President Grant will be Re-nomi-
mated.


The New York Sun, paper that if
it has any political character, is of
a very miscellaneous kind, is loud in its |
SANDER and abuse of General Grant
and all the officials under his appoint
ment. The Sun does not profess to
be a Democratic paper, either, but no
Democratic paper in New York City is
more vile in it's abuse of the Admins
tration than the Sun. For weeks past
it has kept standing itaIicised para
graph in its columns, advising all vot-
ers to vote for the Democratic State
ticket, and on the morning of the cleo
ton it published what it termed. in
sensational head lines, Fourteen Rea
sons for Defeating the Republican
State Ticket"
The first of its reasons was that the
Republican State ticket was nominated
in the interests of President Grant
And again the Sun says:
Every high-mindetl and independ-
ent voter who is of the opinion that
Grants Office holders had better attend
to their appropriate duties, and let
State Conventions alone, should vote
against the Republican State ticket.
Everybody who is opposed to Cen
Grants nepotism, gift taking, neglect
of duty, and deadheadism of every
kind, ought to vote against the Repub
lican State ticket.
All opponents ofthe San Domingo
swindle. should vote against the ticket
nominated by Convention which was
presided over by one of Grants sup
pie San Domingo cmmissioners.
The denomination ofGen. Grant would
inevitably lead to such divisions in the
Republican party as would result in its
overthrow in the next Pre- silential con-
test. 1t is conceded on all hands that
if the Republican State ticket is beaten
to morrow, Grant will not be renomi-
mated. Therefore, every Republican
who desires the success of his party
in 1872, will, if he is wise, labor and
vote for the defeat of the Republican
State ticket to day.
The elections in New York have ia
ken place, and the result shows tha
the New York Sun is not a very pow
erful political luminary. From tn,
| quotations above it will be seen tha
the Sun assumed that if the Republican
State ticket should be defeated in Ney
, York, it was a fixed fact that Gran
would not be nominated for re elec
ton. But as the Republican Stat
ticket was elected, the Sun is satisfied
as everybody else must be, that til
administration of President Grant
popular with the sovereign people c
New York, as it is with the people c
} every State in the Union, and it is
: foregone conclusion that his re- nom
nation and re- election is an inevitabl
r result, and that, too, of the people
own preference. We know that som
people, as for instance, all the Demo
k cratic party from A. to z includin
f some disappointed sore heads of IL
It Republican party, find great deal
r fault with the Administration. tt
If Democrats, because they, as loyal su
IS jects of their party, are scrupulous
y bound to regard the behsets of the
prime leaders, and some of the Repu
'e licans find fault because they have be,
le. unable to have an inordinate desi
satisfied by serving the suffering pu
lie in some official position they we
u incompetent to Gil.
10 But the recent elections furnish u
~ mistakable evidence that the gala
as Captain of the United States Army,
o the war against the rebellion, has
lg warm place in the hearts Of the 10y
rs American people, and that his adm
ne istration has been one, thus far at lea
lg that they most heartily approve
" and that they are not to be driven frc
n the support and endorsement of g
ay liant soldier who has proved hims
VS. upon the field of battle, and in the T
he ecutive Chair OF the United Stat
re patriotic, honest, faithful, and equal
