Sumner on Grant as Nation Awaits Nomination in Philadelphia
The piece reviews Charles Sumner’s four hour denunciation of President Grant’s policies in Monday’s Chicago Tribune, praising his mastery and scope while noting a common man's faultless critique. It contrasts Sumner’s rhetoric with Grant’s forthcoming nomination and urges Republicans to unite for the nation’s good. It closes with local notes on Bureau Junction’s railroad town character and a visit to its school.
