who Elected Grant.
[From the Cincinnati Eaquirer.J

lfrona Me Cincinnati Enquirer.
Editor Of Enquirer : Is it true that major
ity of the white men in the United States voted
for Horace Greeley for. President at the late
election Upon Statement have SO said, but
it has been several times contradicted by
Grant men. Will you give us the proofs
yi #a@ INQUIRER.
We will, with pleasure The ''proofs" are
these: The majority for General Grant on the
pupular vote will vary but little from 600, 600.
That majority is made up of whites and ne
groes. In 1870, by the United States census
there were 4,390,009 negroes in the United
States. There must be now over 5000, 600 of
them. We poll in Ohio one vote to every five
Inhabitants. In Indiana it is one to every four
and a fraction. We may safely assume that
one out of every five negroes has voted. But,
for the sake of argument, we will estimate
their vote at 100000 Of that vote Mr.. Gree
ley did net receive more than $4,000, and we
doubt if he had 10000 The majority
Of Grant on the negro vote was certainly more
than 100000, or 100000 mere than his vote
over Greeley. General Grant, therefore, goes
into the Presidency condemned by majority
of the white voters of the country. He goes

always satisfactory to his patrons, and his

consequence, whicliis one of the best evidences
Of his giving general satisfaction. Give him a
