The Indianapolis Journal notes the Grant letter to Pennsylvania Republicans as a political bid for a third term. The piece contrasts public opinion with some praise from organs while reflecting on the graves decoration ceremonies as a national unity gesture, lauding the Cincinnati Gazette’s call to end the flower-placing on graves.
The Grant letter prompts varied readings as observers suggest the great man would again sacrifice if urged by the country.

Wendell Phillips and Grant's view on using his name to block Democrats emerge, while McClellan earns a pardon from Illinois Governor Beveridge.
