Full Text

The Sacramento Record says: "In this we know of but one Republican journal that has declared for Greeley, and that is the Auburn Stars and Stripes. In California, moreover, the most influential Democratic journals are opposed to the Cincinnati nominees, and elsewhere there is much division of opinion in the Democratic press. We hear a great deal about the progress which the new movement is making, but surely the support of Democratic papers cannot be regarded as very encouraging for Greeley's cause, so long as he secures no Republican recruits."
