Opinions of the Press


From the Cincinnati Gazette,
And now we have had anot Ter turn
of opposition to Grant, and another ex-
of the power of popular senti-
ment. Leaders once trusted arrayed
themselves against Grant. He was
most bitterly assailed, not only by his
political opponents, but by many who.
had been prominent in the Republican
party. Newspapers have been unspar-
ing in their criticisms, and many of
them have been reckless in their abuse
Investigating committees to the num-
Der of twenty were appointed for the
purposesOf breaking down hisadminis-
tration, and even his family were not
exempt from the vulgar attacks of his
relentless opponents; but his accusers
have been driven into disgrace, and so
completely has all opposition TO him in
the Republican party vanished that no
candidate was named at Philadelphia
in opposition to him, and every vote in
that large and representative body was
cast for U. s. Grant. This is the work
of the people, as was the denomination
of Lincoln in 1854, and the first nomi-
nation of Grant in 1868. Politicians
HANCICu Ou dl1 SllIO0 OCCdosOIicf oub uHC
people were firm, and so determined
and enthusiastic that at the final hour
no one dared to interfere 10 prevent the
leonsummation of their Wishes In an
nouncing the nomination of Grant,
then, we have merely to say that the
people did it. 1t is not the work of
political traders, but the work of the
honest masses. 1t will be received as
such everywhere. throughout the Ma
tiOn, and will be confirmed at the polls
| in November. se f9a d iar -,
The st. Louis Democrat says p"By
the denomination of Grant, the Phila-
delphia Convention has recorded the
deliberate judgment of the masses ol
| the Republican party. Proof against
/ the assaults Of his enemies, Grants un'
4 animous Endorsement is a fitting re
lsponse to the malignant vituperation o.
this Senatorial detEactors. The mer
who have been conspicuous as his as
Esailants, while undufy magnifying theil
i own influence and Importance, have
Igreatly underestimate the nation'sap

nomination of Grant will be hailet
1with an enthusiasm akin to that which
'lthrilled the nation when the shatteree
hopes of rebellion laid down their arm
lat Appomattox. The feelings o
Egratitude which thenswelled the bosom
of the people will now find expression
and while politicians Twill be taugh
khow little the people care for their per

Mr.. Edward Watts, well known
citizen residing ut No. 90 Hazard
street, tells a very remarkable story
about couple Of English bull ter
riers that he. owns and prizes very
highly. Lie says, and Office Coombs
of the Fourth Station vouches for the
truth of the story, that one day la-t
week he had occasion to 60 frcm his
house TO Portland street., a good
mile, for the purpose of paying a
SIN I'll bill. Arriving ut Portland
street with the dogs, he met the man
he wished to see on the sidewalk,
and there paid the bill, a. the time
dropping so bill on the curb stone,
though he knew nothing about il
| Till his arrival home, some two
hours aftcrward, aud after calling at
several places OH his way home.
finding this so bill gone, he took
his dogs and started back, calling at
the places he visited on his way
home. On reaching Sudbury street
hc called his deg jess, showed him
= $50 bill, booked aboutas if hunting
Tor Il, bdtold the dog to "fsmell it
ou'.o' FThe dog then started of with
his nose to the grouad in front Of his
master, and pushing around into
Portland street, where they had been
before, and where the bill was paid,
he stopped, poked about the dirt
vi It'll bis iiose and in few minutes
ran up to his master with the lost $50
bill in his mouth. Thai looks like a
very tough story, but if truthful
men are to be believed then is this
story true.
