was Played out. AT buffalo and other
places secretary Seward excused Grants
non-appearance on account Of illness"
The truth is, and it is well known to eve
ry man who accompanied the excursion,
that Grant was sent to Cleveland by an
other train in order to give him an oppor-
tunity to sober off. This, however, was
not the generals pleasure. He preferred
to remain drunk and, on the way from
Cleveland toDetroit, he was in stagger-
ing condition Of drunkenness and only
made his way through the cars with sup
port on each side, and his appearance on
platforms at stations with the same assist
ance. The reporters of the New York
7riJune and of the Chicago Republican,
who were in attendance, telegraphed to
their respective journals that Grant was
in the condition described.
"It is equally true that Grant, on several
occasions during his trip, committed him.
se,f fully to the conservatism represented
by Mr.. johnson, at the time, and deuoun-
ced by the radical party. At Detroit
Secretary Seward, speaking to the people
from the balcony Of the hotel, said: Let
me tell those who are trying to make a
distinction between General Grant and
the president, that nothing in this world
could divide him from the president, or
me from him and the president;' and
General Grant acquiesced in his custom
AIRY silence. Mr.. Seward has kept faith,
and General Grant has broken it.
AT Battle Creek, Michigan, there was
a great crowd and loud calls for General
Grant. while Secretary Seward was ex-
pounding the presidents policy for restor,
ing the union. Gentlemen" the secre-
tary continued, with Grant by his side, Z" if
you expect to hear anything different
from General Grant from what the presi-
dent would tell you, you are very much
mistaken. The general allows ne to do
his talking, aud l allow him to do my
fighting, and We have neither Of US as yet

secretary then turned to General Grant
who bowed in acquiescenee amid the
cheers of the crowd, and concluded,

"There is but one alternative for Grant
in regard to his position at that time.
Either he shared the convictions and APP
proved the policy of the president, which
were fundamentally the same then that
they are now, or he was too stupidity
drunk to deny the sentiments attributed
to him before such vast crowds Of his coun-
trymen. Both conclusions are nally
discreditable in the turn that affairs have
recently taken.

CHICATO.

The most terrific fire ever known in the
west, occurred In Chicago on Tuesday
evening, at the foot Of Lake street, near
the Great Central depot. Some of the
finest business buildings, including the
celebrated 5urch iron building were total
ly destroyed. The great book establish
ment Of Griggs & Co., half-a dozen lead
ing dry goods establishments, and num-
Der Of Wholesale clothing, loot and shoe,
and drug houses, were involved in the
general ruin. According to the Chicago
Times, the FIRE was discovered at about !
o'clock, in the highest floor of the build
ing, at the west end, over the immense
book establishment Of S. G.. Griggs & Co.
The fire department was promptly on hand
but. owing to the fact that high wind
prevailed at the time, could do nothing
toward extinguishing the flames, merely
combining their efforts to arresting the
progress of the coufagration The total
less will almost reach s3 100000, on
which there is an estimated insurance OF
100000.
The following is a list Of the sufferers
with the estimated amount of losscs.

Kentucky Democracy.

The Kuklux Democracy having
carried Kentucky by ninety thou
sand, it is interesting to learn what
kind Of Democracy this is. The
following from the Louisville Jour
nal Eliminates the subject:
"What sort Of republicanism is
that which would honor Generals
Thomas, Sheridan and Meade, and
degrade Generals Hampton and For
rest? Forrest is as good a man as
Sheridan, and better cavalryman.
No Radical will pretend to say that
Hampton is inferior in talent, vir-
tues or accomplishments to Thomas.
Now, if this is a free government,
why should determinations be made
in favor of one set Of men as against
another? When General Hampton
was at the head of his legion, and
General Forrest in his saddle, they
did not pretend to be citizens of fthe
United States. They levied an hon
est and vigorous war against the
United States for the purpose of es-
tablishing, not monarchy nor an
empire, but a separate republic.
They fought splendidly and skillful-
ly. They achieved the homage of
the whole world for valor and abil-
tiles. But they failed, and, the fail
ure implying a restoration of the
Union, they surrendered and re-
sumed their allegiance. To sag that
either might not haze entered the
United States Senate the day after IS
to say that repu5licanisna is dead
letter. To say that they might thave
done so. and should have done so,
if the people saw fit to elect them,
would be to establish precedent
that would have restored the Union
in six months, and no one been the
worse. That is our sort of repub
licanism and any other sort means
continued strife, disabilities, exclu-
sions, alterations, wrongs, rapine,
encreachments, usurpations, frauds,
violence, final overthrow" '''i 2

, Some of our Union Soldiers who
have Joined the Democratic. F,arty
find it pretty hard work to listen pa
tiently to what they hear from the
Democratic leaders, speakers and
papers. To, hear. the rebel cause
eulogized by rebel leaders like
Hampton, Semmes, Toombs, and
Wise, is bad enough, but to hear
the glorious cause in which they
risked their lives, and endured
wounds and. suffering, denounced
with warning hatred and the bitter
est malice by these same rebel lead
ers, is almost too much for human
nature to tolerate.~-What shall we

There appears to be,ne hope of
an honorable future, or indeed of
any future, for the present demo
cratic party Its leaders are pos
sessed by ideas which are not in
consonance with the spirit Of the
age. They must, in the nature of
things, linger, out their days in
an attitude of vain. but bitter pro-
/ test against facts and events. They
are the true reactionaries, who, in

We. have not been, as all our read
ers know, blind friends Of the Re
publican party. We have had oc-
casion, very often, to blame the er-
rors, the blunders, and the excuses
of some of it's leaders; we have not
failed to condemn important parts
of their policy and believe they
have been in many ways unwise.--
But it cannot be denied that their
spirit has been spirit of liberty
and humanity; often when they
have erred, it has been from love
of liberty, and not from devotion to
slavery and often. again, the pre-
vailing ignorance of politicians upon
all other questions but that of sla-
very, has made the party in power
the victim of desiging and selfish
men, and the scape-goat of their
misdeeds. But the democratic lead
lers have not shown a disposition to
do better. They offer to repeat the
blunders of the Republicans; and,
worse yet, they even put into their
last platform a"protectionist' plank
and thus abandon the last distinc
lively democratic ground they had
retained. .a II -.
There is hope of the Republican
party it seems to have a future be-
fore it; itcan be welded and formed
by the young men of the nation
But even if it could not, it should,
in this election, receive the support
of all young men, Of all voters who
wish to get done with the negro in
politics, of all who desire to recog-
nize accomplished facts, and who
see that the country imperatively
needs that other questions than
those relating to the rights of ne
groes, shall be discussed and set
tied, with out loss Of time. These
questions cannot come up until the
present issue is decided; until, by a
repetition of the defeat of-1S64, the
democrats are forced to accept re-
construction, as an accomplished
fact, and turn to other questions

GEN. MCPHERSON ON GRANT. The
gallant General MCPHERSON, who
fell mortally wounded before Allan
ia, Georgia, was for time men,
Der of Grants military family, and
served through the memorable
Vicksburg campaign as commander
of the Seventeenth Army Corps, has
left the following record, written
but short time before his untimely
death, of his opinion of our great
Captain, General Grant:
General U. S. Grant I regard as
one of the most remarkable men our
country. Without aspiring to be a
genius, or possessing those charac-
teristics which impress one forcably
at first sight, his sterling good sense,
calm judgment and persistency of
purpose more than compensate for
those dashing brilliant qualities
which are apt to captivate at first
glance. To know and appreciate
General Grant fully one ought to be
a member of his military family.
Though possessing remarkable re-
ticence, as far as military operations
are concerned, he is frank and affa
BILE, converses well, and has a pc
culiarly retentive memory. When
not oppressed with the cares of his
position, be is very fond of talking,
telling anecdotes, &c. His purity
of character is unimpeachable, and
his patriotism of the most exalted
kind. He is generous to fault,
humane and true; and steadfast
friend to those whom he deems
worthy of his confidence. He can be
relied upon in case of emergency.

A German Ge1ri1la Campaign Article.


A German Campaign Article.
The New York Criminal Zeitung,
a German weekly paper, which has
very large circulation among the
Germans of this country, contains
the following article in its last is
sue: ..5
The Presidential campaign, as far
as the north is concerned, is no very
passionate one till now, although
some newspapers are not free of ut
terances of ire. The quiet of the
North is chiefly to be explained by
the uneasiness in the South, which
shows the North what duty it has to
perform There were indeed in no
campaign more principles involved
than there is in the present one, and
nearly every person knows what to
do. If on one side are Wade Hamp
ton and Forest, and on the other
side Grant and Sheridan, no doubt
can rise, because the form of Frank
Blair is to be seen between both
sides. One party says, "Down with
Congress and its reconstruction D
while the other party wants to sup
port Congress in its national policy,
and to maintain its work andI com
plete it, Here they are threatening
a new civil war, while there we hear
the words, s'Let us have peace"
Here the disputing and doubling of
the obligations contracted by the
nation is stigmatized as crime,
while on the other side they openly
demand the breach of a solemn
promise. Under such circumstan-
ces it cannot be hard for q man to
set himself right, and there is no
cause for him to be. exasperated.-
Who likes Forest and Wade Hamp-
ton will join their company. Those
who had just enough of such per-
sons during the war, will keep away
from them. Who wishes the coun-
try most of all peace, will vote for
Grant and Colfax. Who thinks that
the interests of the country demand
new rebellion, renewed bloodshed,
will Join those who declare things
done and existing null and void, and
whose theory, if. executed, would
have no other meaning but civil war.
Quite as precise and naturally the
followers Of the different ideas about
the sanctity or nulity of a contracted
debt will separate from each other.
In all these questions there is so
little room left for mistake, and the
principles are so plain that it would
be foolish to treat of. subordinate
questions. ..~ .....-...... ....-.rs
We believe that the majority OF
the people want peace. We believe
the country will not frivolously
squander what was won by so hard
struggle, and expose the ship OF
state to new storms. We believe
the people do not intend to restore
to power those persons who caused
the country so much misery. We
are convinced that the American
people will pay their debts exactly
as they were contracted. We, on
our part, patiently wait for the re-
suit of the campaign, and our only
wish is that the people might treat
with contempt those men who try
to desecrate the struggle for princi-
pie by personal attacks. We never
shall SANDER the private character
of Seymour or Blair, or deny the
merits of these men in their respect
i've spheres. But we expect and de-
mand that our adversaries in princi-
pies will show the same justice to
our candidates. The fair fight is
for men, the dishonorable one for
knayes.
