between Mr.. A. I. Stewart, chairman Of the
Grant committee, and Judge Pierrepont will
b found In another column. The Judge shows
how his attention, a. . war democrat, has been
arrested by the revolutionary declarations Of
the democratic leaders, and how he has become
convinced that the present contest Il between
the friends and the enemies Of our government.
The Columbus (0hio) Statesman states, "a
slightly inebriated Hiberian marched msjesti-
cally up to the West Front with Frank Blair,
yesterday, shouting, "Up with the white man -
even tramp the naygur under our feet - and

claimed. "Where arc the revolutionists 7" this
impudent member Of the faithful aock yelled
out, "IIere We are, General -
wormad and O'Baldwin, two Pennsylvania
rougbs, fought yesterday We presume IS agreed
upon. Tuesday was originally fixed upon as
the day and was 80 published; but the Phila.
delphia Democrats went to the leaders and by
dint Of persuasion and liberal use Of money,

Grant has not made many speeches that can
be quoted, but he has managed to shy some
things that are interesting indications just now.
Thus he said to Sherman in 1852: ~ caro-
nothing for promotion 80 long As our arms are
successful" This was patriotic and disinter-
sstsd. He said to Gen. Halleck the same year
and month. ''If my course Is not satisfactory.
remove me once. do not wish to impede
the. success Of our arms" This was not less
noble. He said to Mr.. johnson In 1867: "This
Is q republic, where the will Of the people Is
the law Of the land" This Is higher states
manship than Andy ever reached. He said to
the citizens Of Memphis that "Human liberty

own to interposo against the will Of the people.
This Is good sense and safe announcement.
Other like statements may be called to some de-
gree from his remarks at various times. There
is this about them that whilo they are not
numerous, all are sensible and correct. 80
much cannot be said Of the verbose deliveries Of
his reluctant competitor, nor Of the utterance Of
many who consider themselves profound states
men.
