making a speech at Mineral Point, Wis.
where he was on the 26,h of last month
Whether be has commenced the canvass

we are not prepared TO say. It is evi.
dent his tongue is not so tired rs the
veritable "'Lysseis,U and will wag a.
both ends, as will appear from the fol.
lowing correspondence Of the Cincinnati
Enquirer. It is dated May 9th:
On lest evenings train Gen. Grants
father arrived here at this city, and
when il vas known, "Rnd such things
are generally known in q very short
Time" the leading Radicals Of she CITY
came in, and were introduced 10 him,
and they were making s. great fuss over
him. At last the conversation turned
upon politics, and Gen. Grants father
said Gentlemen, there never was
such q nomination made Rs the enc the
Radicals have made in nominating my
son as President, and COlfax Is a very
good man for the position OF
/ Vice President" He said be was
glad that Ben Wade was not put in
Is Vice, for he bad not 8 bit of sense, and
talked too much, and would have BET
the means Of the Radical ticket losing
at least q hundred thousand votes in
Ohio-don't believe In letting negroes
vote says it is too much like trying TO
make them eqnal TO the whites, and said
the only reason he thought they ought
to have been freed for, was financially
and politically, not because they were
not in their place, for hs thought the
only place they were 1T we're as slaves,
for they are not able to take care of
themselves, aud he told q story to Illus
trate the fact. Said the only way they
would work and only WSy 20 treat them
was by using the whip freely. He thinks
the people viii be ashamed OF giving the
negro his freedom. He says Gen. Palmer
made q fool OF himself at the Cunven.
ton in his speech, He don't think much
Of Palmer or the plstform, lie said he
advised them to leave Niger out Of the
platform, for he told them IL they did
not they would be beat; and said one Of
the most disgusting things he ever wit
messed was the niger delegates at the
Convention st Chicago. II be had his
80 IN H01hA law &kEhEu kuEu QuG,
de sale never-nO, ~never-Would he be
willing for niggers to vote; he thinks the
more they are educated the worse IL Is
for them, and says he don't bsljeye in
educating them. He don't believe in
them voting in the South or euv Mace
else. They nave no civil rights at ali /:
this country was made to be ruled nv
white men and not niggers. thinks tha
Freedmen's Bureau the greatest swindie
the country ever saw. He said he
had seen the time when be had nothing
Ca eat, and the United States did moi
feed him, but he had TO wsTk or starye
And as long as they INDUCED the niger
in idleDess the longer they would have
TO and said II be had ten cents and il
would educate q Niger, he would throw
IL in the FIRE before they should have IT,;
says be thinks 1t will beat the General,
and will be glad If he is defeated.
The RAIDS kept putting Ia once In q
while, but the old gentleman would tell
Them he knew what be was talking
about It, He says they tFotted him out
on the front of the platform at the Con-
vention to show him of, and he knew
hog matters were. Before he Wss done
taking every one of the RAIDS had left,
and the old gentleman was talking to
Democrats.
The fact lie, what is bred in the bone
must come out Of the flesh, and in these
plain sayings Of the father, the opinions,
underlying all others, of the son, may
be understood, just az the horse talkr
of the lad, as dilated upon in the biogra-
ply, has kept pace with the maturing
years Of Grant, the retieent, rs contra
distinguished from Grant, the loqua-
| cions.
