OF the Nations history. To him far more than TO
any other man is due the fact that every paper
dollar is as good as id With him as our leader
we shall have no defensive campaign, no apollo
gies or explanations to make, The shafts and ar.
rows have all been aimed at him, and they lie
broken and harmless at his feet. When he re

arch traitor and would be the destroyer, and now
the same people are asked to ostrRoise Grant and

him and by his works have known him7 Can il
be said that Grant has used his official place and
| power to perpetuate his termf He has no place
and official power has not been used for him

Democratic party because his nomination will be
the death blow TO Democratic success, and he Is
