The following is the gist ola column
article which appeared this week in
Forneys Sunday Chronicle: 1t says
that lit is evident that the old issues of
the late war, and the new issues about
to be forced upon us by an oligarchy as
intolerant us that of slavery, render it
necessary for the Republican party to
take Grant as a candidate for third
term in order to secure victory for next
year. 1t was Gen. Grant alone that
saved the party in 1868, and again
in 1872, and he alone can save it, and
through it the country, from the domi-
nation of the late rebels and the Catho-
lie church. The old issues of the war
are to be resuscitated, and these, with
Grants keynote In his Des Moines
speech are to be the battle cries for
1876. The Republican party has no
other candidate who can save it. Gen.
Sherman will not do because his wife
is Il Catholic. Phil. Sheridan won't do
because he is both Catholic and a for
eigner. The party has no civilian who
can carry Ohio, Pennsylvania and New
York. Hence Grant alone can be its
Moses. This is the gist of the article,
which has evidently been prepared with
care.
