The Grand Army of Connecticut
PronOunces for Grant for Pres
fdenf.
The Grand Army of the Republic in Con-
necticut, in State Convention on the 9Th,
unanimously passed a resolution favoring
General GRANT for the Presidency. There
is an effort being made to secure the sup
port of the soldiers for General GRANT, by
politicians, in the interest of the Republi-
can party in New Hampshire and Connect
icut. The annual State elections in those
States will take place before the Republi.
can National Convention meets. His boz
tom will be tried on the course there
before it will be de.ermined to put
him on the Presidential track. If he wins in
the March and April races, then will he be
entered for the Presidential race. He will
be compelled to carry heavy weights. He
must carry the corruptions, the profligacy
and the wastefulness of the Republican
party, the Africanization scheme OF Con-
gress-everything that is odious, corrupt
and Fevolutionary,int the Republican party.

the late war, and therefore deserves well Of
his country" may be suggested by some

holds . lucrative and honorable position
and that service secures him esteem in the
public mind that will endure. The people
l.begrudge him nothing, and are not dis
posed to be stinting in their praise sor rem

would look to him to command our armies;
