Here is i liuw it talks to the Pieident, at the ; c'.oio of a lmgthy ait:c e on the subject sub-ject : : I're.sid;nl Grant ha.-: entered upmi ! that two years of critical time which ! will determine his re-election to the i Presidency of tho Union he did i much to ,-ave, and hi- linul place in the hi.-tuiy of tho uiagnilicent natii 'U whose I h'-aikiiip is the greate.-t irize that hxkt iell io tue tiiii :jit ! in ofnicftal iun.

Come, President Grant, victor in a hundred battles, respond to our call ! Let intrigue in-trigue and hesitation cease, and say the word which liberates America from Spain at last and stamps you forever in history as the hero who not only saved the Lniou hut remained glorious and faithful to the end. Let it no; be said, for the sake of us all as for your own, let it nni be said by some caustic Tacitus of the future, "Tina soldier might have been pronounced a great man if he had not been President of the United States." |
