slower i'll coming to the concluson But
at length men like Greeley, Sumner,
Adams, Trumbull, Schurz and Brown,
could no longer give silent consent to the
iniquity. They spoke out denouncing the
conspiracy against constitutional govern
ment, and their voices rallied hosts of
followers from among their party friends
Action and organization followed, and
the country knows the rest.
Feeling thus. acting thus, what more
natural than that all these men, of what
ever previous affiliations, should join their
forces and act together? To do other
wise would be to invite defeat They
simply place country above party, and
consent to a revolution in ihc latter, rather
than risk one in the government They
see that to re-elect Grant is to encourage
the conspiracy and bind the people hand
and foot
In this contest men are of small account
Principles are everything The only need
is that the standard bearer of the party of

his ways are the ways OF peace, and his
inclinations are to emulate the benefactor
of Swifts tale, who strove to make two
blades of grass grow where but one grew

Democrats are reminded OF Mr.. Greeley's
record i'll the hard political contests Of the
past and of the severe things he has said
of their party. And they can also recall
similar uncomplimentary remarks in re-
ply. But what argument is there in il
all? Of the questions thai have divided
parties i'll the past, not one remains, save
the tariff, and that is rrmanded by the
Cincinnati platform to the people of the
congressional districts. Why quarrel over
