Is,t The use of my name as Chairman OF

I'M HIM to support. The administration
n Grant is at least entitled to the credit
\ having imperishably linked its name
M one Of the greatest achievements OF
In country, the adoption oil the Fifteenth
amendment which has given the right Of

bp universal peace with foreign govern.
uenls, 1t has faithfully applied the reVe.
bus to The payment Of the debt. From
N administration directed by Horace
Greeley, supported by John CoChrane and
PeutOi in New York, Mcclure in Penn
Iylysnis, Gratz Brown in Missouri, War
mouth in louisiana, Read in Florida, we
have the right 10 augur nothing but dis.
ss,er. An alliance between Tammany
aal Greeley, with Frank Blair as high
byyst conducting the march OF ceremo.
iis, means a Greeley scramble alter
b.aCe and rapid depletion Of all the

Ia considering the claims made on be.
hlIt Of Nr. Greeley to the support ofthose
who have been allied with the Republi.
c4l party in the abolition oil slavery, and
be seeking good government, we are led
b consideration Of the movement itself,
which ia anti.Climaxed in this nomination
BIS own opinion and participation in the
eTc1ti that led TO the movement, and his
whether as a wise, sagacious
Ald prudent statesman, or rs a whimsical,
c'ochety and erratiC dispenser OF Ill.con.

As to the movement itself, it originated
ID Missouri The desire for peace, recon-
t..4uonand amnesty expressed by SChurz
ID tue resolution adopted by the Chicago
ton7entlonin 1868, coupled with an aver.
ton to the growing tendency to use the
Republican party as u packhorse wherein
y saddle mOnopoliCS, Of which MIR. Gree.
Icy has been the foster father, led to re.
'0II in 1870 under the auspices of Schurz
S9d GFalz Brown. Against this revolt
Ali' Greeley most earnestly protested. On
tAe @2lot September, 1870, he said he
Agreed with President Grant "in consider
inS theGratz Brown movement IN Mis-.
8 Uni an effort to disorganize the Republi.
Saa patty without cause, which no good
Republican, who had the interests OF his
country aud the party ut heart, could
jail zgalOusIy TO combat" On Novem.
tI ~, 1870, he said that the real object
olIue movement was to hand the United
sAIes over to the sham Democracy and
I Ii,ce trade, and that was the naked truth"
now, the real object of the movement
iiailguFat.d atthe Cincinnati Convention,
Y is present platform, is 10 hand the
alIeG States over to the sham Democra.
!! ana iFee trade, Us the result Of a cor.
