>, The NslliinatloD Of Grant.
We have waited aud watched for
The past year and 4 half for one good
reason why grant should be tho can
lidate Of ANY PARTY for the Prcsi-
dcncy. If any glory is sought in that
liz; was loyal to the Government
aud soldiery that prevented ten
States from going out Of the Union,
that account is fully balanced in his
attacking himself to aparty that
since the war has kept ten states
out There arc other questions ill.,
volvcd than the military Issues Of
the past. ars1s
Business Of every kind is lanyuish-
ing: taxation is almost without pre-
ecdsDt in the history Of civilization:
prices of al fabrics rule nearly
doable what they ought; labor is
oppressed with low wages and high
aaxcs, direct and Indirect: wealth is
exempt. A crown Of therns has
been placed OH the brow of cve.y
iaborcr. Glittering gold is promptly
ps.id to u boniho;ding aristocracy,
while the NORWOOD anI gall Of a
deprecated paper currency and ex-
erbitant prices, blight aud curse
tho hopes anil homes Of the poverty
stricken laborcr.
Grant is the candidate Of the party
that has brought these untold evils
of debt. high taxation, and an OK
~mpt BODYBUILDING oligarchs upon the
country to be supported and fed
with sumptuous food, and clad in
Snc raiment BY the toll and sweat o4
the poorly clad, 'nsufficiently fed,
and universally oppressed poor.
Whatever Of popularity he had, has
hecn bartercd away, aud henccforth
hcconsents to be the willing instru-
ment Of the party that fasors the
rich and Expresses the poor
He has grow" frsm youth to
manhood. and FROM manhood to the
n.esidian Of life, without being tie att
thor ofonc single idea, speech, or ut
tcrance beyond what might have en-
auat I'd from the brain Of the vericst
iutellcctual paupcr Of the world. Be-
sause Wendell Philips proves him
10 he i Democrat when sober will not
-nsure tbs conscience Of that party
Nor ought the fact that Phillips
proves him to be Republican when
Nrunk. to make that party very en-
sliusiastic in his behalf, nor does it.
Upon the questions Of finance,
tariff. currency, or payment OF the
public debt the world is as profound
Is ignorant Of his views, as trough
- a go rr4 s 1
lie was unhlrn. If he ia ) any idea
IS slss principles and policy that
govern statcsmca he has ncy or
vouchsafed to tell the world what
they are. Instead Of giving the peo-
pic an idea Of what his policy would
~ y. iovking to their effrom the
burdens that orpress them,. he ga
res upon the past and stares at the
future With the stoliL Indifference
VI a statue chiselcd from granite.
! Thus far he only in reference tU
the future, stands committed to the
everywhere, BY the people, repudia-
ted scheme Of negro suffrage; to the
interests Of the bondholdcrs Of the
east as against the plow-l"lder< and
taxpayers Of the west. Thcir'ny
ayailibility Is in the supposed indif-
ference Of white men to their own
Interests and their deep concern for
the freedmen. With the wings of
Tho bat his unbridled ambition
tenlpts him to soar beyond the ca
gly's fight. One would reasonably
think he ought to be satisfied with
position i,nmeasurably beyond his
fntGllcctunl or other merit, but it is
