what purports to be defense Of tn order
Of Gen. Grant, e1pellng the Jews az q

the points in it.
1t is stated that Geo Grant has never

der them out OF the country Mark the DC.
suse which follows is defense Of kawIus,
who is ashamed Of i, not Of Grant, who ca.
dorses it fully.

persons principally Of the Jewlsh race,
Not entirely 20. Then why make dstlnc.
