"the Republican party, as such, will
never again make General Grant Pre-
sideut of the United States" Still

depends upon the future attitude Of
she Southern Democrats. If they dis
turb the finances and unsettle the re-
suits of the war, General Grant will be
invincible. The southern Republicans
strongly favor Grant
