Why Grant hates the Jews.

IF Grants hatred of the Jews was a mat
ter of speculation once, it is so no longer.
The courts OF CINCINNATI have furnished
the best of evidence in the case, and a
wandering public can satisfy its Ecuriosity
by simply reverting to the records, 1t
appears that while the Mongrel candidate
for President was in command Of the army
of the Southwest, then stationed at Ok
ford Mississippi one of the greatest cot
ton regions in that State, that Jesse r..
Grant, the supposed pater fam'llias of the
gentle Ulysses, conceived the idea of max
ing a fortune as a trader. Accordingly
he entered into an agreement with a firm
in Cincinnatti-Mack & Bros, Jews-to
secure for them certain amount OF cotton
at certain figures. Old Jesse knew that
his promising son, who had rode the mule
in the circus and let the monkey ride
him, had command of armies, and could
pass his dad, if be so desired, into the re-
gions of "rebels" and riches without any
trouble and with plenty of backing. So
getting together a parcel of medicines
needed by tie Confederates, with several
car loods of government provisions and a
pass furnished by Ulysses, he started on
his cruise for cotton. He succeeded

ii. 10 the meantime the price went up,
and Mr.. Grant Sr. concluded that the
firm in Cincinnati should allow him ad-
vance in the market price. This they re-
fused to Go, and in order to compel them
to accede to the demands of the old
man, " Mr.. Grant Jr., or rather Lieuteu-
ant General Ulysses Hiram Grant, Mon
greI candidate for President, threatened,
that unless they divided spoils farl y, that
he would issue an order expelIing "the
Jews as a class from the lines of his
army. The Messrs. Mack refused to give
more th an they bad contracted to, and
Grant made good his threat by issuing his
infamous order driving the Jews as class
out of bis army. Jesse r. Grant entered
suit against the Cincinnati firm, and
some two weeks since the case, came up
for trial, from the records OF which these
facts have been cleaned.
In this case our readers can see the
character of the Mongrel candidate for
President in about as clear a ight as pos
sibIe. A General who would steal the
rations Of his own troops and give them
to his father, to trade to the foe for cotton
to speculate upon, and who would make
war upon an entire class Of respectable,
worthy citizens, because couple of them
would not allow himself and his father to
fleece them. is certainly fit candidate for
party that he's stole the country poor,
and now seeks a longer lease of power, in
order that ii may have an opportunity to
take the little that is left as private prop
erty. If the people of this country think
that this man-whOse mind centres en-
tireIy on bitch pups and wh!skey bottles,
and whom the records Of our courts prove
used his position as commander OF armies
to enable his own family 10 trade and trat-
fIc with the enemy--is fit to fill the posi-
ton that has been honored by " ash
ington, a Jefferson, Jackson and Mon
roe, let them vote for him. They deserve
to be cursed with just such an admnistra-
lion as he will give them, if they have no
more honor, no more respect Tor their
country, or NJ more love for the right
than TO vote for man who has no more
appreciation of honor and justice than has
