THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

Grant is condemned by all people who
would have better person placed at the
head Of our government. 1t would not
pay the 'Commerciap to admit that Grant
had ever been guilty of dishonorable
action, for it desires that Rutherford B.
Hayes should be made President, and
everybody knows thatHayes cannot go into
office without having the same influence
thrown about him as those which have
made Grant what he is. We still say that
Yaryan was dismissed through motives
that wore not honorable, that Bristow had
to 70 because he was too harsh on those
that were intimate friends of Grants, and
we do say that Babcock was as intimate
with the whiskey ring as any Of those con-
victed, and that if it had not been for the
Presidents aid in whispering into his ear,
what Solicitor Wilson communicated to
him in confidence, he would have been in
q place better fitted for his crafty nature
than the one he is in to-day. Take the
testimony Of Wilson before the Whiskey
Committee; it has been published fully,
examine it carefully and see if you can
find anything there that makes Grant
such model of honesty and virtue
as the Commercial" does. The situation
for one who is President of the United
States we admit is bad in the extreme, it
touches upon our national honor, shames
Craftsmanship and blots the fair escutcheon
Of the government, but how can these
things be concealed by Democratic pa
per when they see Republican publishing
the present administration as the most ad-
mirable for economy and honesty that
ever existed. 1t would be aiding this
deception for us to hold our tongues.
The Commercial with that same in
difference to merit, which has character.
lied Republican criticism recently says
that it was recklessness which led to Gus
ters death. In asserting this they give
him no credit for his valor, his risk of
life upon an hundred battle fields
receives no word of praise,
his body goes to the grave without even
recognition Of soldiers worth who died
for his country, stamped by political
party as reckless rash man the leader
ofthat party sounds the note and his fol-
lowers and newspapers publish it through
out the land. They have gone down to
rest, unwept and unmourned by their
countrymen, not even by that party which
the "CommerciaP' represents, and all this
too 10 onewhose sword helped save the, union
that that party might ascend to power af-
ter such an attack as this on the memory
ofan honorable soldier we are notsurprised,
that Grant should be considered as an
honorable man, it would be contrary to- the
usual course Of Republicans in estimating
character for them to think otherwise.
Attempts to speak of the length of time
that the editor of The HERALD has
resided in Delaware, is altogether illogical
to this subject, and goes into personalities
thst the editor of the Commercial ir
