Of Our object is to initiate a Conserva-

prominent Conservatives in Washington,
he had found them TO be unanimously in
favor of Grant. He did not know why
this should be so, because they had all ia
ken ground against the measures of the
Radical party. The very men whom the
Conservatives had put into power in this
State had gone teeth and ioe-nail against
all the measures Of the party. We put
these people into power because we
thought the Radical party was going into
extremes, and where are we now? Docs
any man in the Democratic party give any
credit or chance to any man who has ever
been in the Unien party? Our course as
Conservative men was intended 10 bring
about spirit of cancellation. We knew
that these people had been wronged. and
we said that they were never out of the
Union. Let us Try and bring back these
Southern people. Wemust begin to night

this city that we are of no account? We
have been of some account, and must show
that we are still.

vote for Grant. and never would vote for
