THAD. STEVENS has written a letter to
friend at Lancaster, Pa, dated the Goth
ult, in which he comes out for Grant
and Wade as the Radical candidates for
President and Vice President. He SAYS
As to the candidate for the President |
presume you will all agree that none other
than Gen. Grant is to be thought of. Hon
est, firm, well indoctrinated in principle,
without ostentation, and without pride,
do not see how better selection can be
made. His judgment of men is so sound
that l have full faith that he will call
around him the ablest and purest men of
the nation. With Grant and Wade to
guide and defend US, this nation in four
years will have acquired a prosperity
which will be the wonder of the world.
Universal freedom maintained by univer-
sal suffrage on this continent cannot fail to
have that effect.
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier says Stevens letter
indOrsing Grant for the Presidency was
unexpected, and that lie is by no means
old Thad's choice This is simply a
stroke of expediency on the part of old
Thad.
