THE good opinion Of my countrymeu,"
said General GRANT at the RUSSELL
YoUSG press banquet, is dearer to me
"than the praise of all the world be-
side'' 1t will puzzle the anti-Granites
TO find any obtrusiye evidence Of Imperial

GENERAL GRANT set good example to
Republicans who tolerate and fondle with
KEAgSEY when he peremp,orily refused him
audience on the receipt Of his card. This

threatened to burn the ex-President in

Of Kentucky honor a braggart and liar as
their Governor.

moral, the Grand Moral, of all this however,
appeals directly to the personal and Gnan-
cial interests Of the public-spirited business
man. 1t admonishes him that now is the

and wrong the negro what is the odds,
"anyhow, so long ns ROBINSON carries New
York this fall" That result is the South
ern hope, aud the fear Of il the alarm of
the negro aud the white loyal man both
