President Grant.


dent Of the United States by such q large major
i,y Of the votes Of the people OF the United
States, Il Is really wonderful to see what sum.
mersaul,s our friends Of the other side are
making. Before the election, according to dem.
ocrAiie Journals, Grant was - "butcher," Fan
extremist "a man who would proclaim him
" self Dictator, and lend himself wholly 10 the
" mad schemes Of the radicals" nolr by thr
same journals General Grant Is praised TO the
very skies. We are told that he is no radical.
but possessed Of very conservative tendencies
that he will be the President Of the people that
under his administration we may indeed look
Tor peace, and one Of our leading exchanges pre-.
diets that In four years from now the General
will have no opposition 10 his reelection We
are very glad 10 chronicle these evidences Of re-
turning reason upon the par, Of our opponents;
the traits Of character they now conecdc to Gen
Grant ART what VIZ have claimed for him all
through the campaign, aud We rrjoicc that even
this tardy justice Is being done our candidate ON
the part Of his opponents. To he sure the con-
version OF these journals to the support OF Grant
Is sudden ns IL is thorough, and as Grant since
his election, has promulgated no new theory,
nor marked cut any linc Of conduct Tor himself
diiirfen, from the straightforward course be- has
always pursued, we must conclude granting
the sincerity aor Of these dtlnocta,ic writers,
that ~hcn before the election, they denounced
Gran, 81 numerically, stismaiizing him as u
drunkard and butcher, aud conicndrd that h-
had not mind enough lo administer the affairs

against him
