The workingman's advocate. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1864-1877, 1868-05-16

The following highly important announce
ment is going the rounds Of the daily press :
The statement telegraphed hence last Tuesday
night, that A. T. Stewart, Of New York, IL here
for the purpose of persuading General Grant to
deciire In advance the nomination at Chicago,
is Wholly incorrect. Mr.. Stewart is here, but
for no such purpose. The paragraph in Balti-
more paper was pointed out TO Mr.. Stewart this
morning, and he pronounced II an uDmitigated
falsehood lie says he believes Grant win be
nominated without opposition, and that even II
johnson 10 not deposed BY The Senate, Grant
viii be elected by the people.
We asked the question some time since,
why it is that A. T. Stewart, one Of the
heaviest oondholders IN the country, and
hitherto leading 6eanocrat, had promised
to spend enc million Of dollars to secure
General Grants nomination and election
While we have never read a satisfactory ex-
planstion for his anxiety, we believe every
reader Of the ADvocArs viii be very apt to
form his own conclusions. Why should A.
T. Stewards opinion or intention exercise q
greater influence on the public mind than
that Of the humblest citizen in the land I
What gives II An undue influence Is his
moral or intellectual character 80 much
sbose chat Of his fellow mortals, that such
rubbish as the forsgoingshouId photographed
over the country. The answer gay be easily
deslned. II ID his money, obtained By :
