Gen. Grant himself.
Why does he not speakg lie Is in Wash
ington and could settle the question in one
hour by an outspoken declaration of his
principles; why will he not do ii instead oil
leaving great party to founder and grope
its way along in Ignorance Of his political
opinions and principles at such time as
this? 1t is true he has written patriotic let
ters to the President, but then he marks
them ''private," and so the party and the
country lose the benefit of his patriotic ut
teraLces. Grant ought 10 speak out He
must speak out, if he expects to satisfy the
people and reach the Presidency.
Judge Chase has told the country most
emphatically where he stands. Secretary

all, time and again, unequiyocally declared
their political status to the world. And now
