Fanrous Canapaign Slogans Trnins Back The Pages Of National ConUentions

pected and distressing news that left the platform builders in something of a quandary. Should they ignore the impeachment trial, or should they bring it into the coming campaign? On the ground of political expediency the more conservative leaders prevailed in avoid ing party statement.
 Fair skies and brisk air greeted the throng fighting for admission to the opera house on the great day set for Grants nomination. The spirit WAS that of a gala celebration. Everyone of the 5000 enthusiasts packed into the building knew what was going to han. pen and was ready to contribute to the jubilation. In fact, some of the dele. gates who were over-anxious nearly upset the program. At the first men. tien of Grants name they started a demonstration that spread to the gal. leries Cries for nomination rose above the hubbub. Finally the chair. man restored sufficient order to remind the convention that it might be wise to wait until the committee on creden. tials had reported on the status of dele. gates.
 When the time arrived for the nomi. nation, an enlargement of a popular Mast cartoon of the general was un. yelled in the rear of the stage, a dove of peace was released to wing it's way around the auditorium and 5000 voices joined in the favorite campaign song ..Hurrah for Grant" With Schuyler Colfax as the vice presidential nominee Grant was returned an easy victor over Horatio Seymour, the democratic can. didate.

ULYSSES s. GRANT--HURRAH
 FOR ERANT-fSa8
Tnrninq Bae

FOR ERANT--fS68 ~. IN the year 1868 General Grant was by all odds the biggest catch in
 the presidential pond. Both the republican and democratic parties as- signed their most expert political ang- lers to the difficult task of landing him, for the general had no hankerifig after office.
 Grant had never been and did not profess to De republican. Not so many years had passed since he cast his vote with the extreme pro-slavery demo- rats. Republican leaders realized that this might De used against him. but counted on his war record to wipe out any earlier Irregularities an, assump- tisn in which they were fully justified.
 Those close to Grant during the days when each party was attempting to out bid the other. believed that his swing to repahlieanism was in a large measure due to a clash with President John son No doubt he could have been elected on either ticket, but he chose to side with the republican leaders behind the move to impeach the President.
 The actual worlr of nominating Grant had been completed weeks prior to the republican convention in Chicago. No other name was considered, leaving the delegates free to discuss suitable run ning-mate. The largest convention crowd up to date. joyous over the pros peet of almost certain victory, was on hand to sing and shout the praises of the new leader. Hurrahs for Grant were all the argument needed.
 The one real jolt came on the eve of the convention, when word was flashed from Washington that Johnson had been acquitted. This was unex-
