Colonel John W. Forney as he grows old
also grows mellow. His n~tterances Of the
present day do not sound at all like the
vigorous rsdicalism Il the Forney II the
years gone by. He was recently inter-
viewed while passing through Cincinnati
on his return from tie West. The Colonel
told the reporter t.s. he had found every
body out west for Grant for a third term.
The feeling to- him seemed to be ~irresist-
lille. On this point Colonel Forney said !:
One cement Of Grants great strength Is
The inconstdar ate and insane conduct OF
the extreme men OF the South. For my
part. and I do MT think ] stand alone. l

how they have sinred. / know how madly
they have acted; but in the spirit of
Christian charity l would try them again
and xgaiD. l would forgive them again
and again. i would do ~ Scripture d.

times, simply because they are orr own.
They cannot do without us il they would,
and we cannot do without them. Be-

even ut the risk Of offending some OF my

should alwass be tolerant and magnani-
mons. The Democrats are going to pi ces,
and / have not met one honest member Of
that party who has not, in private 'nver-
satiou, admitted as much. Therefore. /
think that il such a policy Of forgiveness
could be enunciated by G. n. Grant. it is
in the wool that he may be elected to a
third term by . unanimous vote, North
and South. Nothing wins in this life 70
mnch as love. particularly on the part Of .
great people.
Colonel Forney's opinion seems to be
that II the whole country would agree to
be m~agnanimous. General Grant would
soften beautifully and consent to keep the
Republic il order for afew years more. The
next thing we hear Of Col. Forney lie will
