The New York Herald, which sus-
tanned Mr.. Chase to the last, has declar-
ed that the good of the country low
requires the election of Grant. The
Central Chase Association, having its
headquarters in New York, took action
still more significant, and the Executive
Committee have adopted the following ::
WHEREAS, The Central Chase Associa-
ton, composed of Conservative Dem
Ocrats and Republicans, who were dis
pleased with the Republican party and
the CopPerlread affiliations of the De-
mocracy, and who hoped that the lead
ers OF the Fourth OF July Convention
would rise superior to the old and Gillette
policies of the party, and would nomi-
nate 4 statesman in accordance with the
existing and accomplished political facts.
Having had that illusion dispelled by
the adoption of Reputation platform
and the nomination Of a consistent op-
ponent of the war and its results, do
| ResotUe to recommend the indOrse-
ment of Gen. u. S. Grant for President,
and Schuyler Colfax for Vice President
of the United States by the Central
Chase Club, believing that they more
truly represent the views of a ma Ority
than the nominees of the Democratic
Convention.
Thus the Democrats have thrown
away their only chance of success. Sey-
mOur and Blair will gain no Republican
votes, and the Chase men are certain
either to vote for Grant aud ColfaX, or
not to vote at al.
Gov. Andrew, three days before his
death, said: THE tendency of the hour
is toward Grant and that is best. Grant
is so square and honest u man that be-
lieve he Is bound to be right, anywhere"
The Cleveland Leader says: eff you
want to make an Ohio Democrat mad,
say Blair to him. 1t is worse than red
rag to q turkey rooster"
In speech delivered in indianapolis
on the 18th of August, 1850, Frank Blair
according to the iSentineL-stigmatiz-
ed the Democrats as E'hell-hounds."
In his own State Horatio Seymour is
the most unpopular man who was ever
candidate for office. He has been
nominated for Governor of that State
fGe times and elected but twice.
ANOTHER BoLr.-The Wyandotte Ga
zette announces that the Hon. Daniel
Killen, of that city, a Democratic MEM
Der OF the Legislature of 1867, and at
present one Of the State House Com
misSioners, comes out like an honest
man and patriot as he is, for Grant and
Colfax. Thousands of honest Dem
Gratis will do the same thing. No man
who loves hiscountry can support Sey-
| mour, the s:friend" of the New York
rioters, and the great political liar of the
age, or Frank Blair, who openly threat
ems another revolution.
.
the riot in New y DIRK city in 1868 a mob
assembled at Seymour,s request in City
Hall Park, when he, addressing them as
my dear friends"-Inen whose hands
were then red with the blood of their
murdered victims-told them that he
had sent has Adjutant General to HASH
Gagto7l to hare the draft stopped; and
that if the mob would suspend their
violence, the State OF which he was the
Chief Executive could protect them
and make all things satisfactory.
The Detroit Post SAYS: ain 1868.
| Seymour's friends coming with black
ed faces and bloody hands from muir
dering draft officers and burning the
negro orphan asylum, cheered for JEFF
Davis and the rebels. In 1868, the reb-
els, led by Forrest and Wade Hampton,
-cheerfor Seymour"
On Jply4.. 1868, while Grant was GO
| ing into Yicksburg, and Meade resting
on the glorious field of Gettysburg,
Seymour was making q speech in New
York in which he declared the resort to
arms. failure. aud denounced con-
scjption.
The New York Herald thinks the
Republican majority of that State in
November will be from 10000 to 49,
600. Either the Herald is reckless or
Seymour has very feeble hold upon
his own State.
The Republican watchwords in New
York are Grant GEisEold and Glory.
