Fort on the "double quick" order.
Some IS democrats came in body to the
Grant Club, at Bangor, Maine, on the 90 ut,
announcing their intention to work and vote
for the old Rebel Tanner.
At the close Of the war, when our armies
under Grant had swept the power Of the re-
bells from our land and when it was thought
that he was an available candidate for the De.
mocracy for the Presidency, no praise was too
much to lavish upon him. Now that he is
not their candidate, he has become in their
estimation man Of no account He is no
soldier, and perfect ignoramus. Why this
change? Did they LIE then? or do they LIE
now?
A Georgia negro walked Is miles to vote
the Democratic ticket" That is the most
telling fact against negro suffrage we have
ever heard Of.
vallandigbam with oil his treason has some
sense left. In his Dayton [Ohio] Leader no
says: ave are no admirer Of Ulysses Simp-
son Grant as q military genius. But about
the weakest and most foolish thing the Demo-
cratic press or Democratic orators could do,
would be to depreciate his capacity, or assail
him for incompetency, unless in defense of
other Generals whose laurels his friends may
seek to steal away"
1t seems to US no man Of good common sense
ian expect to gain by attempting to prove
hat Gen. Grant is no soldier, or that he lacks
abilities. His record is before

Party slang and vtuperation can not change
he verdict of the great American people, or
help the cause that uses it.
The Republican Presidential ticket is U. s.
Ill over. First, it is U. s. Grant, then the
initials Of the names of the nominees -Ulyss-
IS and Schuyler-are u S.; and then Uncle
Sam, by whom they have always stood firmly,
md who never deserts his friends, is the U S.
who will delight to place them at the head Of
lis sehold.
From present indications, Mr.. Chase will be
he democratic nominee for President ut the
ensuing election. 1t will be bitter pill for
he unterrifed to swallow, but the disease is
dangerous, the necessity urgent, and the
great democratic party which for a quarter Of
century has not hesitaied to sacrifice prin-
iple for success, will undoubtedly nominate
lin as last alternative,
When U. S. Grant was in the war Office our
democratic friends said he had reduced the
expenses TWELVE MILLION DOLLARS in

In 1867 the internal Revenue tax was re-
iuced ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS, What
loes the democratic party think of that? is
his ''pilins taxation higher and higher" we
hink not.
The Republicans ofthc county are just as
anxiousfor low taxation as are Democrats;
and if Andrew Johnson turns out his dishon-,
est Democratic Satellites from public Offices
and appoint honest men, taxation would not
be as high as at present. 1t is the Democrat
ic party through Andrew johnson, that is rob-
bling the treasury and impoverishing the pco-
PIE.
