other of these hooks he
is impaled, and we leave himto-extri-cate
himself as best he can, but in
sist that he produce his proof at once,
in order that the accused may have
time to nail and clinch the base ca
lumny. In conclusion, we have a word for
the private ear of the Herald. If this
personal war upon Col. Furnas is to
go on, Mr. Lett and his friends will
deceive themselves if they imagine
that their opponents will confine
themselves to n defensive war. There
are some facts within our ken, the
revelation of which would place
some of the Herald household in an
awkward fix, and reveal a skeleton in
the Herald's chamber which would
cause a rattling of the Liberal and
Democratic dry bones. All we ask is
fair play ; if that is denied us, we will
let loose our dogs of war, when there
will be such a howling as was never
before heard in Nebraska.

we went to hear the speech of this
gentleman, at the hull, on Saturday
evening.
We do not claim to be free from
prejudice, but we do not' think the
I speech was satisfactory to any one.
ind it certainly was not to us.
Colonel Warner opened his speech
by paying a high tribute to-his party,
and rounded the sentiment by a flour
ish, indicative of-the high estimation
he entertained of the joint convention
which did him the honor of a nomi
nation for Congress. We never have
"had any of it in ours," but we sup
pose it is the most natiiral thing in
the world fora candidate to think the
convention which nominated him,, a
little the most uniqueever held, and
therefore pardon the little vanity of
the speaker.
The convention he said; was pre
eminently noted for the dignity of its
demeanor, unanimity of sentiment,
and its entire freedom from rings and
cliques. We could hardly suppress a
smile when w remembered that nu
merous gentlemen from hereabouts
recently made different statements,
on their premature return from the
same body.
The speaker stated, with, apparent
pride, that his parties ignored prima
ries ! Does this mean reform ? ft is
plain that such a course will effectu
ally preclude the mass of the- people
from havi g a voice in political af
fairs. It was said by an ancient Ills'
toiian, that the Athenian was raised
above all the nations of antiquity, be
cause all questions of foreign policy
and domestic administration were set
tled by the people in hei; primary
meeting. Yet, here is a party which
has discovered that reform must pro
ceed, and good government depends
upon the suppression of the voice of
the people in the primaries.
The next statement as, that every
Republican of National reputation in
1SG0, was now a Liberal. We might
mention the names of Henry Wilson r
Schuyler Colfax, Henry Ward Beech -er,
John A. Bingham, Columbus Del
ano ami William B. Kelley, which
the speaker doubtless had forgotten.
Cut after all, the list of names which
he mentioned as men who were now
Liberals, proves notlnug but that well
known fact established in the experi
ence of all n itious, that there are but
few men that can long stand the snn-shine-of
public favor, but that when
they are just on what seems to be the
acme of political prosperity, they
commit some indiscretion which hurls
them into disfavor, if not disgrace.
In the opinion of the Grant party,
the speaker said, every ex-rebel who
joins their party, is all right, but if
he declares for Greeley, they still
characterize him as an unrepentant
rebel. Just so, Mr. Speaker, and for
the very good reason that in the for
mer case he gives the highest evi
dence of his conversion to the princi
ples which that party has always
maintained, and now established as
law, while in the-latter case, as the
sentiments of the southern press and
of Democratic leaders at the north
fully indicate, lie simply makes obeis
ance to what is law, with the ulterior
hope that it will be repealed. Tii oth
er words, declaring for Greeley, in
the light of all theeircumstances, is no
evidence of a change of principles.
The speaker favored Universal Am
nesty, and would have had it pro
claimed the moment the armed pow
er was broken. Such magnanimity,
he said, would have instantly trans
formed the southern people into
peaceable and law-abiding citizens.
Such re-ults we would expect in ro
mance, but we fear such fine senti
ment would find little lodgment in
the hearts of the ignorant and preju
diced minds constituting the Ku Khix
organization of the south, in opposi
tion that bitter and implacable hafi"d
existing againt the colored race. We
believe that to the ill-timed and
whole sale amnesties of Andrew
Johnson, comparative history will a
eribe more than to any other cause,
the diabolical outrage:? subsequently
perpetrated in the south
Of" the Treasury, the speaker said,
that until within two months he had
bet n reading-the Grant papers, and
had supposed it was all right, but
I hat siii"e he bad taken the Greeley
papers, he had discovered some tre
inenduous frauds. Comment is un
necessary. One evidence of fraud he
mentioned was that sworn state
ments of different persons were ex
tant, differing to lhe extent of one
hundred and forty millions of ddl.ns.
as to the amount of money in. the
treasury on the 20th day of J in. e, l.Sfif).
Whether these statements were made
directly, or only indirectly, and by
pesons whose duty it was to know,
doth not appear.
True, the-peakersaida largeamount
of the national debt has been paid
under this administration, but the
people have paid it, and he held that
it was no more than the duty of the
administration to apply what the peo
ple paiti to its liquidation, and it de--erves
no credit fordoing it. Ot cour-e
we claim nothing but a faithful ad
ministration of the public affair-, oi
the proper discharge of the public
duties.
Then followed the old fabrication of
the loss of one-fourth of our revenue
in its collection, which had its or gin
in the report of a committee, who
-aid that one system of collection of
the public revenue was inferior to
another, in this, that it would re-
suit in a loss of one-fourth of the rev
enue. The expenses of the Government j
under the Grant administration was
next claimed to be over one bundled
millions of dollars more than under
the administration of Johnson. True
to instinct, the speaker claimed that
tho excess was Grant's corruption
fund
The Boiitwell funding swindle was
next rehashed. It has been o satis
factorily refuted so many times bv
the press and otherwise, that we
pas it.
The speaker then recounted the op-'

and his accomplices, who are now
Grant men, was tliar uie latter got
away with all they stole, white Butler
did not, which fact-alone condemned'
Butler in the miners of the Grantites.
But we thought, as it is sometimes
said of a witnpsa, that the speaker af
terward "crossed himself," when he
said that although Brown ville was
sure of the next Governor, the suc
cessfcil man would not have an oppor
tunity of stealing anything for his
predecessor (Butlet) had stolen it all,
and the joke was thereby spoiled
for us.
Of General Grant, he would say
nothing, but the temptation seemed
so-great that his resolution was- over
come, and he charged that Grant's,
choice associates were the. black-legs
of Long Branch.
He then proceeded to show up Hor
ace Greeley's magnificent character,
fn a manner that might have made
the sage feel a little bit vain, had he
been present. Horace's reputation,
unsullied save by the slanders of the
Grantites, and the trenvenduntis- bat
tles of principles which he had fought),
beside which Grant's proudest battle
field deserved not a mention, were
then duly portrayed. The Republi
can party had no principles at issue,
but all their force was expended in
heaping slanders upon this little
demi-god. The creed of the Repub
lican party was contained in three
words, "hatred, malice, and revenge."
Ws? were very much shocked to
hear the speaker speak so apologirig
ly for the execution of Andersonville,
Wirz, and Mrs, Surratt : " I 'on could
hang that poor skeleton, Wirz, "when
he was just ready to drop into the
grave; yes, worse than that, you
could hang a woman, but you could
not hang Jeff Davis." The jurisdic
tion of the United States to try Davis
for treason, involves a grave question
of international law, but murderers
and their accomplices fortunately
may be dealt with as their crimes de
sert. And for the disposition of
such malefactors, we do not believe
an apology from Mr. Warner need be
repeated to a Nebraska audience.
The speaker then passed the ques
tion of centralization, which he pro
nounced the best argument he had
why Grant should not be re-elected.
He expected to return at some other
time, when he would make that his
theme, and he therefore concluded as
he commenced, that he did not solicit
votes, though if any one felt like
voting for him, he would appreciate
the favor.
In proof of his devotion to the
cause, he said he esteemed it a greater
honor to be nominated on the Liberal
Republican ticket, than to be elected
on the Republican. So eDds the chap
ter. We were sorry to notice several gen
tlemen so indecorous as to smoke in
the hall, in the presence of the ladies;
in bad taste in any event.
OUR COUNTY PAIR.
We hope that not a single citizen
of Nemaha county will fail to present
himself on our Fair grounds on the
24th, 2oth, and 20th inst., and assist
in rendering our County Fair the best
and moefc interesting of the series.
The officers of our County Society
have been active in making such ar
rangements as warrants the belief that
the Fair will be a success. And sure
ly it should be. The season just clo
sing has been especially favorable to
the growth of cereals and fruits in
Nebraska, and it would repay one to
take a trip to New York to see such a
display as can be and which we be
lieve will be. made here on the days
above mentioned.
The importance of Fairs to agricul
turists can scarcely be overestimated.
Hen- they can compare their own pro
ducts with those of others, and by
communing with biother agricultur-
turisls, add to their store of knowl
edge and disseminate more informa
tion in a day than actual individual
experience would confer in a year.
letter from republican- city
Rkitiji.ican City, Ned., 1
September 14, 1S72.
Eilitor Xthraska'ADVKUTiSKR.
The Urownville Democrat of last
week is mistaken when it says "Re
publican City lost the county seat by
a few votes."
The fact is, if the illegal votes cast
in lavor of the other point were
thrown out, Republican City would
have had a clear majority of the le
gal votes cast. Rut owing to errors
having been committed in the regist
ration of voters in both precincts, the
canvas&ers threw out the entire vote
and the county clerk has officially
announced that no county seat has
been chosen in Harlan county. The
probability now is that another vote
will not be taken until next spring,
as two of the commissioners of the
county, being controlled by an out-
sid.- monopoly, have refused to in
liielude the question of county seat in
the call for the October election.
This action on the pait of these au
gust officials suits us, as the longer
tlie question i3 now postponed the
more votes it will make for Republi
can City. Hem we have a town start
ed and going ahead, notwithstanding
all their imported voters Swedish
colonies and outside monopolies and
the other place voted for is not exact
ly the"sjt..ckade," but a quarter of a
certain school section, which belongs
to the government, and upon which
no improvements have been made.
Here is the commercial point, and
this town is destined to be the princi
pal city ot the Republican Valley.
It :& midway between Brownvilleand
Denver and in a most beautiful and
heaitny.counlry, unsurpassed for its
agricultural aud commercial advanta
ges. We consider the day not far dis
tal, t when the conductor on the train
from Brownville to Denver will call
out "Republican City."
New comers make their appearance
here ev.-ry day. Our hotel is cou-

has just api
a few and i
both sides, which do not change an-v
thing on the whole. There are 119
German-American papers supporting
Grant, and 105 for Greeley. Among
the German Greeley papers there are,,
beside tlie Wcstlichc Post, (Schu.x's
paper,) the Milwaukee Teelote, and
the Louisville Anzeigcr, none of con
sequence. On the other hand there
are for Grant many of tfie oldest and
most influential German-American
journals, as the New York Handel's
Zeitung, New York Bellctter, Journal,
Illinois Staats Zeitung, Cincinnati
Courier, Missouri Stoats Zeitung, In-
dianafiolis Telegraph, Louisville Volte-
blatt,Bcdthnore Werccr, JST. Y. Abend
Zeitung, Fi:eic Prcssc, in Philadelphia,
FreihrWs Friend, in Pittsburg, Tele
graph, in Buffalo, Exjiress, in Toledo,
Minnesota Staats Zeitung. &c. To
speak about Chicago, weestimate very
moderately, the whole number of sub
scribers to German Greeley papers
amount to one-fifth of the number of
the subscribers of the Illinois Staats
Zeitung, and the number of readers to
one-tenth of that of the Illinois Staats
Zeitung:
Campaign papers, i. e. papers that
are only started or bought up for the
campaign, are more numerous on
Greele3''s than on Grant's side.
Besides these 119 papers for Grant,
and 103 for Greeley, there- is a num
ber of papers keeping themselves
more or less impartial. Toe three
best German-Democratic and most in
fluential ones, 3r. Y. Staats Zeitung,
Philadelphia licmocrat, and Anzcr
ger l:cs Westerns, refuse most persist
ently to support Greeley. But these
three papers have twice as many sub
scribers as all of the German
Gieeley press together. The widely
circulated Cincinnati Volksblalt is neu
tral, but leans visibly towards Grant.
Strictly neutral is Hcinzcn's Pioneer,
but it is more bitter against Greeley
than against Grant.
That the above statements are cor
rect, we have the- most extensive
proofs. Therefore it is certain that
Greeley is in a minority among the
German reading public Illinois
Staats Zeitung.
KARL HEIN'ZEN" ON THE LIBERAL
&W1XDLTJ.
Karl Heiuzen, the most zealous ad
vocate of the abolition of the Presi
dency, and anything else but a friend
to the present administration and of
President Grant, in Xo. 29 of his Pi
oneer, criticizes the Greeley swindle
as follows :
"Also the slave-holder's party di
gests Greeley and Greeley digests the
slave-holder's party, and the rfchurz
ians digest both. These men must
have stomachs like sharks and Polar
bears, of which we read that they
swallowed not only sail-cloth and oth
er rags, but even tob&cco, bottles, etc.,
belonging to a crow of a north pole
expedition.
"Enough, the gentlemen digest
each other and that is the most elli
eient means to establish harmony.
Now it remains to be seen whieh one
of the different elements will give the
deciding word in the fusion to effect a
harmonious organization. Will they
become "Greeleyish philosophers," or
"liberal republicans," or "slave-hold-erish
democrats V" As the democrats
furnish about nine-tenths of the par
ty, therefore the pclitical chemists do
not prophesy that the mixture will be
abolitionist, and as this nine-tenths
have hungered for "spoil.-," for half a
man's age, therefore the one-tenth
will have to be satisfied with the hon
or of the Moor, if it should come to
the partition of oflfces.
"Such changes, such partnership
business, such arliliations can be ef
fected by a Presidency ! In France
tlie Eonapartists, Orleanists and Re
publicans fight each other without ef
fecting a reconciliation. America
showed to them the way to form a
party from the most heterogene ele
ments. All they have to do is to in
troduce Presidential elections, and its
the battle for the highest price, i. e.
offices and meat pots, put up "tickets
with two evils " But no, let us not
defame the French Republicans.
They never would oiler their hands
to the fallen Bonapartist or royalists,
under the form of liberalism and re
form, as their American brethren to
the fallen adherents of Jet' Davis arid
Tweed. In France the Schurz men
would die of infamy. Bonapartism
was possible in France, but no affilia
tion between Republicanism and the
banditti-ism, like here an affiliation
of the destroyers of slavery with the
patrons of dealing in human flesh,
the sup osSi deadly enemies of cor
ruption with the professional thieves
The saying, "there is nothing new
under the sun," cannot be said any
more from America. Never has anv-
tiling been like the new "civil"
par-
ty. A long ruling renders, parties de-
oiu 01 principles and corrupt" but
here we see n party raise itself that at
tempts to get the power by open want
of principles, and corruption. The
want of principles is their capital
stock, their strength, their hope.
Tfteir different elements try to belie
each other, mutually agreeing that
they lie. in order to present that
"compound of lies" to the people, as
truth in a lying platform. If Mr.
Schurz and his co-reformers assert
that they are convinced that their j
new patrons, the Democrats, accepted
the Cincinnati platform, to execute
thesamo honestly, then they lie most
shamefully, if they assert that the
government of their new party would
be a less evil than that of Grant. If
reared. It only contains tion t wen tv-threes toSnqnartofc';10
n-ijriiificant mistakes on V?,-:.1!?.''-:'?-? r -."
the dealers in human flesh, by the ;
adoption of the above platform, de-'
clare they iirnore their wlininiinetnnii
have changed entirely, that would be.
a stronger appeal to the credible stu
pidity than the oath of the banditti
rles Napolean to preserve the Republic
that the empire was the peace.
