A large Grant rally in Chicago on the 15th drew enthusiastic crowds as Republicans rally around General Grant. The article contrasts Grant with Blaine and discusses Ohio and Lima conventions, speculate on ticket hopes and political shifts amid Democratic opposition and reform debates.
The New York Tribune notes the absence of any faction seeking a non partisan candidate. It highlights Senator Edmunds as a quintessential partisan urged by Scratchers for nomination. The piece argues government requires parties and laments Democratic party dependence.
The writer predicts a 70,000 vote majority for General Grant in Georgia if he is the Republican nominee and Tilden heads the Democratic ticket. He notes South Carolina convention delegates lean to Blaine as a second choice and only comments for Georgia.
The author challenges the idea that General Grant’s reelection threatens the government. He argues no single man can destroy a republic of forty million, and urges opponents to cite specific faults if they oppose a renomination, not claim the system is endangered. He frames the argument as an attack on American government and freedom.
