No obsefvi man win attempt to gain
say the assertion that the influence Of the
York Hefald Is one OF the most potent
-agencies that compelled the republican par
E 10 nominate Gen. Grant for President.
The Herald has been the constant and un-
wavering friend OF Grant from the battle Of

nepotism that has characterized the acts Of
the President has disgusted even the Scotch
stomach of Bennett during the first six
weeks of the new administration. In the

After narrating the quarrels among the

cludes:
