Tisb a President who sets an example Of

President Grant seems to delight in strife

and then in personal relations quarrelled

Nv own personal experience teaches
how futile Is the charge that il Horace
Greeley receives the Democratic vote,
therefore be becomes q Democrat, or
I,Dses under Democratic control. | was

Sellers and Democrats. Democratic votes
bslpel 10 make me a Senator from Massa-
chusetS, % they alsohelped 10 make my
excellent friend, Mr.. Chase, Senator from
Ohio, and will help to make Horace Gree
lev President. But neither Mr., Chase or
nyseliWas on thisaCcount less faithful as
4 Free soiler, and answering for myself l
know that never became Democratic or
hpsed under Democratic control. l do
not doubt that Horace Greeley will be
equally consistent. The charge to the
contrary SO yehemCntly repeated seems 10
reflect the character Of those who make
It, except that many repeat it by rote.
There Is common saying, principles
not men" and on this ground an appeal
is made for President Grant, feeling that
10 any personal comparison with Horace
Greeley be must fail. But a better saying

ing the remarkable movement which has
