THE EFFECT OF SCHURZ'S SPEECH
on the minds Of all those Wits who nave con
versed. Even the ladies' have taken interest enough
In politics to take sides and engage in controversies
regarding the merits or defects az the Presidential
candidates. Many or the distinguished men, whose
opinions are worth having. look upon the ques-
ton as choice between two evils. GEN.
eral Duncan S. Walker, the gallant son of3an
iiluStrlOus father, that he considers himself
fortunate In belonging to the District OF Columbia,
and being thus relieved of the dismf necessity Of
choosing between Greeley and Grant. He remarked
that he feels about the two candidates the Irish
woman felt when she saw her husband, who was in
the habit OF beating her, engaged In desperate
struggle with bear. She shouted, go ii, hus-
band go 1t bearl" She would lain see them tear
each other, as the General. would like to see the
two candidates.
Mr. Chauncey Depew looks upon Schurzs speech
as the grandest effort OF that Senator ami one
which Is likely to have an influence upon the coun-
try. Mr.. Depew, though not actively engaged in
politics. Is now one OF the shining lights OF the
Greeley party. He, who did so much towards the
election OF President Grant in 1865 now makes no
secret of his profound aversion to seeing MIN re-
elected for another term.
