From Carl iShurz' Chicago Speech.
Tie Shameless Administration of Fres.,
dent Grant.
"Never before in the history of the
United States was there an admins
tration so utterly shameless as that of
General Grant. Never before were
the public conscience and the public
sense Of decency so ignominiously in
suited. Never before had we Presi-
dent so Indifferent to right and wrong
that he could appointa convicted bribe-
taker to high office under his admins
tration, and not only keep him in pow
er after his true character had been
revealed, but promote him to other
places of distinction when he could
gain still greater riches by similar acts
of venality and fraud. ~ Y. Sun.
Grant and the Bayoaset Law.
''I supported General Grant solely
to finish up reconstruction by the rati-
fcation of the Fifteenth Amendment.
This done, [ was done with him =
Nearly my whole active life has been
devoted to establishing the anti princi-
plies now engrafted upon the. Consti-
tuition. The victory being won, I
have no taste for securing the field to
rifle the slain The slavery contro-
versey is ended, and the Republicans
will find that they cannot construct
Presidential platform out Of debris of
demolished rebellion, nor elevate the
negroes into undue prominence on the
points of FEDERAL bayonets. ."-H. B.
Stanton.
SIS it possible we are to be put down
by the Government we have sustained ?
If that be the case, the sooner this
Government is torn down and a mon
archy built upon its ruins the better"
Senator Pinch5ecE, Of LOUIS
lana.
LET Grant, then, and the Military
Ring retire into their proper sphere,
and let the Government come into the
hands of statesman who know what
they are doing. Ispeak plainly upon
these subjects, because 1 believe that
the attempt again to impose Grant
upon the country will be fatal to the
Republican party, if not ruinous to
the Republic. ."-Cassius II. Clay.
You can't govern this people with
the bayonet. Whenever it comes to
that, the Republic is failure, and we
had better confess it. Better have
fifty fights at the polls than to have
the bayonets there. Governor GeGry
Grants Bayonets at Ne,o Orleans.
"The outrage at New Orleans,
whereby United States troops were en-
ployed against the delegates favoring
the blatant demagogue, Governor
Yarmouth, deserves the prompt at
tention of the administration, and the
summary punishment of all the Fed
eral officials responsible for the dis
graceful transaction. Boston Trans
cript.
cit is such an infamous case as new
er before happened on this continent,
and such an example should be made
of the participants that it should be
the last one. Chicago Post.
Grant aUW not Die Poor Han.
Jefferson died poor, and Monroe
was indebted to charity for the stone
that bore his epitaph. To think of
our President dying poor! Let the ad
mirers of Grant rest assured that no
such calamity awaits his final exit, if
it can be averted by the laying in Of a
large supply of lands, tenements,
houses, bonds, stocks, plate, horses,
carriages, and other valuables, the
gifts of grateful Office holders, and of
hungry expectants who await his re
election to thrust their hands into the
treasury. IN Y. Sun.
