THF New York Tribune recites by
name the brigade of brigadiers, whose
uniforms have been stripped from their
backs, by chill November's surly blast,
and concludes as follows:
These are the leaders, now repudiated, who,
with Grant at their head stole the insignia Of the
Republican party, and paraded in the clothes OF
Lincoln, Chase, Seward, Sumner and Greeley.
They wore the uniforms and carried the colors
and played the music Of Republicanism, but II
was nothing but Grantism, after all. And now
as the chill November breeze plays through their
scattered ranks, and the bloody shirt, their only
pennant, waves mournfully on high, they see
about them plenty ofleaders, ready to lead, but q
whole people which refuses to be led. Grantism
which counterfeited Republicanism, could moi
forever escape detection. The hands were the
hands of Esau, but the voice was the voice Of
Jacob,
