The Close OF the Campaign-The Prospect
Fnvors General GRANTS Election.
The Presidential campaign is drawing to
close. This day and one more and then the
all-important day Of the election will be upon
rs. Before the day-dawn of the 4th Of Novem-
Der the news of the peoples choice will be
borne upon the wings of the lightning to the
four quarters Of the globe. and before the sun
sets at any point within reach Of the telegraph
the great fact that General Grant has been
chosen to succeed Andy Johnson will be

son has saved US in keeping open this question
of reconstruction and all these reconstruction
outrages Of Congress, and upon these things,
even with copperhead ticket, il you please,
we shall be able to follow up the elections Of
1867, and give new term Of life and new
lease of power to the democratic party. But
tell you the escape Of johnson was our saliva
ton.
In the Tammany ticket and resolutions We
have the evidence that this idea of success
from bold and decided stand against the re-
