My DEAR SIR when Frank Z.
Blair, who had no claim whatever on
the Democratic party, was nominated
in Tam .GRny Hall with such shouts
of applause, just after proclaimiug
that We must have President
who viii trSmple iuto dust the laws
of Congress aud when four rebel
generals made the chief ratification
| 'peeches in New York, my attention
as awar Democrat, was ARE sted by
his remarkable exhibition, Since
then I have carefully noted the ex-
preston Of Southern journals, and
the speeches of SOctbern politicians,
from Wade Hamptons on his return
to Charleston, to the recent man; ;iesto
Of b. ii. Hill, and | find that every
rebel in the ConiederOcy regards the
expected election of Seymour aud
Blair as complete vindioation Of
the rebellion, aud as certain to re-
store the South to every right which
she had before the war, including
"the trampliug iuto DUST 10y mill
tary feet, the proclamation Of free
dom aud the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution. This contest
presents well-de6ned issue between
the friends and enemies of our gov
erument. .tI..
| cannot conceive how any intelli-
gent man who does not wish the reb
els returned to power, the nations
faith violated, its debt ropudiated,
its name hishonored, its prosperity
destroyed, its patriots insrlted, aud
the "iost cause" restored, can vote
against Grant. tt ......It
In my Judgment, the election OF
Seymour aud Blair would, forthwith,
confuse aud paralyze our business,
aud reduce our property oue-half.
To aid in averting this calamity |
send you herewith twenty thousand
dollars 1920, ,0OO), which give to be
used in the election of Geu. Grant in
such manner as you and the commit
tees with whom you act may thiuk
best. I.....
Aud | remain, ever truly, yours,

The question is presented to the
people, whether they will aid iu
electing an administration bent upon
trampling loyalty into the dust and
elevating upon its ruins power con
trolled by rebel chiefs, whose motto
will be, THE rebellion vindicated," "
with prostration to every branch of
industry aud busines at the North F;
or whether we should place in the
Executive Mansion one emphatically
of the people, Who has never acted
but from just sense of duty to hi,
country, aud from whose administra
ton we will have all the blessings
that can flow from peace ip every
department. of our government, iu-
spring a confidence that can rot but
lead to prosperity and happipes as a
natioL, and promising for US future
unequaled in the history of the past.
To secure this result accept your
generous contribution, and will apply
it to such proper uses as may tend u o
bring about a result SO promising
