Republicans make clean sweep.
The majority in Ohio, it thinks,
will be from Is, 900 to 10000 Republi-
can. Thirteen Republicans are elected
to Congress to seven Democrats.
Indiana is surely Republican, but
the majority win be small. They lose

: We see the following paragraph

going round in the columns of the
Democratic newspapers:
Colfax wrote in 1868: There are
sixteen weighty reasons why Grant
should never be President" And
those reasons have been increasing in
weight and number every day since.
Everybody who knows Mr.. Celfaz
personally knows this paragraph to
be a black hearted lie.

Daily instruction in the elements of Vocal BIu-

Mr. Wade thus speaks of the capac-
ity of Gen. Grant:
Il can say of him that, in my ca
pacity of Chairman of the Committee
on the conduct of the Wer, had am
pie opportunity, and 1 never knew one
who could in so few words give so
clear, intelligent account of everything
connected with his army. I've seen
him at night, in a blouse of com
mon soldier, go through the camp
unobserved, and look into all the par
ticulars and details, to know that the
comfort of the common soldier was
secured, and he was the only officer
that any soldier could go directly to
with any complaint, and if the com
plaint was reasonable, have it rene
died. He is the plain, unassuming,
quiet man you all would love, if you
knew him. Cries, Summer don't
