With those who will assemble there, but Il
it shall be decided TO nominate, i have no
hesitation in saying believe the hopes of
the people throughout the country are rest
ing upon Gen. Grant as the csudidates-
he has displayed the qualities which give
all men confdence. He has shown him
self possessed Of great ability and skill,
tho most indomitabIe courage and most
lunsel6sh devotion to the cause of his cOun-
try. Victory has attended him wherever
he has gone. One year ago ali confidence
in the Naturalization was lost, but the
brilliant victories which have since been
won By Gen. Grant have so far restored It
az to encourage the Administration to at
tempt to re-elect itself ON the strength of
his achievements. But in my Judgment
We should lethim who has won the honors
wear them and should intrust power TO
one who has shown that he knows how to
WELD it. We shall then have . leader at
the head Of affairs in whom all loyal men
will have confidence and against whom
there will be no prejudioes and whom all
will aid with alacrity.
