ner's speech is collection of SANDER against
the President with literary, antiquarian and
scholastic embellishments.
The Tribune considers Summers speech one
of the greatest he ever delivered.

the republican party will carry conviction where
the democratic voice would pass as idle wind.

The Herald says the speech is a savage ar
fragment of the President, and the bitter.
ness which evidently is proved by sense of
personal provocation will weaken its force;
# contains nothing new except the statement
of Stanton that Grant could not govern the
country
