The Nomination of General Grant.


The Chicago HerGid is an organ of
the Society of Friends. In other
words, it speaks the views of what is
known as the denomination of Qua
kers. This is q large and influential
society. 1t has its thousands-yea,
tens Of thousands-of voters. Here is
what the organ of this extensive re-.
ligions organization says Of Grant,
Toward General Grant we feel
nothing but friendship; we have no
faults to parade, or, rather, no desire
to parade his faults; no selfish inter-
ests TO subservPy no desire for the SD
premacy of this or that party, simply
for party's sake, but only strong and
abiding hope that our country will be
preserved, and the liberty we now en-
joy perpetpated forever. We regard
the nomination of General Grant as
an error he is solely military man;
has no reputation other than as q
General; has never had an OppOrtu-
nifty to display those talents necessary
or an executive to represent this great
| and growing Republic. Claiming to
| be Christian people, we have no re-
| gard for Christian representative in
our choice. Knowing that great
Republic like ours can only be main
tanned by the wisest legislation, and
needs the service of sgreat statesmen,
we yet hand it over TO schoOlboys in
experience and soldiers by profession.
That those who serve their country
well should be rewarded, we admit /;
but let us reward wisely. Because a
noble sailor should snatch us from a
watery grave, we would not feel
I hOup1 tn pmnlOU him aS Our phUSj-
clan, Yet the manner in which we
are handing this country to the sol
diers is nearly parallel. Far be il
from us To cast a slur upon soldier
simply because he has been soldier.
Nor will we crowd upon him offices oi

promptly resigned his position in the
army in 1864 after his nomination for

resignation took place after the cleo

SOLDIERS of Stark countv, let us
remember that the Democrats, as a
party, were continually, during the
rebellion, denouucing the war for the
Union as failure.-Stdrk County Re
publican. ...-
Well, is 1t not a failure? Has it
restored the "UniOn as 1T was ?' Is it
not manifest that the object of the
war was entirely Cor party purposes
for abolition and negro suffrage ?'' 1t
is now three years since the war was
closed and those States are not yet in
the Union. And they are only to be
admitted after negro reconstruction
by military force.
Is this what our gallant young mon
fought for? Did they fight for Negro
rule? Is this negro line, "the old
Union line9" The "boys" don't
think SO and hence large majority
are now with the White mans party.
