Now, what is President Grants great
offense? He had three men on his staff
during the war; he was made PresideIt,
and they were detailed to got o the White
House, and got no pay for it. and helped
President Grant to do his work, and that
saves SO much 70 the public treasury.
That is all there is about it.
Now, my Republican friends, do you
think yau ought to retire to Cincinnati
becaue sPresident Grant has got a couple
of his aids at Washington? Are men

gerous men? =,

friend of mine, but l must say that he

gerous speech. He tells us that we have

Well, gentlemen, | stood up, for one, in

FRIDAY MORNING, April 26, 1877;
WHO IS

Those who object to President
Grant as a candidate for reelection by
the Republican party repeatedly as
ssert that the friends of the Admins
tration are responsible for the division
in the Republican party; that by
their persistence in advocating the
claims of their favorite they o~stracize
all those who .are in favor of another
candidate. This is entirely a mistake,
and those who use the assertion as a
semblance of excuse for their acting
against the party are aware of its
falsi.y. Nine-tenths of the Republi-
can party, at the very least, favor a
second term of present Admin
istration. They look back at the
three years last past of faith
full and successful management Of
the affairs of Government Oh the
sound principles of Repubiicanism,
and they arc we'll satisfied that our
Government is safe in the hands
of one who has so faithfully admin
istered it heretofore. The National
Republican party Is called upon to
make a nomination at Philadelphia in
June. Do the opposers of Grant in
tend to make an effort in that convcn-
tion to defeat his nomination? No.
They call a Liberal" and a ere
form" mass meeting at Cincinnati in
May, for the purpose of-what
Their object will be to nominate q
quasi Republican whom Democrats
can support, upon a platform which
will embrace all varieties of princi-
pies and interests; an insinuating doc
ument tecmiHg with glittering gcncr-
%alities, but meaningless in every sense
except that it is a bid for Democratic
votes to defeat a party which has stood
by its principles in more trying times
than the present, and is not disposed
to dcsett them now. If, then, the
great majority of Republicans favor
President Grants reelection, is it moi
the province of those few disafrected
oncst to urge their objections at The
Philadelphia Convention, and if theil
counsels doinot prevail, to quietly sub
nit to the personal preferences o
ten times their number who are a
least.as patriotic::and honest as the at
PENDANTS at the Cincinnati meetin:

, only honest course for them to pur

they alone assume the responsibility

licans the responsibility for the pres
