LARGE LOSSES OF VOTERS TO THE GRANT
TTCKET


We have spread before our readers al
vices from various parts of the country
showing that the intolerablo cruelty Of
Grant to innocent parties the sect or Isra.
elites has lost him that large element Of 70.
ting population. 1t seems that other por.
tons Of christian and enlightened society
oppose his election. A writer in the Church
Union speaks of Grant as follows;
"Gen eral Grant is not fit man for christian
to support. Here now is this specchless
sphyn&, euyeIoped in a cloud Of tobacco smoke
"A silent, stubborn man Of the world. Suppose
he takes it into his head to convert his four
years grant OF power into life lease, or any
other Whlm lie has the army at his command
and every evil influence, too in the land will
support him. We DO not say this will be- but is
IT proper for christian men to give over the cx-
G cutIve power of this nation into such hands"
From a radical German source we are
able to copy an equally savage assault upon
the radical candidate. A German paper
called The Future, published at Indianapo.
lis, is the organ Of large body Of that ma.
tionality who have heretofore acted with the
radical party. This paper now styles Grant
smoking, whisky.suppinq, know.nothing-
istc shoolder,strap wearer,' and proceeds
under four separate headings, to explain
why 1t cannot give the "no.polcy" caudi.
date its support
Two of those reasons are expressed as
follows:
70, 3. We will not vote for Grant, because the
thicaso platform is not u forward, but a retro
grS4e STEP. We will here only call attention 10 |
