A Terrible Playing Of Grant.
ST. LOUIS, July -. At the Liberal Republi-
can M citing, at the Temple tonight, called for
the purpose of electng a County Executive
Committee, Senator Schurz delivered a very
lengthy and elaborate address, of which the
following is an outline
POLITICAL REVIEW.
Standing before my constituents, | deem it
my duty to give an account of nv publ con-
duct the motives which have governed it, and
the ends 1t is intended to subServe. [ can do
this IN no better way than by expressing fully
and frankly my views on the events which have
produced the extraordinary situation of our
public national afars-evens in which took Il
small part; and also to state what consider it
my duty as patriotic citizen to do in order to
promote the best interests of the Republic. 1t
has been my misfortune to dispease many with
whom | co-operated IN the political field for
many wears, and from whom find myself with
great regret separated. TO the attacks with
which some of them endeaYor to overwhem
me, have but one answer. He then reiterat-
ed what he has previously said about never
considering his party the supreme arber of his
sense of duty. He then said When I was
honored with Il seat in the Senate of the United
States, expected to support the AdminiSr;t-
ton which then came into power.
WHAT SHOULD HAN F. BEEN DONE.
The tasks it called to perform were of
unusual importance The civil war was over,
Its logical results. the abolition of slavery and
the organization OF free labor society IN the
South, were lust being reduced to n political
form and mbedded in the constitution of the
Republic. The first great object of our policy
should have been to renationaliZe the South; to
revive among the Southern people feeling cal
| culated to attach their hearts again to the for
tunes of this Union. For let Us not indulge in
the deusion that the holding together by force
/ Of lis component parts is Il basis upon which Il
! Republic can safely rest or long endure 1t re
| quircS a bond which binds together the hearts
| Of the people. and not their bodies only. To
create that bond was for Us the highest object
/ Of craftsmanship. He then referred in detail 10
| the different acts of the Administration party
| going over the ground trayersed by himself and
| others in the Senate.
SAN DOMINGO.
| In regard to the San Domingo matter he
made the following statement: When the San
| Domingo scheme was pending two gentlemen
in intimate relations with the White II use
came 10 me, each one separately. soliciting my
support of the project. They assured me that
| if would give that support or abstain from op-
| position. AL the patronage desired would be
ii my disposal, making me in thar respect one
| of the most influential men in the land. one of
| these gentlemen subsequently admitted to me
! /" writing, that tho offer was lnt,ic with the
| ,,"',>ch! ~ Wy ic>iutht hililsefl: ne sald ne
| had withheld this statement a long tme in
| spite OF many provocationS, and mad il now
only because, a> the papers have recently stat
ed, the President himself put forth the a~Scr-
! non III a published interview that he tSchurI)
/ had opposed him because he had not received
n much patronage rs he wanted. He then
| dwelt upon the abuses of patronage and the
eNliS OF the cVll service, stating that there never
was time when the latter was more like i
thoroughly drilled and disciplined organization
Is 1,IlI,i
was more shameessly overruled by political
eNl%ency.
