Public meetings endorsing General Grant
for the Pres ency were held in half dozen
different wards in Philadelphia the other even
ing They were all Of very enthusiastic
character, indicating the powerful hold which
the name Of General Grant has taken upon the
popular mind. AT the Twenty-fourtA ward
meeting Hon. w. d. Kelley made a lengthy
speech in support of this nomination. He ad-
vocated General CIR mt, not on account of his
availability wv. had had enough Of thaD, nor
on account of his glorious military services,
but because of his fidelity to the Congress

his perfect accord with Schofeld, Sickles Pope
and Sheridan, and 'the great War Minister

could no longer abide" "Yes," said Mr.
Kelley, s.San on knows and confiies in Grant.
in the same unstnted measure accorded to the
honorsd District comm lnders. Let u.s. then,
inscribc the illustrious name Of U. S. Grant
upon our standard, and emblazon around it, in
broad letters Of gold, our precious principles,

action by acclamat.on."
Such are the beginnings, on the part Of the
Independent misses OF tn, great Union party
of the war, in fivor of General Grant They
remind us of the similar movements OF the
people which brought into tho foreground,
each in his turn, General Jackson, General
Harrison and General Taylor. in spite of oil
the opposition movements, calculations and
schemes of the poll icians and party managers
concerned. II is the same everywhere else as
in Philadelphia when the name Of Grant Is
mentioned at a ga herring of the republican
rank aud Gle. 1t revives the old popular en-
,husilsm which carried "Old Hickory" "Old
Tippecanoe an Tyler too" aud "Old Rough

States Grant is the peoples ticket for 1868.
Meantime the poll cians, this man and that

vorite horses for the grand four mile sweep

side, in view OF possible contingencies, General

soon return from Europe. In N.w York, how

above the horizon, while in Ohio and Kentucky
George ii. Pendlcton is proclaimed the
coming man. A Cincinnati paper says
that "wih him as our candidate, stand

On the republican side lin addition to the
prevailing movements for General Gran) they
have an earnest Chas, organ in Philadelphia
which is Of the opinion tina: the Grant IN 'etings
in that city have "more influence abroad than
at home !" that in this Grant movement
principles have been kept in the back
ground and that it will not do to make n

runs up the name OF Sheridan; paper of The
