ONE HUNDRED REASONS WHY
EVERY MAN WHO LOVES GOOD
GOVERNMENT, SHOULD
VOTE FOR THE RE-
ELECTION OF
GRANT.
NOMINATION.

NOMINATION.
/. Because the Convention which re-
nominated President Grant represented
the people more perfectly than any other
similar convention which has ever been
held, and though the delegates numbered
seven hundred and fifty, there were not
thirty off1ce-holders among them Their
nomination of Grant was unanimous pon
taneous and enthusiastic, as was also his
nomination IN 1868.
9. Because triumphal ratification of
this nomination by the people at the polls
will also carry with it a Republican Con-
gress, and will insure Republican Cabi-
net of such able Secretaries as George S.
Boutwell, and those of the other Depart
ments.
REPUBLICAN MEASURES.
3. Because the measures of The admin
istration have been so admirable that he
Observation-Disclosures platforms so far as it
contains anything really worthy, is only
in accordance with Republican action, the
spirit of Republication being always
progressive, and It's policy always extend
ing aud modifying itself as the exigences
of the nation or the wants of the people
require it.
FOREIGN RELATIONS AND POLICY.
4. Because President Grant has main
tanned our rights with every foreign pow
Grand kept the peace with all the world
and this while preserving our national
dignity In all its extent, and receiving
and reciprocating all national cnurtesies
and amenities, though wars and revolu-
tions in Europe and on this side of the
Atlantic, have rendered such a course O
task only to be executed by wisdom and
craftsmanship of the highest order.
g. Because President Grant has negoti'
ated far more favorably with England
than preceding administrations, and has
introduced the principle Of arbitration
in the settlement Of differences between
nations, which will inure to the interests
Of peace and the happiness of the world.
1t will establish new epoch Of Justice
and comfy among nations.
6. Because President Grant has evinced
in his messages a complete conception o.
that foreign policy wh ch the interests of
America demand, and which national jus
tice and honor require The Monroe
relation to II he says "The time is not
far distant when, in the natural course Of
events, the European political connection
with this continent will cease. The colo
NAL dependencies (of transatlantic gov
ernments) are no lonT3r regarded as sub
ject to transfer from Ene European power
to another. When the present relation
Of colonies ceases they are to become in ,
dependent powers, exercising the right
of choice and self control in the determi.
nation Of their future condition and rela~
tien with other'pOwers"
PUBLIC DEBT AND ITS REDUCTION.
7. Because the present administration
found a ebt,exclusive of interest, amount
ing to $2,700000000, and from the 4th of
March, 1869, to Julyf1, 1872, (three years
and five months) paid 1888, 970, 91G.39 Of
it.
8. Because, while during the whole ad-
minlstration Of Andrew johnson, this
debt was only reduced $13655 G88, the
reduction under Grant for forty one
months has been $8,349,422 each month
8. Because the administration has al ,
ready paid 10 2l-100 per cent. Of the
whole debt, and at that rate not vestage
of it will remain In twenty-one years.
10. Because this has been accomplished
when Grant found prices inflated, trade
deranged, the country flooded with paper
money worth from 80 to II cents on the
dollar, the opposition declaring the debt
could never be paid, some of the leaders
demanding population, and a National
Democratic Convention insisting its paw
ment should not be made IN coin.
IL. Because the republican party is the
only one which can be depended upon for
a certain, prompt, and faithful payment
of the public debt. For the same reasons
our public credit depends upon the Re
publicans.
REDUCTION OF TAXES.
10. Because under johnson, the annual
internal taxes and custom duties were
1886; 1886, 5000, under Grant, these taxes
have been reduced at an average of $l37, ;
38,40900 each year of his administra-
tion.
10. Because, except on whiskey, beer,
tobacco and portion of the stamp tax,
internal taxes are almost entirely abolish
ed, and the President says in one Of his
messages that, "by steadiness in our pres
emit course there is no reason Wky,in few
short years, the national tax-gatherer may
