595 - L Oct. 15; ed: 2/3 - The New York WORLD prints a report that the Re-
publicans lost 61,000 votes, but the truth is that the majority of Republican
votes in Ohio is estimated at 40,000.
The PLAIN DEALER is following in the footsteps of the WORLD - or
rather it lies more desperately. To what desperate straits is a party re-
duced which must resort to such magnificent and enormous frauds. (3)

623 - L June 13; ed: 2/1 - The New York WORLD writes on the recent nomina-
tions at Baltimore. It called those nominated, Lincoln and Johnson, a rail
splitting buffoon and a boorish tailor.
"Why, the very fact that the Union nyminees are taken from the people -
that one was once a rail-splitter, and the other a tailor - will be the
chief element of their popularity." (8)

688 - L. Oct. 25; ed: 2/1 - In two weeks the people of these states will
decide between peace and war. Every indication signifies that war shall
continue until the armed Rebellion is crushed. The Democratic leaders
are planning on laying a trap to catch the unwary and unthinking. All
the devices of politicians at the North and Rebels at the South will be
resorted to, to influence public opinion.
"No one need be deceived by these tricks. The Chicago platform wants
a convention with a view to restoration of the Union. Stevens, Boyce,
and Johnson favor a convention between equal powers, but do not mention
restoration of the Union.
"By acknowledging independence of the South, we justify England and
France in similar recognition, sure to follow such an act on the part of
the North. We justify them in breaking the blockade, we barter away
our nationality, and we consent to a broken, dismembered Union. If we
wish to avert these evils, we must stand by the Union. The people are not
silly gudgeons thus to be caught." (18)

673 - L. Sept. 29; ed: 2/2 - The New York WORLD says that Pendleton has
always pursued a policy best adapted to the welfare of the country,
meaning that the wisest policy is that of recognizing the right of a
state to secede. "If there are any war Democrats who think that McClellan
is a war man, they had better surrender all ideas of this kind, and
recognize the fact that McClellan and Pendleton are both Copperheads." (3)

closed the WORLD and the JOURNAL OF COMMERCE for three days, for pub-
lishing semi-rebellious sentiments.

dresses an editorial three and one-half columns long to Abraham Lincoln.
The letter opens with a flourish of knowledge on the constitutional
points in the case. Then follows a recitation of the circumstances
leading to the publication of the hoax. - - -

publication of the WORLD." - - (10)

intends to stand aloof from the government. It tells the Union party,
"You have your machine, now run it and don't potter about our duty.
Attend to your own. The Union is lost. Save it."
LEADER:
"We do not believe the WORLD is backed by the Democratic party
of which it claims to be the leading organ, in this shameless declara-
tion of treasonable neutrality and indifference. We look to see a
United North determined to see that the rebellion is put down. The
treason of the New York WORLD will not prevent that happy circumstance."

cratic party is that of superadling to the exercise of force, the policy
of conciliation. That is General Grant's policy. He, however, uses
bombshells to conciliate. "The Democracy don't believe in such concilia-

in which the Chicago platform is being denounced by the people, and fears
that if the discussion continues nothing visible will be left of "Little
Mac." - -
Efforts of the Democratic party have been to prove that the measures
adopted are unwise, and they must not shrink from the issue.

vention with people. It advises that money be collected and carloads of
poor be shipped to the convention. A placard labeled, "Fremont and the
Cleveland Convention," is issued daily in many papers.

find it in all other Copperhead journals in the country." (6)

land Convention will be a most formidable gathering. Our Albany cor-
respondent, who has excellent means for knowing, states that there will
be from Missouri alone, two thousand delegates, of whom one thousand
will be from the city of St. Louis." "The above, from the New York
WORLD, is a sample of the kind of puffing bestowed upon the Fremont
Convention by the Copperheads. There is not a particle of truth in
the statement and it is published merely to assist in swelling the
numbers." - (6)

1583 - L June 1; ed:2/2-4; 4/3-5 - "Yesterday... was a great day for
politicians. It was the day in which (vide the New York WORLD and -
HERALD, the Chicago TiMES and the Cincinnati ENQUIRER), the greatest
political movement of modern times was to be set on foot, a new party
be formed, and the next President nominated - a day more fatal to
Abraham Lincoln than the Ides of March to Caesar. -- -
"The day certainly passed off with most remarkable quiet. Besides
the arrivals chronicled yesterday, but few made their appearance, and
the convention, for one so widely heralded and anxiously prepared for,
was singularly small in numbers and weak in talent."
The convention inet at eleven o'clock at Chapin's hall. "The two
thousand delegates from Missouri have not been heard from. It is sup-
posed that they stopped at Cincinnati for consultation with the proprietor -
of the ENQUIRER as to the best mode of defeating Lincoln. The two
thousand from New York were similarly missing, and the convention was
in numbers a very slim affair....
"There was also a 'most pleasant lack' of leaders in the convention.
Horace Greeley... was absent, and his absence was regretted by delegates
even more than that of the masses. B. Gratz Brown was also unaccountably
missing, and the convention felt the loss of his active and commanding
intellect. -
"From the first it was evident that there was a secret, but
irrepressible conflict between the friends of General Grant, including
most of the New York delegation and many from the Eastern States, who
were mainly of Democratic antecedents, and those of General Fremont,
composed mainly of the old abolitionists and the radical Germans,
and led by Coionel Moss, of Missouri."
E. Gilbert, president of the New York "Fremont" club, called the
convention to order and immediately nominated ex-Governor Johnston of
Pennsylvania as temporary chairman. Johnston was elected by acclama-
tion. B. H. Brooks of California and S. Wolf of Washington were
chosen secretaries. A committee on permanent organization, of ten
members, was appointed.
The number of delegates attending the convention was so small that
the committee appointed to enroll their names never made its report.
"We believe, however, that there were about one hundred and fifty dele-
gates present, of whom nearly half were from Missouri and wild for
Fremont, and ihe others mainly from New York, Pennsylvania and Illinois."
In addressing the convention, General Cochrane said, in part: "You
assemble here intending to support the army in the field, and at the
same time to organize a great civil army to fight for principles, and
to save for all generations the precious legacy obtained for us by the
sacrifices of the soldiers of the Union. The rebellion, it must be
suppressed; the Union, it must be preserved."
The nomination of Grant "was very faintly cheerei, and it was evident
that the name of the hero of Spottsylvania would pale before that of
the swordless general of New York.
"Nothing would do however, for the St. Louis Germans, who voted not
to recognize God's hand in war, but to nominate Fremont.
"General Fremont was nominated by acclamation.
"The 3,000 delegates, with whom the city was said to swarm yesterday
by the imaginative PLAIN DEALER, cheered heartily over the good work."
General Cochrane was nominated by acclamation for vice president. The
naming of the party was deferred until night when a committee, appointed
in the afternoon, reported the name of the new party to be the Radical
Democracy. Bird B. Chapman represented Ohio on the executive committee,
consisting of 15 members. (128)

1631 - L Oct. 22; ed: 2/2 - The New York WORLD is trying hard to over-
come objections to a convention of states. It admits that state sov-
ereignty is opposed by the North but approved by the South. The WORLD
also tries to show that the same doctrines of state sovereignty has been
held at different times in history, but has repeatedly died out, its
former defenders becoming its bitterest enemies. It also says "that
if the Union can be restored this metaphysical opinion of the South
would ultimately, by reason of self interest, die out in the South."
(LEADER) "This is all a very nice bit of reasoning, but it is un-
sound in starting with the assumption that the Union could be restored
and the virtual independence of rebel States be recognized before a
convention of States was called. A convention of States predicated
upon an admission of the right of any State to secede and consequent
justification of the rebellion, never could result in restoration of
the Union except on such terms as the rebels might see fit to dictate
as conditions of their return. The recognition of the right of a State
to secede Inight be salve to Southern pride, but it would never result in
restoration of the Union." (12)

"The government revoked the order suppressing the WORLD, just as -
soon as it became possible to understand how far the WORLD and JOURNAL
OF COMMERCE were not implicated in the publication of the forged
proclamation." (6)

1978 - L. Jan. 1; ed: 2/1 - "It has now become a daily jeremiad among the
so-called Democracy, that Mr. Lincoln, in making his Amnesty Proclamation,
has done a very cruel, impolitic and unconstitutional act.... The South,
driven to the verge of Union, ... wooed by the dulcet assurances of demo-
cratic love, ... were about to fling themselves into the loving embraces
of their Northern friends.
"According to the New York WORLD... Mr. Lincoln could have offered to
these Southern Lords no greater insult than to demand an oath of alle-
giance to the proclamation of emancipation. 'If instead of this he had
made t l;em offers which the world would have regarded as just and liberal,
the bottom of Meminger's financial bucket would have been knocked out....'
"There may be politicians ready to hob-nob with Jeff Davis in the
Senate, and look benignly upon Toombs and Stevens and men of that
sort, as... misguided men.
"They very much mistake the American people, if they imagine them to
be so blinded and gullible that they (the people) cannot see what's the
matter. Slavery is eternally doomed. In the eyes of all mankind, this
nation would be blasted with infamy to allow the men who have plunged
this once happy people into a war, to return to their old positions of
honor and favor." (8)

heads" of our large cities have a way of representing General Grant
which must be satisfactory to the Rebels. One would suppose, to read
the Baltimore correspondence of the New York WORLD, that Grant was: in
league with Lee and was doing the very things that Lee wished to have
him do. . -
