to the heroism OF legs developed In the
case of Weston, unless we nominate
him for Vice President on the ticket oI
which George Francis Train is the
head. We are emphatically for Grant
hence cannot promise 70 support eth.
er one of the notorious gentlemen
whom We have named; but as we do
not desire To see our man 20 over the
course without such competition as will
call forth the strength OF his friends
and ss Copperhendism is powerless ex-
rept for mischief in tlIe benighted
South. we venture to offer ticket aud
recommend it us tile hest that the Oh.
position can adopt. Train says that Inc
has brains, and we know that Weston
has legs. Train is from the West
Weston Ii from the East Train has
abundant brass; Weston is the most
modest of pedestrians. Train can
talk Weston can act. Train does not
drink; Weston can't travel without
whiskey in his shoes. Train never
swore; Weston has astonished every
body by the vigor aud originality of his
oatlis. Train has been abroad; Weston
has not. Train can ask for beefsteaIs
in seventeen languages; Weston is not
master OF one form of speech. Train
is fat; Weston is lean. Now, what a
combination IL here: and how insig-
ni!icant are tho deeds of heroes anu
statesmen, of which Grant and Chase
may be selected as the types. compared
with tie exploits of Which Train and
Weston can boast. Already the coun-
try Is In a blaze. See wliat admiring
erouds throng the footsteps Of tile
pedestrian, and what audiences hang
upon the words Of the "man of brainu.
The newspapers-see how they sparkle
and glow with Trains sfeeches and
WestWl's deeds. What more favorable
anguriss is needed to catch the peoples
votes? Train and Weston! how
legs. how potent in politics. Chicago
