Reasons for OPHOsanB
.rh.t hold. bad man. General Grant, 10 e.'
s;a.,. for reelection to the Presidency, ana 'ne
,,,,estv and patriotism Of the nation have oo''-
,.;n.d to save the country from his fafsi po"e''
.u.ong the forcibe reasons urged again'. n''"'
o,s the following, which ought to De s"'N'''"' ~
convince all sensible men: ,,.,..--.
He ei.a military chieftain. Military cn'e'-
t.us are dangerous to the liberties Oh tne people,
-, hen the liberties Of the people are in
-. Th. hu.iness of military men is to fight
Politicians .bould enjoy the fat Offices
!, W. want peace. Therefore, We must rePn-
A.. nan who conquered and has maintained
peace. .,.; .o,a
arms TO France, and Germany denies it, and an
;nvestiratiug committee Of the Senate say the re-
,,, !. slanserous, when Carl Schurz says Grant
Gid do it.
Grant refuses to acknowledge that Tom
urrnbr i. n thief, when committee, after thor
-,,h ;rv.stiuatiop. ascertained that he was not a
thief.
S. Grant has refused TO kncel to sumner 10
ask him to dictate the policy of the Aum'h's''"-
t;eu and to control the Government patronage
6. Grant has sorely disappointed norae ol
politicians who thought that he was military
man, ignorant of politics, and that all they nao
to do, was to step in and run the machine
2 Itis positiyc,y ascertained that Grant once
voted the Democratic ticket. Therefore, Demo
crafts should repudiate him, and support man
xbo never d;srraced himself by voting the Dem
ocratic ticket.
8. Grant insists upon taking recreation wheh
official bu.ipess does not press; and refuses 10
crafty his opponents by killing himself
o Grant actually appointed his own father to
, post-of.ice The fact that no other man ever
occupied the Presidential chair while his father
v.. living. does not mend the matter
10. Grant has appointed his wifes cousin 70
,a,c. and permits his fatherin-law to reside IN
hi. family. A man who will not kick his fafheI-
;n-law ont of doors, is not fit to he President
Even that honestand patriotic Democrat, OF saint
ed memory, James Buchanan never appointed
his wife's cousin to Office, nor perhi''e' "'' '''
ther-in-law to live with him.
n. Grant has appointed Gen. Longstreet to
office. and Mosby is one of his supporters Such
q man as that, cannot receive the support of Jcn'
Davis, the pirate Semmes, and the rank anu ME
of rebels and bushwackers.
IL Grant has received presents. A man VINO
has friends able to give presents, or WHO mas HUI
got the back bone to insult those friends and re-
fuse the presents, is not safe man for President.
Z. 13. But omitting ten Thousand other good rea-
sons, We come to one which mention with re-
luctance. 1t is the last one ont, and the most
dsmning one of all. Unless his friends disprOve
it, this alone will insure his defeat. He was seen
to buy paper of newsboy, and actually received
the change which offered him, although the
boy clearly indicated by his looks and actions
that lie would like to keep it all!
