the U:ion in November, unless Greeley is
taken from the field and two good Demo
crats nominated in place of Greeley and
Brown by tho Democrats. The Greeley
ticket "s already defeated."'
.The same paper speaking of ihe re
ported frauds, says : ' :
Can Such Things Be ? Is it possible?
Has it really come to this ? The papers say.
that the Republicans are manipulating the
returns in North Carolina! That' the rea
son for the dwindling down of the, Greeley
Tammany majority is because some of
Grant's ma'rshals are " doctoring" the re-
r turns and changing oflk-ial fiigures. And
all tins m the lace and raider tne eyes and
noses of the experts in that line, graduates
of Tammany," who -were sent to North Car

that business ! The idea i3 preposterous 1

the world coming to? We paue for a re

We anxiously 'wait them are returns !
Grant's chaps must change their figures
freely,
To beat the tricks, hangqs, alterations, ad
ditions, and Tammany strategy of the
prison convicts sent on by Greeley."
