ECONOMY, HONESTY, PROGRESS, FREEDOM OF SPEECH, FREEDOM OF THE PRESS, LIBERTY, EQUALITY, AND FRATERNITY, SHOULD VOTE FOR THE RE-ELECTION OF PRESIDENT GRANT. NOMINATION. 1. BccHus" I ho Convention which renominatcd President Grant represented the people more per fectly tliiin :iny oilier similar convention which baa ever been "held, uiul though tlio delegates numbered seven hundred and liliy, there were not thirty office holder* among them. Their nomination of Grant was unanimous, spontaneous, and enthusiastic, as \V;LS uli-o his nomination in 1868. ii. Because a triumpb al ratification of this nomi nation hv the pe->plu at. the polls will also carry with it a Republican Ingress, and will insure us a Re publican Cabinet of such able Secretaries os George fc>. Boutwell and those of the other Departments. REPUBLICAN MEASURKS. 3. Because the measures of the administration have been so admirable that the Cincinnati-Baltimore platform, so far as it contains anything really worthy, is only in accordance with Republican action, the spirit, of Republicanism heii>g always progressive, and its policy always extending and modifying itself as the exigencies of tiie nation or the wants of the people require it. FOKEIGN RELATIONS AND POLIO?. 4. Because President Grant has maintained our rights with every foreign power, and kept the peace with all the world; and "this while preserving our national dignity iu all its extent, and receiving and reciprocating all national courtesies and amenities, though wars and revolutions iu Europe and on this side ol the Atlantic, have rendered such a course a task only to be executed by wisdom, and statesman ship of the highest order. 5. Because President Grunt has negotiated far more favorably with England than preceding ad ministrations, and has introduced the principle of arbitration in the settlement of differences between nations, which will inure to the interests of peace and the happiness of the world. It will establish a new epocu of justice and comity among nations. 6. Becau.-e President Grant has evinced in his mes.-ages a complete conception of that foreign policy which the interests of America demand, and which national justice and. honor require. The Monroe Doctrine receives his full sanction , and in relation to it he says : "The time is not, far distant when, iu the natural course of events, the European political con nection with this continent will cease. The colonial -de; t ndencie.*(of trans-Atlantic governments) are no longer regarded as subject to transfer tiom oue European power to another. When the present re lation ot colonies ceases they nr ; to become inde pendent powers, exorcising ihe right of choice aud self-con I vo! in the determination 01 their future cou- dniou a,:d relation witu other powers." PUBLIC DEBT AND ITS REDUCTION. 7. Because the piesent administration fouid a debt, exclusive of interest, amounting to $2, 700,000,- (.00, and from the-a-- of March, 1809, to July 1, 1872, ^ three years au-d live months,) paid $383,976,916.89 if H. 8. Because, while during the whole administra tion of Andrew Johnson, this debt was only reduced $13,655.008, the reduction under Grant for forty -one months has been $8,849,422 each month. 9. Because the administration has already paid 13 21-100 per cent, of the whole debt, and at that raXe not a vestige of It will remain in twenty-one years. 10. Because this has .been accomplished when Grant found prices inflated, trade deranged, the country flooded with paper money worth from 35 to 71 cents on the dollar, the opposition declaring the debt could never IK: paid, t-ome of the leaders de manding repudiation, and a National Democratic Contention insisting its payment should not be made in coin. 11. Because the republican party is the only oue which can y>e depended upon for a certain, prompt, and faithful payment ol the public debt. For the fame reason oif public credit depends upon the Re publicans. REDUCTION OF TAXES. 12. Because, while under Johnson, the annual in ternal taxes and customs duties were $355,885, 560,99, under Grant, these taxes have been reduced at an average of $18?,738,409 t 09 each year of his adminis tration. 13. Because, except on whiskey, beer, tobacco aud a portion of the stamp tax, internal taxes are almost entirely abolished, and the President says iu one of his messages that, "by steadiness iu our present course theie is no reason why, in a few short years, the national tax-gatherer may not disappear from the door ot the citizen almost, entirely." 14. Because it has been one of the cardinal princi ples of this Administration to reduce taxation as much as was compatible with the public interests, and how faithfully this has been done, is illustrated by the fact that, if the average rates of taxation, during the last three years of Johnson s administra tion had been continued and extended over the past three years of Grant s administration, the receipts into the Treasury would have been greater than they were by ttie sum of $238.800,009, all of which im mense amount has been leit in the pockets of the people, being at the rate of $96,266,666 a year. SAVING OF INTEREST. 15. Because the saving of interest made by this Administration has been $22,401,087 in com each year. 16. Because $300,000,000, of bonds have been re* funded at 4% and 5 per cent., thus saving au annual interest of $1,000,000, and up to the maturity of the new bonds will save $20,000,000, aud lead to" the re funding of $1,000,000 more at still lower interest. 17. because the premium on gold, which ranged as high us forty per cent, when Grunt was elected President has beeu as low under his administration as eleven per > TSA AND COFFEB. 18. Because this Administration, mindful of the universal consumption* of tea aud coffee among all classes, yoor .u> well as rich, has made these articles wholly free, ehoosiiur ralhcv tt> t.:ix the luxuries <f wealth than the comfort;-- of llio workitigmau. 1!). Because, by this beneliciont and republic;^ legislation, the people are relieved of a hurd< M <-1 $18,000,000 a year, nunt of it paid by the working classes, who are equal consumers of tea and coilce with the rich, aod wh6 constitute by far the great ost iiiunbcr of purchasers. .- PENSIONS TO SOI/DIRKS. 2 \ Because, notwithstanding all the reductions wl ir-h the Administration hr.s made of the public debt and ot the interest upon it, and of the public taxes, pensions to soldiers have been largely in- creased, a;>d large appropriations have been made to improve rivers and harbors. fcl. Because the Republican party Is the only one which can be depended upon to continue to pay, dur ing their whole existence, the pensions assigned to loyal soldiers, crippled and disabled in lighting against rebellion and treason, and the widows and orphans of those who offered up their lives on the alter of the freedom and union, ot this Republic. COLLECTION OF TAXES. 22. Because, although under the present admlnls- fration, the annual reduction of taxes has been $137,788,409.09, collections have increased $34,000,- o(>> a year, thus t-howing the r gid accountability which has been introduced into the revenue service, and the honesty with which it- has been conducted. 23. Because it is this administration which has consummated all these benefits, has honestly col lected, wuely applied and accounted (or the vast Minis of money expended, has reduced the expenses, upheld the public credit, cheapened the interest, and made the greenbacks almost as good as gold, though only worth half their face under Andrew Johnson. 24. Because, while from March 1, i860, to March 1, 1809, the lust three years under Johnson, the total tux receipts from spirits, tobacco, fermented liquors, banks and bankers, tras, adhesive stamps and penal ties were $231,155,714, during the three years under Grant, from March 4, ISfi j, to March 1, Ib72, they were $389,850,858, showing a gain in favor of the administration of $108,90Jf,639, beiritf over $30,000,000 annually, ornn increase of 47 percent* PUKCHASB AND SUPPRESSION OF BONDS. 2-1. Because this administration under the admir able management and financial wisdom of Secretary Boutwell has effected a large saving of public money, and has made a large redaction ot public indebted ness by the purchase and suppression of bonds to the amount of $266,755,450. A saving has thus been made of $15,147,303.24 in gold, and this without any derangement of the currency or detriment to the public credit., OF breach of contract on the pact of the Government. 2fl. Because, owing to the foregoing reductions the (expenses this year are lees f >r each individual than they were under Washington, and less than they were under any administration since, with only four exceptions, and in the case of these four the advant age is ouly apparent, and but a few cents. 27. Because, under Buchanan, in 1860, the popula tion beiiig 3l;443,321, the expenses were $1.9. > for each pereou, and in 1871, under Grant, the popula tion being 38,555,983, the expensed were $1.70 lor each person. % I Jecaua&v wolte th "1 8 GO, the whole amount ex pended tor public buildings, improvement of rivers and harbors, and other public works throughout the country, was only $2,913,371.48, in 1871 the amount paid tor such improvement warf $10,733,759.05. and making allowance for the increased payments of this kiucl, tue expense per capita under Grant is as small as it has ever beeu since the foundation of the Gov ern merit. 21. Became!, while "nimbull ssi d at -the- Cooper Institute th.it the expense* of tue Government, in consequence of the increased population and in creased demand, and aside from interest and pen sions, ought not to be morw than 33 per ctit. inhaler than before the war, they are actually only 13 nor cent, greater, being $G1,402,408.4 in i860, and only $6cj,684, t 618]92tn Ib7l. 30. Because the retrenchment and reform in G?T>v- ernment expenses already so extensively cairu>d out, wherever the public interests permit "will bo con tinued in every possible direction, and direct taxa tion for national expenses will ho soon wholly extinct. 31. Because this Administration has performed an admirable work, such as no Government on earth has ever previously exhibited that of a vastly in creased extinguishmeut of the public debl, and a very large simultaneous reduction ot taxation. COST OF COLLECTING TIIE nETtWUE. 82. Because, nnder Republican rale, the dost of collecting the custom* revenue has been reduced more than one half since 1800. In th.it year thy per cenC^o of cost to collection* \va* $* >.25~; in IS 1 )*, it was $4.06; in 1870, it was $8.20/and iu 1871, it was $3.11. CIVIL SEUVTCB EEFORlfk 33. Because Grant is tho first President wfto evW recommended and inaugurated a system of Civil Service Reform which makes office dependent upon iairly conducted and competitive examinations; which makes dismission from the public service to Depend upon misconduct, whicu leaves the attain ment of office open to all clashes of citizens alike, i,r- respective of political opinion* and religious cived s, and which deprives the National Executive of all benefits to be derived from clerical appointments. 84. Because to adopt such a system and to puf it in operation Just on the eve of a Presidential election where the President is himself a candidate, shows how devoted he is to the free and unbiassed rule of the people. 85. Because Grant has always disapproved of com pulsory payment by the civil service of the Govern ment, of "contributions for political purposes, or any arbitrary assessments for such purposes, expressly declaring that no officer of any kind should be dis missed or proscribed for repudiating suctr levies, thus leaving all untrammelled a nd entirely free. Ttiis is the action of every Department under Grant, and is exactly tne reverse of preceding Democratic Admin istrations 80. Because delinquents and defaulters htfvtJ been detected, pursued, convicted and punished under Grant with an energy and vigor unsurpassed by any preceding Administration, owing to increased vigi lance in the scrutiny of accounts and a stern enforce ment of the responsibilities ot official station, 37. Because four-tilths of the cases of official -de linquency aud nine-tenths of the loss occasioned thereby, have beeu entailed through the corruption of ollicials, the responsibility for whose appointment rested upon the previous Administration, wliile the present Administration has exposed their dishonesty, removed them from otlice, and, as far as practicable, punished their crimes. 38. Because, under Grant^ (iTe Demo-crufto mte iu regard to oiliciai rascals has beeu reversed, ud in stead of going out of oilice with applause, they now go out oi office to be incarcerated in a prison for fully two-thirds of the embezzlers and defaulters who have been detected during the past three years are now in jail. 39. Because Secretery Boutwell, in a public speech fully vindicates the present Administration in com- ponson with others in regard to defaulters. He says appointees of Mr. Lincoln are defaulters to the amount or !)2\).0<X) ; oi Mr. Johnson, $l,Y5o,t;b 0; of General Grant, -!. BALANCES OF APPROPRIATION. 40. Because one of the great financial reforms now in operation is due to the present Administration, and was established in accordance with the views and recommendations of Secretary Boutwell. This i-j io make every fiscal year pay its own expenses, iind ;tt the end of tuck period to covor all unex pended balances into the general national fund of the United States Treasury, from which they cannot be drawn except in accordance with an express act of Congress. Under Democratic rule, large balancvjs annually remained in the Treasury which could be used by the Department or Bureau for which thev were originally appropriated and even independent of the original appropriation. Now this is completely reformed, and the funds cttnuot be used improperly or corruptly, thus proving the honesty oi the Ad ministration and its fidelity to financial accuracy, in tegrity and economy. INVESTIGATIONS . 41. Because, notwithstanding there were fourteen 41 investigations" instigated or rendered necessary by Democratic slander and misrepresentation, not withstanding every means of scrutiny whether re quiring persons, papers or national expense, were placed at the disposal of the mot vindictive enemies of the Administration, notwithstanding weeks ihid months were consumed in the examination of all the witnesses they chose to call, the result was to show that the Government was untarnished with fraud or corruption. AMNESTY. 42. Because the blatant amnesty cry of theDenio crati* is siopoed by Grant s early recommendation of it, and its adorition by a Republican Congress. The vindictive and scandalous misrepresentation upon this subject by the nefarious coalition opposed to Grunt is completely answered by Grant s own words In his message sent to Congress in December, Ls7o. * More than six years having elapsed, " he says, "since the last hostile gun was tired between {he armies then arrayed against each other, oae lor the preservation, the other for the destruction ot the Union, it may well be considered whether it is uoc r.ow lime that tin; disabilities imposed by iho four- tfc.Mii amendment should be removed." He goes on i<> argue the question at length, to ihe shame of the lactious disor^anizers who are guilty of such i alsehood, respecting his views. -!;> 13e::iu:-e 1 resident Grant, while brave, con o/.i. li.iL , and where necessity required it. inflexible in wi:r and in peace, has been so magnanimous a to provoke criticism, and has shown kindness to South ern rebel.- that ought to crimson the cln-eks ol those who roju-tsent him as relentless and unforgiving. V ; lu:n Lee surrendered h>s sword. Grant said : "Tell your b ys they can take their horses homewiUi them Io lielp them make their crops." When it was con templated under Johnson to try Lee and his fellow oliic.M"- lor treason, Grant snid : "General Lee and In- officers and troops, w h> have been duly paroled cannot be arrested and tried lor l.eason. I protest ifgiiit^t their arrcH. M. Because the very men who re :-:><-ent (Jruit : as opposed to amnesty enow the holl,wness of their pretensions/Mrhen they support for the Presidency :; man who, on the 1st of May, 1S<31, s;ud : "When ihe rebellious irait.oiv are scattered like leaves before an anuiry wind, it tnnM not /v ti>rrf>/rn in peaceful. < t( l fontettful hotiifR. ilnlj ///?/.s/ fn,,l }>,;; ,-t.ii ,/f linn >vf.st</, nndgfy privation in. the dnxiou* eye* of mothers and iluragi <>j <,-/</. j;v;." THIS 13TH, 14YH AND 15TH AMENDM1SNT&. ?45. Because the Republican party alone can main- tain those constitutional amendments, which pro vide against the payment of the public debt con tracted by the ivbel States in their effort to destroy the Union, or to pay the former masters tor their emancipated slaves, which amendments all the Gree- leyites of the South, and inanv of them at the North, declare to be unconstitutional, and that they should be nullified. % 40. Because the Republican party is wholly en titled to the transcendent renown of having conceived and established the 13th, 14th and loth amendments, the great charters of personal liberty, the elective franchise, the right of self-government, each and nil of them encountering the most envenomed, tlu fiercest and the most vindictive opposition in the power of the Democrats. IMPARTIAL SUFFRAGE. 47. Because impartial suffrage, originated and, af ter many an embittered contest,, established by the Republican party, has been protected avid main tained by this administration, and will surely be im paired, obstructed and prevented unless Grant is re- elected. 48. Because President Grant, from the commence ment of the rebellion, has been a decided arid most earnest: friend of suffrage for the colored man, and in his Inaugural of March 4, ISO .), he express -d hint- self thus emphatically concerning the 15th amend ment. "The question of t-uilttige is oue which it. likely to agitate the public so long us a portion of the citizens of the nation are excluded from its privileges in any State. It seems to me desirable that the ques tion should be settled now, and I entertain the nope and express the desire that it may be by the rat: h ca tion of the 15th ariicle of ajj^dment to the constitu tion." Not contented with tLt-e ui:i"iy and e, U;ciive words, he addressed a message to G<ugre>s ou the ratification of the ameudtneut, and made it a medium of counsel and encouragement to the enfranchised race, and of appeal to the nation iu their behalf. 40. Because the credit of the country has constantly improved under this administration, the price of American securities has steadily advanced, and the appreciation oi our paper money is marked by the iall of gold from $1.32 in ISG J to $1.11 in IST 2. 50. Because through the wise management of this administration, American seeuri lies are equal in value to gold, although they were 17 per cent, below it; and even that violent Democratic partisan, James Brook-, wa.-, constrained to admit that "our public credit h;is been lifted to an enviable position through out the whole world." INDIAN POLICY. 51. Because a new policy has been adopted by the i administration in our national re atioii with the Indians, the policy of kindness, conciliation and peace, whereby during the p:ist three years more than S0,0)i Indians have been brought under the super- vision of onr government, and in all the immense e\~- leni, of territory which yet intervenes between ihe settled portions of the country, not more than 50,001) roaming Indians are yet K-maining in it. to be reached. 52. Because through the special efforts and direc tion of the administration large numbers of Indians are being persuaded to cultivate ihe laiidr-<-f their reservations, and there are carpenters, blnctsinUha, tnrmcrs, millers and teachers to the number of jllo aiiii>:.,g them for the purpo6 of instruction. 53. Because Grant prefers to expend Small amounts of money to p;ic;fy civilize a-;u instruct the Ir.dsius, rather than millions upoa millions, as heretofore, to infuriate and kill them. He says to Congress, " I recommend liberal appropriations to carry out the Indian peace policy, not only because ir is more christiau-like and economical, bufc because it is right EQUAL LIBERTY FOU ALL, WHITE OR BLACK. 54. Because the Republican party has always been the true advocate and exponent of iibertv, and now is the only party in these United States which bears that character. " During the late atrocious rebellion and bloody war it buried 350,000 men to maintain the Government of this country and the Union of these States upon the basis of freedom, for equal universal, impartial liberty, liberty for all classes of mankind, without distinction of race, color or birth. 55. Because the Republican party, after it had broken the fetters of 4,000,000 of human beintrs, did not stop with that noble net, nut held the doctrine that the poorest and the blackest man is the equal of the whitest andthe richest. It gave to the freed men, civil and political rights till now the poorest black man, before the law, is the equal of the former domi nant race. 5fi. Because William Lloyd Garrison. Gerritt Smith, Wendell Phillips, Frederick Douglass, and the whole body of the "original abolitionists," men ever de voted to the colored men, and profoundly acquainted with all tliat concerns their interest, are deeply im pressed with a conviction that their lives and for tunes depend on preserving the ascendency of the Republican party. GRANT S NOBLE CONDUCT TO COLORED MEN. f>7. Because, President Grant, during the war al ways occupied an advanced position in respect to Ihe assistance;, encouragement and kind treatment which he extended to fugitive slave?, and this before the Government had fixed its anti-slavery policy. Experience and observation very early made him comprehend the situation, and no previous opinions formed without sufficient liuht, no party prejudices or affiliations could prevent him from immediately acting as far as he could, with humanity and justice to the colored race, 58. Because, as early as November 11. 1862,- before Lincoln had issued his great Emancipation Procla mation, find whtfii thousands of colored men, women and children, thronged bis camp, he, by special orders, Nmr.bers 13 and 15, directed guards to be estab lished for their pro tection, quarters to be assigned lor their use, clothes and provisions to be furnished for their necessities, employment to be given them, and proper compensation to be paid for their labor. The officers attending to these duties were ordered to renorl, to him personally, and he proved himself em phatically the humane, provident and judicious Iricnd of those poor fugitives. 59. Because his sagacity in the winter of 1865, practically inaugurated the Freedmeu s Bureau, and all colored persons were provided by him with ir.eans to teach them sp.lf-support, and to "minister to their moral and intellectual developement, as well as to their physical needs. GO. Because he was among the very earliest of our Generals to encourage the enlistment of colored men, to recognise their equality before the lav/, and to give them ;m honorable position in .ho army. As a Gen eral he appreciated the vast amount of aid such a course would afford the course, of loyalty, and as a state.si.iian he comprehended the benefit it would con fer upon the colored race. fil. Because General Grant was among the first of those who fully and unequivocally took official step.:; to protect colored Mihlirrs. in "a letter to General Lee, dated October 11, lMl-i, Gran I. said: "Is-lmll always regret the uece; sity of r<;Uiii;itiiv.>: lor \vr<m<;s done our soldiers, but regard it my duty to protect ALL persons received into the Amy of the United States REGARDLESS of COLOR OR NATIONALITY." G2. Because Grant conceived the idea of placing freedmen on Southern lands, and protecting them in their work, which he faithfully and successfully did, even amidst all the cares, details, responsibilities, and dangers of the siege of Vicksburg, even in the busi est times, giving his cheerful attention to their com munications and wants, and organizing free labor wherever he went. f 63. Because Grant was convinced faom the com mencement of the rebellion, that slavery must be abolished that liberty might live; and in a letter to Mr. Washburne, dated August 00, 1SGS, he said of the "sum of all villaiuies" that he would not " be willing to see any settlement until this question i.s- for ever settled." 64. Because President Grant, on all proper occa sions, has advocated the political and civil rights of the colored people, and has given them prominence, not only in his private utterances, but, in hi.s execu tive messages and official communications, us. in his mes-age in regard to Mississippi and Virginia, Ai-iil 7, 1869, and in his first annual message, when; he cordially commends the freedmen for their rapid pro gress in learning, their industry, and good conduct, and declares that all should bo protected " without reference to original nationality, religion, color, or politics, only giving in return obedience to laws and proper respect for the right of others." Co. Because the Republican party, by express law, secured the remaining public lands of the Southern States exclusively to the actual settlers, thus afford ing the poorer calsses, whether white or colored, to become freeholders, to possess homes of their own, to establish schools, to form communities and to bo in all respects free and independent citizens. APPOINTMENT OF COLORED MEN TO OFFICE. CO. Because in all departments of the civil service President Grant has appointed colored men to office, and among these appointments are Foreign Ministers, Collectors"of Customs, Assessors of Revenue, Route Agents, Postmasters, Glerks, Messengers, etc., etc.. and this not grudgingly or exceptionally, but. lamely and honorably, find taking pleasure in rewarding merit and doing justice to ability. GRANT AND THE KU KLUX- KLANS. 67. Because President Grant, so far as the law would allow him to go, has interposed between our colored fellow-citizens and the infamous, merciless, ferocious and brutal Ku-Klux assassins. For this interposition he has been denounced as an ambitious Caesar and an unconstitutional tyrant; but neither vituperation or threats have had the smallest influ ence to deter him from the execution of this or any other duty. While he has endeavored to secure c-fli- cient legislation and protection lor the black and white loyalists of the South, the great mass of tliu present Greeley coalition fought against every such attempt, and now to fill the cup of impudent atrocity, they call upon the colored men to abandon their benefactor. PUBLIC LANDS AND WORKINGMtN. 08. Because the Republican party, being the party of the people and of the workinirmen, has always had their interests in view in the management, sale and distribution of the public lands. While the Demo crats, as a party, legislating heretofore in the inter ests of slave-holders, did not favor grants of lands for the purpose of opening up our immense Western regions to fi nitration and settlement, for educational purposes, and for distribution in limited quantities to actual settlers, the Republicans have constantly en deavored to do this. Th^y favored grants of pub .u lands for railroads, canal?/ and wagon-roads so lorn: as the interest of the poor man and actual settler de manded it, and with the attainment of that object they regard the public domain as sacred to iiie poor ami enterprising emigrants, who there seek to cre ate a country and to possess homes of their own. Wh< u this policy came up for consideration in the House of Representatives every republican voted for i^. *. HOMESTEAD LAW, G .i. Because the homestead law was established by the Republican party, and is one of the tirst fruits of its ascendancy, the bill having been vetoed by that creature of the slaveholders James Buchanan in which act he manifested the antagonism to work ing-men which must animate all who enforce servile labor. FKEEDMAN S BUKEAU. 70. Because the Republican party, not content with giving freedom to the slave?, established the Preed- man s Bureau in order to give them an education, protect their rights, secure them employment and compensation, instruct them in trades and tho me chanic arts, and finally, to crown tho whole and make them citizens indeed, endowed them with the ballot, thus enabling them to maintain their own po litical and personal rights, alike against injustice, Aggression, and prejudice. EDUCATION 1 AND WORKINGMEN. 71. Because the Republican party, in the State and in the nation, is devoted to education, to the improve ment, development and elevation of all classes, bnt especially of the workingmen. Amidst Democratic hatred, opposition and denunciation, the Republicans have persevered in their beneHcient legislation for these purposes. It was thev who established public schools in the District of Columbia, who instituted a Department of Education, who incorporated the Howard University, who have created Agricultural and Mining schools in the various States and Terri tories, who have set apart the proceeds of the public l:inds lor the support ot public schools, who exactrd that the Rebel States should not be re-admitted un less their State constitutions provided for a perma nent public school system for all classes, and who are anxious to make every citizen as eminent for intel lectual culture, as he is for freedom and self-govern ment.! 72. Because President Grant, both as a citizen and as the Chief Magistrate of the nation, heartily con curs in these views and gives them utterance in his various messages. * The subjects of education and agricultural," he says, " are of great interest to the success of our Republican institutions, happiness and grandeur as a nation"; "the setting apart sections of public land for educational purposes should bo con tinued.* ; "education is the groundwork of Repub lican institutions"; "the true prosperity and great- riess of a nation is to be found in the elevation and education of its laborers." Such is the uniform tenor o his opinion on this important subject, show ing LuQx&afe, wifie-and enlightened. ?t- EIGHT HOUR LAW. 73. Because the Republican party, in the Congress of 1865-66, introduced the first bill, ever proposed by ny legislators, to constitute eight hours a legal days work. But as even some Republicans, like Lyman Trumbull (now among his qongeuial associates, the Democrats) united with the other opponents ot the measure, thefn/e Republicans, .whose measure it, was, were not able to carry it until Jnne, 1868, when it was passed. 71. Because President Grant, schooled in manual labor and a workinguian himself, was alive, frori: the first, to the importance of thi- 1 . eiiiht hour law, and of the immense influence its legal enactment by the Government, would exercise in private workshops, corporations, farms, and the whole country, lie sanctioned it with zeal, and when on some of the public works, though only eight hours labor a day w:is exacted, the price of two hours work was with held, he interposed, May 19, 1860, in a proclamation to prevent such reduction. On oilier instances of 1 in; abuse being brought to his notice, he again stretched forth the executive aim to protect the laborer, and on May 11, of the present year, he issued another proc lamation, which has effectually, and in all its signifi cance, established this reform for every employee of the Goveruinent. WORKINGS EX. 7"*. Because President Grant never alludes to the workingman without B tender appreciation :<nd kind recognition, which shows how deenly he regards hi.s interest. This is repeatedly manifested in nis mes sages, where the "laborer," the " freedman," the " tiller of the soil," the "pioneer," the "actual set tler" are all considered in terms of commendation, wise measures are proposed for their benefit, and honest industry and hard-handed toil are awarded ihe honor and regard they deserve. " Agriculture," he says : "agriculture is the ground-work of our pros perity." If Henry IV wished that "every pea sant in his kingdom had a chicken in his por, each Sunday for his dinner," Grant not only withes but does his utmost to make every working! nan a free holder, an educated citizen, and as one of the people, a sovereign. 70. Because the Republican party, through the eleventh resolution of its National convention, iden tified itself as tho party of the workingmeu, and as the party which gives clue honor and dignity to labor and to capital, the above mentioned resolution says : " Among the questions which press for attention is that which concerns the relations of capital and laoor, and the Republican party recognizes the duty of so shaping legislation as to secure full protection, anil the amplest, for- capital and for labor, the erefuor of capital, the largest opportunities and a, just share of the mutual prolits oi these two great servant^ of civilization." QK ANT S CIVIL QUALIFICATIONS. 77. Because President Grant, during the three years oi his administration, has exhibited qualities and capacity as a civil ruler which may well be com pared with hi.s trunscemlant military abilities, and have made him alike, in war and in peace,. an in valuable protector and conservator of tlu; rights of all classes and the liberty ot the whole country. 78. Because his excellence as a Civil Magistrate, iid safe, considerate, humane, judicious, and pro gressive political views are strikingly manifested in .iia Inaugural Address and the Annual Messages he jas transmitted to Congress. In these thoughtful md well-considered papers he says that on all niii- ects I shall have a policv to recommend, but none -to enforce against the will of the people;" that "the au s are to govern all alike ; " that he " promises a igid adherence to the laws andi their strict enforce ment;" that his " policy has been to learn the spirit ana intent of laws enacted, and to enforce them ac cordingly;" that it is his "determination to do, to he best of his ability, all that shall be required of Jim by his oath of office;" promises precious to the nation, and which he has conspicuously fulfilled. COMMEKCE, MANUFACTURE*, AND TAHIFP. 9. Because President Grant, as should ever be tin- case with a Chief Magistrate, keeps wisely in view all the great interests of the country, well awari ciosely the various business avocations of a great republic are intermingled and woven together. H< especially, in big messages, calls the attention of 1 on^ress to the state of our commerce. He says " The whole nation is interested in securing cheap transportation from the agricultural States of the West to the Atlantic sea-board. To these States it secures a greater return for their labor; to the in habitants of the sea-board it affords cheaper food to the nation an increase in the annual surplus of wealth. - i igii -gested means for the revival of onr i . pressed c tin r ce, the encouragement and exten sion of onr ;c,intile intercourse, the building 1 of vessels, the in .ease of onr s : tnpin<>-, tho enlargement of our carrying trade, and kindred topics of promi nent und vital importance. 80. Because President Grant is in accord with the nation in fully appreciating the vast utility and in estimable value, of American manufacturer. He ade- quatelv estimates the consumption they give to home products, and the employment and support they furnish to so many thousands of our people. Ex- nsivo as manufactures now are, President Grant 84. Because President Grant has personally inter ested himself in this subject., and has especially and at considerable length called the attention of Con gress to it. He says;, "Invitations have been ex tended to the cabinets of London, Paris, Florence, Berlin, Brussells, The Hague, Copenhagen, and Stockholm, to empower their representatives at Washington to simultaneously enter into negotia tions, and to conclude with the United States, con ventions identical m form, making uniform regula tions as to the construction of the parts of vessels to be devoted to the use of emigrant passengers, a^ to the quality nnd quantity of food, as to the medical treatment of the sick, and as to the rules to be ob served during the voyage, iti order to secure ventila tion, to promote health, to prevent intrusion, and to protect thi> females, and providing for the establish ment of tribunals in the several countries, for enforc (ays in one of his messages I bey will -.become more; and that " it, is to be hoped more diffused, making the interest in them equal in all sections. " Under Republican rule they will ever receive that judicious and constant encouragement which is suited to their condition and needs. 81. Because, under this administration, the tariff, which from the foundation of our government has !>een such a fruitful source of discordant sentiments, conflicting interests, and angry discussion, has been adjusted with a discrimination based upon experience and a fitness resulting from an impartial considera tion of all interests and of the whole country. The adjustment made by the republicans of the last Con gress is admitted even by democratic representatives, to b:; as wise and judicious as the present circmu- titances and state of the country will permit. The ve.conimendations of President Grant upon this im- 1 ><i riant subject were such as must find favor with all classes. He says that bv a tariff " which will put a duty only upon those articles which we could dis pense with, known us luxuries, and on those which use more of than we produce, revenue enough ; .ay he raised, after a few years of peace and conse quent reduction of indebtedness, to fulfill all our obligations." His ideas of "revenue reform" are alike practical and beneficial. 82. Because the business interests of the country absolutely require the thoughtful, safe, and judicious Tin which this administration has extended to Iheni, and which would suffer wreck and destruction at the. hands of the coalition now so desperately seek ing to clutch the reins of power, and to turn the, government into a mart for spoils and plunder. j IMMIGRATION AJU> NATURALIZATION. 83. Because, notwithstanding the persistency of the / niocratic party in seeking the votes of onr natural- ;/eil citizens, it is the liepublican party which is their real friend. The present Administration is the first, that has put forth strenuous efforts for the safety and comfort of immigrants while on their way to our shores, for their protection after reaching our land, :uid for their security and equality after being na- Uualized. To this find not only have treaties been negotiated, but a special agent, peculiarly conver sant with the subject, and thoroughly imbued with interest in it, was dispatched to Europe to present it there, to exchange views and to obtain facts and in- f rmatioa. This task was performed with ability, : .id a cornprepensive and well considered Deport \yas made upon it, which was published by Congress, and. a direction and force have been produced which in dicate the cordiality and welcome entertained by Re publicans toward our naturalized citizens. ing such regulations by summary process. The number of immigrants ignorant of our laws, habits. etc., coming into our country annually, has become KO great, and the impositions practised upon them RO numerous and flagrant, that I suggest Congressional action lor their protection. It seems to me a fair subjecr, of legislation by Congress." 85. Because the Republican party, always true to its fellowship with all men, irrespective of cast"-, color, creed or nationality, who seek our land in order to become peaceful and industrious citizens, has lately, in its National convention, called the attention of the nation to this subject, by the following resolu tion : "The doctrine of Great Britain and other EuroneantPowers concemiher allegiance, once a sub ject always a subject., having at last, through the ef forts of the Republican party, been abandoned and the American idea of the right to transfer allegiance having been nccpted by European nations, it is the duty of our Government to guard with jealous care. tho right of adopted citizens against the assumption of unauthorized claims by their former Government, and we urge continual, careful encouragement and protection of voluntary immigration." ALL CITIZENS TO BE PROTECTED. 86. Because President Grant, as far as a factions and filibustering opposition would allow, has en deavored to protect every American citizen, whether native or foreign born, and has been actuated by the sentiment of Solon, that " an injury done to the most humble individual should be regarded by the Gov ernment as an outrage on tho whole Constitution." And this, whether the victim was a black man in a Southern cabin^ or a white uiubuswidor in a foreign court. JJOLYGAMY. 87. Because, while admitting the sacred principle of religious liberty, and tho right of every man and woman to entertain, to advocate, and to promulgate, as long as they respect tht rights of others, any opinion whatever of a theological character, Presi dent Grant is not, willing to tolerate or to legalize polygamy in the United States or in any of our Ter ritories. Upon this vital subject, he says : " In Utah there, still remains a remnant of barbarism, repug nant to civilization, to decency, and to the Jaws of the United States. Territorial officers, however, have been found who are willing to perform their duty, in a spirit of equity, and with a due sense of the neces sity of sustaining the majesty of the law. Neither polygamy nor any other violation of existing statutes will be permitted within the territory of the United States. It is not with the religion of the self-styled Saints that we are dealing, put with their practices. They will be protected in the worship of God, ac cording to tho dictates of their consciences, but they will not be permitted to violate the lawa under tho cloak of religion." >, ANII <;K/\NT. great services o I (Ji.-iut must ever riiic iiis tame wi:h tht, of Washington a^d Lin coln. Washington secured our Independence from n domination. Lincoln proc. aimed liberty throujrhon a!! the land and released us fro:n the df slavery. Grant rescued us from the ca : ami- lies and dangers of a civil war ?uch as UOV<T was .] betbro in unv ;u>.e or land, rind establish. ! us as u free nation. Washington gave us a republic, alrenvards nnliapi)ily corrupted by slavery. Lincoln purified, exnhed, and regenerated it. Grant .-aved it trom the destruction which parricidal hands madly endeavored to inflict, and has blessed us with pros perity and peace. "Washington WHS the founder, Lincoln the restorer. Grant the preserver of our Iibert3\ Twice did the country call both Washing ton and Lincoln to the Presidency, and the. natioji has now decreed the same term of service to Grant, their peer.

Isiythis on my conscience; and I say this at the same time that 1 admit thai he has .some faults." PLATFORM or PRINCIPLES. 02. Because the platform of principles put forth bv the Republican e pa Natio nal Convention, is one upon which every lover of freedom can stand, which peals with a noble pride to the ulorious acts of the Republican party duriiiir the past eleven \ears, and marks out a course for the future alike suited to all sections of the country, and to all the inhabitants 89. Because this nation owes it to itself to vindicate hereof. .

GRANT S PERSONAL SACRIFICE. commerce and ship-building; and an enthusiastic endorsement of Grant and Wilson. These are the topics of -the Republican platform, and there is noth ing comprised in it which can fail to meet ili<- ap proyal of every enemy of slavery, every lover of hu man rights, every friend of real reform. It compre hends all the varied interests of the Government and 90. Because President Grnnt mode a Jireat personal the people. sacrifice when he consented to be the Presidential candidate oi the Republicans in 1<G8. Pie was at that time entirely content with his position, and pecuniarily it \uis far better for him, but he gave it lip at the call of the same country he had saved he yielded his own wishes to that of the pnriy of liberty und prouress. Senator WiUon, in u speech delivered in Kendall ville, Indiana, relates hia own personal knowledge concerning Grant s first nomination. He says : " We went to Grant and soirt to him General, you must be our candidate, his answer was I have" no public experience. There are hundreds of men in the country better fitted for the Presidency than I am. am General of the army, and I have a good salary. 1 , It is a lite office and I am a poor man. If I serve four years, i thall probably then go out and have g to do at m\ aura of life, and I have no pro- o or trade by which to support my family. You tter take somebody else. I say here before man und God that that was General brant s position" tour -years nyo. We thrust the candidacy for the rreitiency upon him, wejnade him take &, and the nation took Jam* i, f GRANT S OFFICIAL AND DOMKSTIC CHARACTER. ftl. Because President Grant is personally and socially a man whom the people may justly admire, and for whom thev may -constantly cherish an affec- tionaie enthusiasm. I n i,j s Ke ndailville speech, Senator \N ihon speaks of Genettil Grant s habitsanu domestic character. He says : of the THE GREELEY PLATFORM. 93. Because the platform of the Greeley Democrats, so lar as it contains any principles of value, is only "Republican thunder," which was stolen by the Cin cinnati couspirators and soreheads, who sought, to delude the people by assuming Republican virtues wheu they had them not. President Grant had fur- uibhed this thunder in his messages, and they stole it and maligned its author at the same time. They mixed poison with what they stole, and cunningly covered up in their concoction, the abandonment of the colored man to Ku-Klux power and other iuis- eheivous doctrines which would bear speedy aud destructive fruit, were it possible for the country to be cursed by the election of Horace Greeley. GOOD EFFECTS OF REPUBLICAN RULE. 94. Because, under Republican rule ( except where so-called "Liberal Republicans," Tammany ruffians, Ku-Klux assassins, and Greeley Democrats prevent) there is throughout this republic, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freeeom of action, obedience to law, prevalence of order, peace and general pros perity. But under Democratic rule, in those portions ot the country where Democrats and the brutal slave sv^ Mii had complete power, freedom of speech and of the press were proscribed, freedom of action cir cumscribed, freedom of locomotion contr ilK-d, and murder and assassination, and the terrible evils of a demoralized .society were rile, and were never oven I measurably suppressed, until slavery was nb^Hshed, accusations made i and Lincom and Grant presided ovr the BALEFUL FFJ5CT U5. Because, \veie 1be Democrats n-r.tom l to ] .owe chaos would cmnc, :igain, utui a party of react ioi Avould control .ho <oviTinnrut and exhibit scene; similar to t . >s<..: winch occurred on the return o Charles the Jl lo Kiit land, ami \vhieh were witnessei in I ( raiH-e when tin- j.ionrbons wcm re-instated. Tiic consequences which would necrue from Democratic rule, have been portrayed by a writer whom the (ireeley Democrats are" bound to respect.. Thi writer sisys: " The brain, the heart, tho soul of the present Democratic party is tin; rebel element of liie South, with its Northern aiiius and sympathizers. It is rebel at the cure to-day. It would come into power with the hate, the phagrin ; Iho wrath, the mortifica tion of ten bitter years to impel and gui lo its steps. It would devote iv.selC to taking off or reducing tax after tax until the Treasury was deprived of the means id paying interest ou the national debt, und would hail the tidings of national bankruptcy with unalloyed gladness ami. unconcealed exultation. Whatever chastisement may bo deserved by our na tional sins, we must hope that this disgrace and hu miliation would be [.-pared us." The-ie- were GitUEiasy s o\vn utterances a year ago.

They were nominated by an unscrupulous coalition representing ncithi r . integrity, or principle by a piebald faction, incited only by hopes of power and plun der, and united by nothing except an insane hope to "beat Grant. " Horace Greeloy and B. Grate Brown are thus in the camp of the Philistines aud among the worshippers of Baal, where they must Jind fraternity and .support. To their former associates they have become renegades, aud now affiliate with Tammany thieves and Kuklux Klans. KEPUBLICAN KECOGN1TJLON OF WOMEN. 07. Because Republican administrations have recognized women in the bestowinent of otlicc, und President Grant has appointed them to positions of responsibility and im portance more than all preceding Presidents. The four teenth resolution of the National liepublican Platform shows that merit and rights are habitually respected by Republicans: "The Republican party is mindful of its obligations to the loyal women of AmeVica for their noble donation to the cause of freedom, their admission to wider iields of usefulness is viewed with satisfaction, aud the honest demands of any class of citizens for additional rights should be treated with respectful consideration." KEACTION THREATENED. {IS. Because there is noto a momentous crisis in the af fairs of the nation ; a coalition has been formed of aspir ants, Soreheads, rebels, kuklux, copperheads, and sham democrats, to nullity aud, if possible, to annihilate what has been achieved by the Republicans during the past eleven years. The cause of equal rights demands the as sistance of all its friends. Not one of them ought to stand aloof because all the movements of the Republicans are not approved, or became till the acts of Grant do not meet a unanimous endorsement. Vital principles are at stake, and to desert them at this time ou account of petty details Nvniild he, to use a simile of Wendell Phillips, to criticise a man for awkwardness when he is defending you iroiu assassins. HENKY AVir.SON s GREAT WORTH AND SERVICES, iH>. Because the republicans present .Senator Ilonry "Wilson |,o the nat mu as their candidate for the Vice Presi dency. ;s"o more fitting nomination was eviT made. It is a tribute to exfeellence, integrity, and eminent ability. In him. we behold a representative of the workingmeu, wliose every pul.^o b/.-i s in accord with theirs; who was born among them; who bus tailed the bitterness of poverty, even to asking his mother for bread when she had none to give him; who had c -.dured he fatigues of hard -haudad- labor; who vuiidy " HUH be-ir d a lu-nther To give him leave to Ihc ;n-tb wln, ihii.wil hsiandiie: all thc.sc hai dsbtps, all i hef ilrm-ivn- tions, all those cruel obstateles, broke thronph them all, am! by On- powers of his own brain It;:.; mounted to an c !evr- ticn unattainable by the favorites < : ii.rlm.e and the < iiild- ,1 e.n of wealth.

Because this republic owes an iJ!caleiii;d>le debt of gratitude to the illustrious general who brought us safely ut of the vortex of rebellion, and carried us Safely through the mightiest civil war whieli history records; who, after serving as a soldier in Mexico, had a "varied experience as pioneer, farmer, and trader, and learned to tmlure, to pcr- Ms;,a:nl never to despair; who was :iroi;scd from his hum le and contented position by the firing on J- ort Sumlcr; tvho, four days after the proclamation of Lincoln for troops, lad raised a company for t lie contest; who for sujm time was engaged, as iibci idly as himiblj , in drilling tiie volun- ;eers; who was appointed colonel without any request or t now lodge of his own, and ultimately, step by step attained he highest-military rar.k ever Known in this country . romotiou being without his soliciraiion; who - siirucd to the District of Southeast Missouri; who, i.t.-im- "esting immediately that prompt and courageous inspiration vhich ever actuated him, seized Paducah. and thus secured xentucky to the Union; who then cmerecl upon a series <.f victories such as the world had never before witnessed Taring, brilliant, marked with, the most profound military >kill, consummate in conception, masier .y in execution, jailing into requisition the highest powers of the intellect, ringing into play every great quality of the human mind iourggej firmness, wisdom, foresight, magnanimity, cxecu- ive ability, genius; who gained so many important battles hat only a portion of them can be mentioned Belmonl., <\>rt Henry, Fort Done .son.
