GRANT SHOULD BE
REELECTED.
CONTINUED.


a. Because President Grant, schooled
III manual labor aud a workngman him
sell, was alive, from the first, to the i'm.
portance Of this eight hour law, and Of
tue immense influence its legal enactment
by the government, would exercise in pri
Eate workshops, corporations, farms, and
the whole country. lie sanctioned it with
ZEAL and when on some of the public
works. though only eight hours labor
day was eXacted, the price of two hours
work was withheld, he interposed, May
-, 1869, in a proclamation to prevent
such reduction. On other instances of the
abuse being brought TO his notice, he
again stretched forth the executive arm
to protect the laborer, and on Nav II, Of
the present year, he issued another proc
lamation, which has effectually, and in all
its significance, established this reform for
every employee Of the Government.
WORK NGMEN.
rs. Because President Grant never al
ludes TO the worl1ingman without a ten
der appreciation and kind recognition,
which shows how deeply he regards his
interest. This is repeatedly maai ested
in his messages, where the "laborcr," the
"freedlnan," the "tiller of the soil" the
pioneer" { he "actual settler" are all con-
sidered in terms of condemnation, wise
measures are proposed for their benefit,
and honest industry and hard handed toll
are awarded the honor and regard they
deserve. agriculture" he says: "agrl
culture is the ground work of our pros
perity." II Henry ~ wished that "every
peasant in his kingdom had q chicken in
his pot each Sunday Tor his dinner"
Grant not only a01steS but does his utmost
to make every workingman free holder,
an Educated citizen, and as one Of the PEG
pie, a sovereign.
rs. Because the Republican party
through the eleventh resolution Of its
National convention, identified itself as
the party Of the workingmen, and as The
party which gives due honor and dignity
to labor and TO capital, the above men
toned resolution says: Among the Ques-
tions which press for attention is that
which concerns the relations OF capital
and labor, and the Republican party rec
ognizes the duty of so shaping legislation
as to secure full protection, and the am

GRANTS CIVIL QUALIFICATIONS.
w. Because President Grant, during the
three years Of his administration, has ex-
hibited qualities and capacity as a civil
ruler which may we'll be compared with
his transcendant military abilities, and
have made him alike,in war and in peace,
an Invaluable protector and conservator of
the rights of all classes and the liberty Of
the whole country.
rs. Because his excellence as a Civil
Magistrate, his safe, -conslderate, humane,
judicious, and progressive political views
are strikingly manifested in his Inaugural
Address and the Annual Messages he has
transmitted to Congress. In these
thoughtful and weli-considered papers he
says that con all subjects shall have a
policy to recommend, but none to enforce
against the Will of the people y that "the
laws are to govern all alike" that he
promises rigid adherance tothe laws
