matter who the nominees may be they will gain undivided support from their respective parties in california party ranks are impregnated with various elements that will mold irto the party issues at the proper time while in nevada liko elements exist but in a leas pronounced degree As an individual I entertain no doubts for republican success in nevada and california whoever receives the republican nomination will receive the vote of california and nevada my personal opinion is that tho republican party cannot ignore gen grant his past record as a successful general nd civil officer has inspired the american people with in his ability to successfully conduct the affairs of tho vast and rapidly developing country through any difficulty that may spring the future that is during his adkins of tho afi airs of any office to which he may be elected and right here I may advance an other personal belief to the effect that if tho republican party does not ta koGen grant up the democratic party will and nut only this but elect himself also if nominated by the republicans why then in my opinion the democrats will hardly amount to a party their tion will be complete and their forces beyond rally ing gen grant s record and military career as I said before qualify him better for abo presidency than any other man on this continent heis a man better calculated to disarm sectional feelings and make tho country harmonious than any other and this it will be readily confessed is the great point aimed at or should be by both parties it is certainly alio point for which the republican party will legislate and contend in he future afdem candidates II ancock thurman and bayard leave been closely canvassed by the tho in favor of the former gentleman I regard dunces for
