PoLITIcB-REAsoNs Why GRANT WOULD BR
THE MOST AVAILABLE CANDIDATE
THE SOLID ORGANIZATION OF
THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Washington, D. c., Jan II, 1SS

i. 9. Of course the Democracy-have made
their periodical blunder, and by their reckless
usurpation in Maine have shown the country
what methods they are willing to adopt to
gain power. 1t seems clear that they have
banished all pretense to decency. and having
seized the two Houses of Congress by fraud
and bloodshed in the South, are now bent on
using those two Houses to count in Presi-
dent, by importing into the North the trick
of setting up bogus State governments from
which to obtain certificates in favor of beaten
Presidential electors. The country stands
fair chance to be Mexicanized if it trusts to
the forbearance of the two Democratic Houses
of Congress in determining the Presidential
succession. But 'fnew occasions teach new
duties" and Grant will doubtless be sum-
moned by the American people to take the
helm of State for another four years. His
name is guarantee of safety and order.
Thousands of Confederates will rally to him,
for gentle peace" will be in his hand, and
his sole ambition will be to bind up his coun
try's wounds The Democratic leaders are
overreaching themselves. In their thurst for
power they are sowing the dragons teeth
again, aud endangering the public peace. The
South begins to realize that the Northern
Democrats want not peace, and that they TO
ment discussions on exciting questions which
we're settled by the war. hoping thereby them
selves to ride into Office on the back of Solid
South. The murmur against continuance
of this is beginning to swell into a strong pro-
test. Charles OConnor, the candidate in
1872 of the Democratic implacables, now pub
licly declares that he will not assent to the
methods by which alone the Democrats can
win. All through the middle South, the Con-
federate soldiers are talking out for Grant
Said one to ME the other day: ''Grant is the
war. He has always been kind and consider |
ate. We are willing to take him on his
record, and agree that this is a nation, and |
has the power, and owes the duty, of protect |
ing all its citizens"
GRANT, PBACR, LAW AND ORDER,

Fraud from Tilden and Garcelon, nor of
