The wear and tear of this campaign

made by the lash of the party whip in
the hands of vindictive "drill sergeants, y

For the present, can only say with the
Chicago Tribune that, General Grant
having been re elected president for the
term of four years, it is the duty of all
good citizens to accord to his ldministra-
ton candid consideration and impartial
justice in the same measure that they de-
mand these in return. The verdict of the
American people is the decision of the
last court ofappeals until the time comes
to make an new appeal Meanwhile, vi
tuperation on the one hand and vindic
tiveness on the other will be equally out
of place, and will assursdly cost more
