Grants majority, 3O5, ,45S.


The corruption and rascalities dur
ing Grants first term led to an organ
lied revolt among the best Republi-
cans, who also desired to cut loose
from the extreme views of leaders
who encouraged the worst elements
and opposed any proper restoration of
the Union.
There was great opportunity, by a
combination of this disaffected branch
of the party with the regular Democ-
racy, to achieve a memorable success,
and to arrest the dangerous tendency
of the extremist. A faction of the So
called Liberals undertook to force a
candidate on the Cincinnati Conven-
tion, against the declared preference
of the party which had to furnish the
votes.
That attempt failed, and Horace
Greeley became the nominee. against
his own belief that the true ticket
should have been Davis and Curtin.
The end of that contest will not soon
be forgotten. 1t is summed up in the
almanacs in these totals:

In 1876 Mr.. TiIden was elected by
large majority of the popular vote,
and of the Electoral Colleges, but was
defrauded ofthe office. H. not only over
came the three-quarters of a million
which Grant had received in 1872, but
he got quarter of million over
Hayes, and one hundred and fifty
seven thousand over all the candidates
as follows:

Lincoln's majority, 4O7, ,342.

Unfortunately for the country, Mr..
Lincoln was assassinated at the OPEN
ing of his second term, and he was
succeeded by Andrew johnson, who,
in attempting to carry out the policy
of his predecessor, quarrelled with
Congress, and embittered the relations
of parties.
Fresh from success in closing the re-
bellion, and gathering into his own
hand the laurels won by the heroism
of great army, part of which had
been cruelty sacrificed by obstinacy
and ignorance, Gen. Grant was nom-
mated in 1868.
A strong sentiment in the North
pointed to the selection of Salmon p.
Chase as the mast available candidate
for the Democrats at that time. But
Gov. Seymour, against his own judg.
ment, was by sharp trick in the
Convention, put in the false position
of excepting what he did not desire
and of thus rejecting the man whom
he preferred as offering the best
chance of success. His defeat wa.
foreshadowed from the hour that the
Convention made this blunder, though
it was less crushing than had been
anticipated, as is shown by the re-
turns.

Ex.JUDGE FREAsE, we understand, pre-

"Sypher of Louisiana" being the carpet
Dagger to wave the bloody shirt on that
occasion. The Judge held forth for a
few minutes, sketching the Republican
alias the abolition party, from the earli-
est ages down to within fifteen years of
the present time. We do not hear that
he Judge referred to his earnest support
of Greeley in 1872-to mis- utteranCes
then against Greeley and the Republi.
can party, and their corrupt and infam-
Qua doiDgs. The fact is, the Judge then
sympathzed heartily with the Greeley
movement-sympathizing with Chase,
with Sumner, and those old abolition
statesmen, whose ConsCienCes revolted
az the villainies, the thievings, the plum
dering, &c, of the Grant. Garfield Re.

scorned the leading Republican thieves,
Grant included, nor expressed himself
more strongly than Judge Frease.
What has the party done to redeem it.
self since 1872, that he should return to
his Wallowing in the mire, and sail in
with the Grant party? Is not Garfield
fl prototype? Was he not one of them
in 1872? Was he not one of the Credit
Mobiller set? One Of the Salary Grab
maneuverers Indeed, to Mr.. Garfield,
moIe than to any other man, was the
passage of the salary grab due. Was he
(Garfeld) not responsible for the De-
Golyer pavement swindle, costing the
United States Treasury over two mil
lions? Has the Republican party chan.
ged it's character? Has it thrown off its
old, corrupt leaders? Nothing of the
