Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1872-03-21

Hon. Jacob Mueller has written q
communication to the Waechter an
Erie, a translation of which we re
produce below and commend to the
attention of our readers. Mr.. Muel
ler says:
"Of seventy five Republican mem
bers of the Legislature, Of whom it
may be taken for granted that they,
in some degree, represent the views
of their constituents, there are not
half dozen anti Grant men l do
not mean to say by this that the large
majority will not support any other
Republican that may be nominated in
Philadelphia just as readily; what 1
mean to say is that there is no feel
ing of opposition to Grant and his
administration, but just the opposite.
On the part of Americans, therefore,
there is no reason to expect that the
Cincinnati convention will find the
least sympathy or support.
s'If this is fact that can not be
denied, what course remains for those
German Republicans who are dissat-
isfied with Grant And this question
must be met. To remain passive
and act the injured party would be q
childish absurdity, and to butt
against the wall is both painful and
foolish. To play into the hands of
the Democrats and free traders is
certainly not in accordance with the
taste of German Republicans. AND
just here, / will say that all the
American Anti Grant men whom ]
have discovered here favor the liber-
al Republican movement either on
account of their personal grievances
or on account of their free trade
principles. The Democratic reform
ers' consists for the most part o.
men who, having no hope for the
resurrection of the Democratic par
ty, seek to obtain power in a mega
tive way. To Democratize the Re
publican party and fish in muddy wat
er is the object of the large majority
of the reform Democrats Let no
body be deceived by this Democratic
siren song.
Gas soon as the split in the Re.
publican party is large enough tc
give them a prospect of victory, the
Democratic party will cease its pas
sive policy and turn its PROV into tht
real Democratic channel Theil
faces would at once have an entirely
different look, and all their senti
mental love making to the liberal Re
publicans would at once appear false
and deceitful.
ga nomination on the 1st of May il
Cincinnati would be all the Demo
Gratis could desire, and would indeed
give them passable good opportu
nifty to gain the control of the gov
ernment.
MY opinionis that the nomine,
of the Philadelphia convention vii
also be the candidate of the German
Republicans. To continue the agi
tation to send anti Grant DELEGATE
is not merely proper, it is duty; any
thing beyond this is of evil. If tn
| German Republicans should not sup
port the nominee of the Philadelphi
convention, and as a consequence
il ee trade or greenback Democrat b
elected, they would not only reduc
their ~ future influence to naugh
but also do their adopted country
most doubtful service. A polite;
) isolation of the Germans would be
sad calamity, hoth as regards them
selves and the country.

!, who have never considered it wort
/ while to make their capacity felt o
5 the political field, need not imagin
that they will all of a sudden be &C!
