MORNING APPEAL.
GRANT.

CHANT,
We do not know whether we Just like Sena-
tur Sargent amendment to the Shields pen
,',,l bill. The other day, Ex-Governor Shep-
lc.d, of Washington, i'll letter rebuking
Sunset Cox for an impudent mention of his
name, alludes to General Grant as ''the great
Est living American" Such, for long time,
has been our estimate of the General Sar-
cents amendment would be eminently just
and proper under different circumstances. As
it IS, it forces the Democrats in Congress to
show their colors in a way which is not calcu-
ated to promote their interests. So far, the
stlutagem is good one. But we do not fancy
mqking Grant stalking horse upon any pre-
text or occasion. We value him too highly
10 he willing to see his name put to any ille-
climate USES We want him saved for the
next Presidency, where, as we like to believe,
tho people will place him i'll 1880. There has
been dawdling and time-serving and tempo
rising enough. If Hayes could have killed
the party he would have done so-done it
from intent, as being the fulfillment of an i'm
Ded bargain; and done it through being,
himself, the nominal head of the party, and
himself representing the most malignant kind
- political softening of the brain. The signs
II life manifest in the party, or i'll the North
rathcr, are in the universal demand and eX
pcctation that Grant shall lead the country up
out Of rebel rule and vindicate the old flag.

Having burnt off the Jog of their self-accusa-
tons and seif-dclusions, the Republican party
will abandon its preposterous whimseys and
lake its food in the future from among the
~t3bstantials. Grantism is nutrition. Hayes
islu is fapdoodle. (This phrase is easy Of
comprehension when We say that tapdoodle is
Hayc,ism. No more need be said to the in

this age Of teething, measles, chicken pox,

country wants him now more than ever: and
when Hayes goes back to his native obscurity,
Grant will return to the White House.
