Harrison
10 no Ea,tOr Of TIE Rooster:
SIR:-TO look at the actions of polit-
ical parties, rs a mere partisan, is to
look through green spectacleS. There
IS an element IN American politics
called Independents" When they get
stronger they will be a great balance
wheel. Our great war developed the
great virtues OF the people, courage
and humanity, and with il great war
riorS, IS humane as they were great.
No age has given to history grander
characters than Lincoln, Grant and
Blaine, Lee and jackson and John
son. No sectional State found place
I'm the mind OF these men. Il Lin
coins speech and sentiments at his
second inaugural immortalized his name.
Grant az AppomattoX glOriied all Amer
les and ne but expressed the will OF his
grand army. Lee, IN his hour Of sur
render, and thence to his death, set an
example Of humidity and obedience to
Gods will OF which we have but one
other example. The fall-the cruciix-
ion or the Southern Confederacy was
written in the threads Of fate-the hand
OF God is everywhere. From this crust
fixion the South Is rising ia power and
glory, Jackson, as a Christian warrior,
immOrtallzed his name and the name
and fame OF the once great and united
commonwealth OF Washington.
The Republican party OF the great
and cplightened North and West met
In convention at Minneapolis, and then
comes with them dark and ignorant
South. A great statesmen, loved and
trusted by the enlightened and patriotic
OF his party everywhere, and respected
by an the people; great statesman
who had, as Secretary OF State, made
for himself and his country name and
fame that commanded the respect OF all
nations; a grand man, who had saved
his country from becoming the butcher
OF q little republic that had hardly
overthrown o tyrant and usurper;
grand man who, like the rock-bound
shores OF the sea, turned back the
threatening. bowling waves of blind
passion, and saved his country from the
Cunningly planned first step Of the en-
pire-the force bill Is brought before
that convention by the Presidency. i
The great man is Inundated and y
nomination defeated. BY whom? - O
