our fellow citizens of the South. The magnan-

triotism and gratitude Of the nation, we confide
to it every interest of the Union Soldier, and
We here express our most cordial appreciation
of the unparalleled generosity Of the people,

vanced political sentiment. We point to the
condition Of the country In all its relations,
foreign and domestic, for the proof that its
laws are well administered aud its honor main-
tanned. We rejoice to see associated with him
the incorruptible patriot and repres entative Of
American institutions Hon. Henry Wilson Of
Massachusetts.

forming the Civil Service and establishing the
highest standard of honor and fidelity.

word let me say before we part; one word be-
fore we return to our homes. There Is no re-
conciliation on our part We are the friends

peace prevail For our own part there is no
need of reconciliation; let US go home fully

it place the loyal people in control Of our in
stitutions; let each ono go home to his city, to
his town or hamlet and insist upon all his
friends voting, not only for General Grant and
Henry Wilson, but for the whole ticket, down
to the lowest man, to try and have Repub-
ican triumph. That is what we all want,
that is what we must have, in order to secure
peace, happiness and prosperity in this country.
