Democratic surrender proposal mocked by Missouri Republican
The Missouri Republican, once a Democratic paper, urges Democrats to nominate no one for President and Vice President next year and support a Republican candidate like Schurz. The plan fears a Grant renomination by Radical allies, while opponents accuse it of a deception to split the party. Chicago Times notes Democrats would still field at least one candidate elsewhere.

President’s Son Named In A Splendid Government Vessel Expedition
A few days hence the government vessel Wabash will depart with important freight. A junketing expedition is planned for Fred Grant, Commodore Allen, General Sherman, and the wife of Ban croft Davis, the corrupt assistant secretary of state. The group will travel abroad at public expense to mingle with European dynasties, supposedly elevating Ulysses Grant’s social standing and personal prospects. Rumor suggests foreign potentates may learn of Ulysses Grant’s openness to presents, with amusing speculation about Arabian horses and Spanish jackasses aboard.
