In U. s.. Grant, the 6enve-s e-sl-A.1 l1leI

Spqq}seE of the National House Of Rep
nessntRtives, the Republican party has
placed strong, cohesive and popular
:, Presidential ticket before the people,
Gff9mt, the great captain OF the age, has
also proved that fn the administration

eral Impression among the American
people that in his hands their interests
honor and prosperity Of the country

C0lfa1, for one Of his age, Is man Of
great experience and superior abilities
and BagacitV in our political a1la1rES
and, in the event Of q call TO the W Wh1ee

ties at Frank1cEt t-Qn-therl Main be weak
ened with prospect Of the transfer from
and after the 4th Of March 1869, Of the
reins Of our governments TO Grant ana
Colfax. The Chicago Convention
could not have chosen better ticket.
The President pT0 tenn, of the Senate,
Mr. Wade, who led the list of Vice
Presidential aspirants on the first two
or three ballots, would haYe been to
Grant as heavy q load to carry as was
the Old Man of the Sea to Sinbad the
SaiIor5 and Fentons the next higness
competitor Of Colfax, would have been
& dead weight. Colfax, on the other
hand gives that positive strength and
consistency to the ticket which makes
it a unit and expands the circle of its
influence. He has had the valuable
training of a neWSpap per eU1ror--tt VOca-
tion which in this country is the bPs' OF
schools for an aspiring politician, 1t
teaches him all the ms and ont af the

Editor win match them There is
s'n0thif1g like l6ather,H and the news
paper is the third estate Of the Nine
teentb Century. Grant and COIf6x are
a strong ticket, and they are provided
with q movable extension platform on
the negro suffrage question and on the
money question which viii aoeOmm-
date all comers Of all shades Of opinion.
