WHY GRANT WAS GREAT.
Due Recognition When True Merit is
Once Established.

Was Grant great general ?-conceded
What made him so?
When U. S. Grant was hauling cord.
wood into st. Louis his neighbors did
not imagine he would become the most
famous man OF his generation. When
he was managing the little tannery in
Galena no one of his intimates recog-
nized in him future hero. But he dis
played qualities which should have
satisfied them he was no common man.
What was there about him?
If you start to build single story
shanty you pay little attention to the
foundation; you may lay strlngers in
the sand, with little fear the building
will fall. But if you propose erecting a
ten-story block, your architect will tell
you you must go to the rock for the
basis of your foundation, or the stately
structure is liable to tumble about your
ears.
The foundation of great man is
moral force--character this is the rock
foundation. The shlftless man lacks
it, he never succeeds. Grant never
used an oath--a sure indication of moral
character. He never told, or listened
to, if he could help it, vulgar story /;
this showed peculiar moral fibre, an un-
usual strength of character. He was a
man of opinions-as his wife said, was
obstinate; in other words, he had will
power, force.
These qualities, with good Judgment,
well balanced mental powers, and
peculiar executive ability, supplemented
by military education, fitted him for
the emergency. when it came. As soon
as his merits became known, success
was assured. This is always the case,
with things as with men. 81 we'll know
the value of Warmers Safe Cure" writes
M. Carr, of the Hotel Bennett, Bing-
hampton, N. Y. In 1884 l had difficulty
with my kidneys. The doctors did not
help me; was badly out of rig. One
day a travelling man out of Utica ad-
vised me to try Warmers Safe Cure.
The first bottle did SO much good that
when my family doctor called | threw
his medicine out of the window while
he was present. continued to use
Warmers Safe Cure until l was entirely
well.u
TIE test of merit is the accomplish
ment of the matter in hand. The best
is that which is most certain.
There will be meeting of the men,
bers of the campaign committee of the
Pond Democratic Club at 8o'clock sharp,
Tuesday evening, October %, 1890, at
the parlor of the St. Elmo hotel. Bust
ness of importance with reference to
election day will be transacted. A full
