EN-Congressman AxteII for Grant VI.
:. Hon. Samuel b. Axtell, formerlya DEM
ocratic member Of Congress from Califor-
MIA, has recently been visiting Morristown,
N. j., and in the course of conversation
with a personal friend, said that he had de-
termined, after mature elaboration, to give
his influence and vote to General Grant in
the present contest. He could not but re-
gard the election of Greeley as calamity
to the country, and he could not feel salts
fed, as citizen having deep interest in
its prosperity, to simply occupy a negative
position and refuse to vote. He had oppor-
tunities to know something of General
Grant, and he believed him to be,
thoroughly honest, upright and sincere man
infinitely preferable every way to Gree
ley. Mr.. Axtell is man Of large influence
and great personal popularity in his adopt
ed State, having been twice elected to Con-
gress from the San Francisco district, each
time by majorities of about 5,000-a dis
trict which, both before his candidacy and
since, has been carried by the Republicans.

Hon. Con rad Moser, Jr.,, of Buffalo
county, Wisconsin, legislator of consid-
cradle experience, and, as has been claimed
BY Greeley papers, . the leader of the
German Stampede in this country" has
writtenia letter in which he renounces the
fellowship of the sham Reformers, and
says: \" Although have been warm
sympathizer Of the reform movement, es-
pecially of the one term principle, yet on
looking over the whole ground, and after
mature deliberation upon the principles,
the men, and the circumstances surround
ing them, and which are involved in the
present political struggle, have determine
ed to adhere to the Republican party and
its nominees. Hon. Orlando Brown, State
Senator from the same district, has also
falsely been claimed as an adherent to
Greeley Hcis advocating the reelection
of President Grant. Hon. Scion II. Clough,
Judge of the Northwestern circuit, who
was likewise claimed, and whose name was
even placed upon the Greeley State Central
committee, has written a letter, declaring
his firm adhesion to the Republican party,
and to Grant and Wilson, its popular and
worthy nominees. t9finEla
"a Gen, James r. Wilson on Grant
In his eloquent speeclpat Fairfield, Iowa,
Gen. James f. Wilson said 81 have en-
tered on no defense of President Grant. He
does not need it. u LIDO not claim that he
has made, no mistakes; but l do assert
that such as he may have made do not se-
riously affectthe public interests. He has
done as we'll in his high office as any man
would have done. He is a patient, able,
plodding man, who neglects no trust and
betrays no confidence. Let those
who can point to deeds of their
own as great as his criticise
him. Let drones and failures be silent.
What man has done constitutes the true
by which to try him. Take
Grants history for the last twelve years,
and you may safely challenge the world to
match it. The storm Of malignant men
dacity which has burst upon him, will
spend its fury in vain. The people of this
country, gratefully remembering his great
services, will see to his safe deliverance.
The American people are not ungrateful.
November will prove this by the reelection
of Grant. "-TG5d aal I'D ia.s sa, .,.g
A Minnesota, Democrat, late Candidate for
Governor, Repudiates Greeley and Declares
FOR GrantLThE Il
Hon. Il, 0. Hamlin, a life long Democrat,
late Democratic candidate for Governor of
Minnesota, has written a letter denouncing
the action of the Baltimore convention and
declaring his intention of voting for General
Grant. Judge Hamlin says:
u II find myself, then, in the position, SO
far as my humble influence goes, of being
Obliged to indorse and sustain what in my
Judgment is shameless, barter of time-hon-
ored principles for the hope of power, or to
endeayor to secure defeat Of this movement,
in the only manner left to me by which /
can use my vote and influence against it. l
regard the lesson which will be taught by its
defeat as of far more consequence than the
displacement ofone Republican-of ateast
grand military history, and whose admins
tration has certainly been a financial sue
cess for the mere substitution of another,
whose political views upon questions in
velvipg the very life of the nation in the
past give but little promise for the future of
consistent and stable action in the Presi-
dental chair. wa 7h
AS between these two Republican candi-
dates, much prefer the man who possess
cs the dignity of silence beneath the most
bitter ard audacious personal calumnies,
to political gymnast who, having hereto
fore regulated his life by the wish that /" it
might be written on his tomb that he was
never the follower of the Democratic party,
and lived and died in nothing its debtor"
now astonlshes the world by accepting
place upon a platform of principles which
are at once "incontestably Republican and
emphaticaly Democratic" iae41
