The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1872-08-15

Triumph in the air." is one of the
n. Y. Tfi6me's favOrite expressions
regarding the campaign. As yet that
triumph has not been seen to any
great extent, except on Grants side.
In Indiana the Republicans are con-
Quoting the warmest and most sue
cessful campaign held for great ma
ny years. Senators Wilson, Morton, and
others are stumping the State, and
address immense gatherings every
day. Especially SC is it in the case of
Senator Wilson, our candidate for
Vice President. His receptions at the
towns he passes through are perfect
Ovations, and his meetings are attend
ed by thousands-the smallest being
not less than 5000, while some of
them reach 15,OOG Indiana will give
a good account of itself this fall.
Here is-an extract from one of Sen
ator Wilson's speeches worthy of
marked attention:
Chow came the revenue of the
country to be SO largely increased? &?
His (Grant's) promise when he was
elected was, Il will try and have a
faithful execution of the laws;' and
the laws were faithfully executed.
Seventy millions of fdollars former
Iy collected and stolen, were saved
under his administration. When he
became President the bonds of the
government were worth eigty-two
cents on the dollar; to-day they are
at par. lCheers.l When he became
President a class of demagogues had
been filling the public ear about pay
ing the national debt in greenbacks,
which meant that it should not be
paid at all. Gen. Grant said to the
country and the world, the credit Of
the United States shall be maintained;
and under his lead Congress passed a
resolution to that effect. The coun-
try began to rise, and has risen until
we have negotiated at par 5000, 900, 900
at 3 per cent. The bonds of this gov
ernment are worth SI2O, 200, 900 in gold
more than they were when Gen. Grant
became President. Our S7OO,OO0,0O0
Of currency are worth this day Of our
Lord S14O,OO0,OOO more than when
he entered the presidential chair. or
the national debt SS3T, ,OOO,O 900 have
been paid since he came in, and it has
been paid by a more faithful collec-
ton of the revenue and the reduction
of the expenditures of the govern
ment. We have reduced taxation
over $3.50, ,OOO, 900, and have saved s22,
OOO, 700 Of annual interest. Gentle
men, 1 say that the financial triumph
of this administration has been the
most brilliant in the world. u tChees. 7
The following card, by Rev. DIR.
Lilientha; is from the Enquirer,
which paper indicated chat the Is
raeIites were all against Grant. It is
Indicative that the Israelites will
please themselves and vote for good
Government
CINCINNATI, o., August 9, 1872.
To the Editor Of the Enquirer.
In your issue Of tO-day's paper you
bring an extract from the Isrdelae,
heading the same 1.-The Israelites
Will Not Vote for Grant" Permit
me to correct this heading by stating
that the Isrdelite is the organ OF Rev. !
DR.. Wise, and expresses merely his 1
own political views.
No religious paper of ours has a /
right 10 speak for the political views
of the Israelites at large. Mind, ''eUc 1
are Americans first, and then Israel /
ites,". and no clergyman, no matter
what his position or his influence, has /
q right, or claims a right, to dictate 1
politics to the Jewish community.
II the Rev. DR.. Wise uses the eX-
preston "we,n it is the usual editor /
ial plural but does not imply that he /
speaks for the Israelites in a body. /
Every Israelite may vote as he .
pleases and thinks proper. Thank .
Heaven, we are not at the command /
of any set of clergy.
repeat it again what once / said .
at public meeting in Mozart Hall: I
We IsrEelites are first Americans,
and then Israelites.
Respectfully yours, ]
