SENATOR WILSON said Of Grant
in his speech at Kendallville, Indi.
ana:
How came he to be President
Gen. Grant supported Mr.. Lincoln.
After Andy Johnson had betrayed
the party, and the question of elect.
ing a new President came up, the 10
stincts of the nation turned to the
quiet, modest man who led the ar.
mics of the people. remember his
answer when he was asked to stand
for the election. I was one of these
who called on him at that time. A
great many were discouraged. They
said Andy Johnson had demoralized
the party, and SO many of the Blairs
had left US laughter; the whisky
ring rules; against US. 1t seemed
then as if earth and hell had COM
bined to destroy the Republican par
ty. We went to Grant and said to
him: General, you must be our
candidate" His answer was, 81
have no public experience. There
are hundreds of men in the country
better fitted for the Presidency than
/ am. am General of the army and
have good SALARY. 1t is life office
and l am poor man. If l serve
four years 1 shall probly then 60 out
and have nothing to do at my age of
life, and l have no profession or
trade by which to support my fami-
lv. You had better take some body
else" say here before man and
God that that was Grants position
four years ago. We trust the candi-
dacy for the Presidency upon him
and we made him take it cheers;
and the nation took him. Cheers.
There was not much demonstrative
enthusiasm for him in the army or
out oft. There was a great many
little picayune Generals whom you
would draw out bigger shout for
than Grant any time, but in the
army every soldier knew that Gen
eral Grant was one of those sort of
men who do not know how to retreat.
[Cheers. They knew he was one
of those quiet, unostentatious, clear
minded men, who always fought out
on that line, and always won.
[Cheers. They had confidence in
him. So, politically, the country
was not half SO enthusiastic IN 1868
as now, but there was confisca-
ton, holy trust, a sublime faith,
that he is just the man to lead us to
victory, and he did it.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1872-08-22

HORACE GREELEY, says in his 'Re-
collections of a Busy Life "I was
an ardent politician when not half
old enough to vote" Grant said to
New York HeGaId's reporter, "a s
a general rule ] am not at all fond of
what is generally known as politics. p"
Here is the difference between the
two men in a nutshell. Aud it
shows why Greeley is the candidate
of the politicians who do the blow
ing, and Grant the candidate of the
people who do the voting.

A STRING OF PEARLS.

SAY less than you thiuk, rather
than think only half what you say.
A SECRET has been defined Gas
anything made known to everybody
in a whisper"
MOST ofthe shadows that CROSS
our path through life are caused by
standing in our own light.
VALUE the friendship of him who
stands by you in the storm swarms
ofinsects will surround you in the
sunshine.
A WIT once asked a peasant what
part he performed in the great drama
of life. 81 mind my own business"
was the reply.
ONE of the saddest things about
human nature is, that man may
guide others in the path of life with
out walking in it himself; that he
may be pilot, and yet cast-a-way.
The weekly Oskaloosa herald. [volume] (Oskaloosa, Iowa) 1855-1885, 1872-08-22

Mr.. GREELRY's tariff notions have
resolved themselves into the doc
trine of States rights, applied to the
Congressional districts. He wants
each Congressional district to decide
whether free trade or protection is
the best for the country. This is
the old idea which, applied to slave
ry, ultimately induced the slavehold-
ers to attempt the disintegration of
the Union. Each state had Alright to
determine for itself whether it would
or would not have slavery,a land seces-
sion was the resultof failure on the
part of the north to ratify the views
of the south. 1t is not difficult to
torsee revolution as the result of Mr..
Greeley's doctrine, that each Con-
gressional district shall decide the
tariff question for itself. The mo-
ment that question is presented in
any other than as one which affects
the whole country as a unit, and is
to be decided on its merits in respect
to its entire welfare of the nation,
that seeds of strife are sown which
mast eventuate in disruption sooner
or later. 1t is essential that the tariff
question shall be discussed as a nat
ional issue, in which the President
is the most prominent representative
of his party's views. Mr.. Greeley
as the avowded champion of protect
ion would be a much safer man than
Mr.. Greeley an artful dogger of the
whole matter. 1t is all very we'll for
the new candidate to say that he
will not interfere with the wishes of
the people, as expressed through
their representative in Congress,
in the regulation of the tariff.
Those who know him best, however,
know that his greatest weakness is
meddlesomeness, and that he would
rather cease to live than cease to
show concern Tor that which did not
concern him.

that there is an air Of improbability

"Getting out of Bed the Wrong Way.

Did my dear Basil ever wake up in the
morning and feel as if he should like to bite
the bedpost? And when he arose and found
some disorder upon the dressing-table, did he
wonder why his things were always in such
demon of heap? And when he combeC.
his precious whiskers and little tangle oc-
CURED, did my excellent friend ever swear
that his demoned comb was always hurting
him? And when, emerging from his bath,
he knocked his-shins, let us say-against the
sharp edge of the bureau, did he ever let fly
a string of demons from his mouth? Proba-
bly not. But there are persons-and this I'M
happy bachelor is one-who have been known
upon awaking, to look with the emotions of a
cannlbal at the furniture, and who, according
to familiar phrase, never to be repeated at
the time without great evaporation, do some
times 'get out of bed the wrong way'
That is merely to say that there is an East
ern storm raging, And when l have thus
gotten out of bed the wrong way, everything
in the world is wrong. l come down to my
solitary breakfast. and apparently, to use the
same figure, l sit upon the wrong side of the
table. l speak to my shrinking Polly, the
oblging maiden who waits, in the wrong way
l find that the breakfast has been cooked
wrong. l think, and if l do not loudly de-
clare, should like to, that demoned cook
ought to know by this time what like for
breakfast. The demoned newspaper is wet
1t always is when L wish particularly to read
something. And energetically wish that the
demoned milkman would shut up his demon
ed mouth, and not screech and yelp like q
wild Indian under the window, when peace
able people are eating their breakfast. You
see, My Basil, that whether theisun shines on
the outer world or not, very di,agreeable
easterly storm prevails in your humble serv-
ants modest domestic interior-G. W. Cur
