THE GERMANS OF ONO AGAINST GRANT-WHAI
A GERMAN LEADER SAYS.
Mr.. Frederick Has.awrek, the dstin-
guished German editor and political leader
Of Cincinnati, is here, and talks freely in
regard TO the presidential question. He dc
carCs that the Germans OF Ohio are almost a
unit in opposition to the nomination and
election OF Grant. II he is nominated, he
says. he will lose all OF the Liberals who
have gone with the Republicans, because
they wanted sound currency and also a
large number o;the Old-LinerS. The Repub'
lcan State Scnator and Mayor Of Cincinnati
have told him that they will not vote for
Grant. Now, there are ten thousand Ger
maa voters in Cincinnati, and the effect OF
their opposition will be apparent TO every
body. IL Grant is nominated the Demo
Gratis, with Bayard, will be able, he
says, 10 carry Ohio easily. This feeling
is not occasioned by the fact that
the Germans underrate General Grants
military services, but it grows out of their
opposition to a third term. There is not a
leading German Republican paper, said Mr..
Ha>sawrek, that now advocates Grant, and
the WeSttfche Post (St. Louis, the Carl
Schurz organ, and the StQ0tS Z:itung New
York; will not support him II nominated.
In Cleveland, Ohio, there are two German
papers. both of which are against Grant,
and one Of them-the Anzeiger-he says has
interviewed one hundred and nineteen
leading German businessmen, and found
them all against Grant. The German vote
OF the Buckeye State is certainly greater
than any majority given there for the Re-
publicans in late years. The Germans OF
Ohio prefer Sherman for the presidency.
Blaine is not very strong with them, but
they prefer him to Grant. This confirms
reports which have come from Ohio to the
effect that the promotion OF Grant vii! lose
the Republicans Ohio; and yet the Came
ronS and the ConklIngs are bent on his
nomination.
