don't cost q fifth Of forty millions a

full condition by Democratic misrule,
rebellion and worthlessness, had to be

did get q meal at the Government cost.
Q.-What good will arise by voting
for Grant and Colfhx?
Avery conceivable good which
can bless q nation. Peace will reign in
all our borders. Stability will mark
our financial affairs. Our debt will be

taxes will be lightened every year. Our
country will stand as high for honor as
she does for valor. The experiment OF
a government of the people for the peo-
pie by the people will be successful.
Lovers of liberty everywhere will have
a haven of rest, Il ecure retreat, u safe
refuge. The right of the majority to
rule will be established. The will OF
the people will hereafter supplant the
policy of a drunken cabal at the White
House. And the voice Of this nation
will 90 forth armed with such power
that men everywhere will listen to its
~moutbpiecc MS to one unto whom are
committed the oracles Of God.
