pent Grant indicate the utmost uneasiness
and anxiety at the enthusiasm which has so far charac-
terized the proceedings Baltimore. They see plainly
from their own point view, that il Grant is reelected
IL must be by the hardest kind Of uphill work There
are many occupying high Federal positions VINO are can
did enough to admit that the chances Ior OreoeJ III"

elect the Prescription Ring candidates and thereby pro-
duce a moral effect the South against Greeiey'
