To the Editor Of The Tribune.
SIR: l do not often write an article for the
press on any subject am in the ssth year Of my age
and am too old 70 use the political laboring The
friends or worshpers Of Gen. Grant denounce all those
who are not In favor Of his reelection and stigmatize
them as traitors TO the Republican party They falsely
charge them with trying TO Incorporate themselves with
the Democratic party for the sole purpose OF defeating
the election Of Gen Grant Their political creed Is that
no man can Republican who does not favor the re-
election Of Grant. Gen. Grant is entitled TO both honor
and profit for his services during the Rebellion and civil
war and be has received both He has been made Pres
idsnt and received presents from the Government and
individuals of than 100000 in value over and above
his salary Mr. Greeley has also served his country and
for more than years did TO build up and sustain
the Republican party than any other man or five men,
individually or collectively, in the United States.
Senator Wilson says he has made many political predc
tions all OF which with exception have proved to
be correct and he now predicts the reelection OF Cen
Grant. II his predictions are hereafter TO prove true
wish be would predict the election OF himself or some
other worthy person, 70 I'LL the Presidential chair
suppose 35 or 40 years older than Senator wilson
and have not been In the practice OF making political
predictions but will venture 70 make one now, ana
that s If Gen. Grant Is nominated for reelection II
will disrupt the Republican party, and he lie reelected
IL VIII produce the dsintegraon and destruction OF the
S tSrai @ or teRef for Gen Grant but cannot do so
again for that think eogent have been
voter in Ontario County for than GO years have
never sought for nor held any Office higher than that Of
Quincy Adams and Dewitt Clinton.
There il yet five months time for men 70 take sober
second Thought When they trust they will nd
some decent and profitable way Of defeating their
political opponents who are OF good character anI
standing as themselves, than abusing them.
