Beecher Endorses Grant Third Term At Lincoln Club Event
The Lincoln Club of New York on Lincoln’s birthday hosted Henry Ward Beecher who urged reelecting General Grant and even proposed a possible third fourth or fifth term. Speakers Edwards Pierrepoint and Dr. Newman backed Grant amid Lincoln ritual. Beecher argued for stability and continuity in government and praised Grants competence and plain speaking. He contrasted biblical signs with modern faith in intellectual progress and urged individual responsibility in churches and nations. The remarks touched on religious history from Christ to the reformation and warned against overreliance on miraculous signs.
