President Grant.

In military point of view General Grant
stands without a superior. The nation can new
er pay the debt of gratitude it owes him
Such grand series of successes as marked his ca
reer during the war attended the fortunes of no
other man known in the worlds history In
1868 he was Lieutenant General of the army of
the United States with an annual salary of $685.
600, with house furnished. Under the law
which created him Lieutenant General be held
this position during good behavior 1t was a
life tenure in character.
To crafty the American people, Gen. Grant
resigned this lucrative position to be their Pres
ident This position had no care nor labor Cor
nected with it. 1t lasted for life and paid better
than the Presidency. He resigned this 10 >, be
President for four years. He could have had no
object in being President except to crafty ii
grateful people. ~
Horace Greeley says: "Gen. Grant has a SOL
id basis OF actual achievements on which the
country may be safely trusted to pronounce judg-
ment. He has taken the most profigate system
of civil service the government ever knew and
made it efficient, honest and economical. He has
stopped the theft and fairly collected The public
revenue. He has done all in his power to hasten
the completion of reconstruction He has made
large payments on the public debt. We doubt
whether any government ever before devoted so
much of its annual income to the payment of the
public debt. He misunderstands human nature
rho fancies that these facts DiU not tell in Pres
identidl contest"
Here is the first man OF the age endorsed by his
opponent. Felow-citzens, go to the polls and
vote for him on election day. The Republican
party has claim upon your services on that day.

The Horse Endemic.

The telegraph within the past week has CIV
en- details of the seemingly miraculous spread
of inalady which but lately developed itself
among the horses in Canada. 1t appears to
have invaded New York State scarcely week
ago, manifesting itself with sudden malignity
in Rochester, Buffalo and other places in the
northern portion of the State, affecting thous-
ands of horses, Frustrating business, and Great
ing among the people state of excitement
amounting almost to panic. Rapidly pursu-
ing its course southwark, the disease has fallen
upon the vast stables which supply the cities
of New York and Brooklyn with horse power,
causing a partial suspension of street railway
travel and city business transportation. and
threatening even general suspension of those
facilities of local communication and conve-
nience.
The first noticeable symptoms of the disease
are flow of tears from the eyes, a watery dis
charge from the nose and general languor.-
Next cough, which, becoming more frequent,
will soon occur in paroxysms. In the COM
mencement the membranes OF the nose will be
found paler, or of a leaden color, and those of
the eyes presenting yellowish or Redeemed

q chill. All this is soon succeeded by gener
al feverish condition, manifested by heat OF
mouth, membranes of the eyes and nose red
dened, pulse frequent, though soft and easily
compressed, respiration quickened and some
times laborious. At this stage the bowels may
be sluggish, urinary organs inactive, and the
discharge from the nose often assuming yell
lowish or greenish appearance. The disease
usually runs its course within ten days, and

The Disease IN BdLtimO ore.

After dilligent search, a reporter discover
ed a case of the horse disease in a stable on
North High street. The horse had all the symp-
toms described by the Northern press, where
the disease has heretofore occurred. He pre-
scented the appearance of having bad cold,
and was weak and almost PROSTATE. The nos
trls and mouth looked like of bad sail
walton, and the whole system of the animal
seemed infected.
Our reporter was informed by one OF our
most prominent veterinary surgeons that the
disease had made its appearance in this city
several days ago, and had been gradually in
creasing The cases have. so far, been confined
to livery stables exceptin the instance mention
ed above, and in those stables where It has APP
peared seems to have been epidemic The disease
does not appear to be in any particular section OF
the city las the stables reported as having the
es of the disease are in the different sections. OF
course, among so many conflicting rumors in
regard to this much dreaded disease, it was
difficult to procure entirely reliable statements,
the parties having horses attacked showing an
evident unwillngness to allow the reporters to
enter their stables, and the owners of large
numbers of horses appearing unwilling to give
any information on the subject.

Presidential Election, next Tues
day, November 5th.

Much is said about carpet-bag governments
in the South. We are told they are bad, and
that if Greeley is elected they will be wiped out.
Don't forget that every one of these governments
was established by the free choice of the people
in the States And remember that we are told
that the government has no right TO interfere
with the rights of States
None of the Southern State Governments are
half so bad as that of New York city was twelve
months ago. There were no carpet-baggers in
control Of that We did not hear any cry Of OPP
preston there. No one asked for the interfer-
ence OF the government to remedy the evil The
people of New York used the remedy in their
hands-the ballot. The Southern States must
redeem themselves in the same way.
OF President Grant Horace Greeley said 81
think of no one in public station who represents
more fully the idea of The American gentleman,
unostea tatious, unassuming, brave, without am
biton, forbeariug, resolute in doing what he
deems TO be right"

,Oiad IL must not Be TO return to contented and
peaceful homes. They must find poverty at their
fresides, and see pfiUdtiOa in The anxious eyes Of
mothers and the rags Of children"
When Andrew johnson wanted to arrest
and punish those engaged in the rebellion Gen.
Grant interfered and prevented it, stating they
were paroled and they should not be disturbed
as long as they conducted themselves as good
citizens.
Horace Greeley said Let the soldier un-
derstand that he is enrolled to fight parcel of
kuaves, all liable to indictment, trial, sentence
and execution men with whom no terms are 10
be made. A thief is athief, a liar is liar, per-
jurer is aperjurer, and every southern traitor vho
is morally responsible is all three together"
When Gen Lee surrendered TO Gen. Grant

home and till their fields with them" Demo-
Gratis, if you wish TO degrade your manhood vote
for Horace Greeley your most eminent villi6er.
President Grants administration has paid
off nearly three hundred and sixty millions of
the national debt in three years and seven months.
This is a marvel. II is an unanswerable argu-
ment in favor of continuing the affairs of the ma
ton in the hands of the Republican party.
