This Whig clement {s ontspoken in, this: that they yote with the Democracy as being the least of two evils; that radical Republicanism cannot, control their yotes. This Whig clement both North aud South has never been entirely satisfied with the two parties with which it has cast its Interests, Neither Tilden nor Grant is tha choice of tits element, The leaders of the two partics ure not congoninl with this class, At tho noxt Presidential election the Whig clement will choose between the two candidates, and that party which offers the best man will control it. Itisn fact that these Whigs of the South have voted with the Democratie party, but their heart wns not In the work, and to-day they denounce the Democrats aud acknowledge that they vote with them be- cause the Republicans do not offer them a chince to fall tnto thelr ranks, Tho anti-Grant movement {n the Repub- lican party hos alrendy taken sliape, and will bea power jn the next election, ‘Tho Ger- may element is also opposed to Grant's re ee ctlon, ‘ ‘Tho question occurs, How can tho Repub- licans control and unite these opposing ele- ments?

To the Editor of ‘The Chicago ‘Trbune, Cirtoaao, May 13.—Plense allow nte space in your valuable paper to state my reasons for advocating tho numination of the Hon, dames G.

Someof our peopto are holding Grant meetings, and, after n careful and closo observation, I have come to tho conclusion that they are allowing thelr enthusinsm for the inan to get possession of their better Judgment, Lhave until Inte- y moved along the same beaten trail used by those nround ine, but am fully satisfed that Thave found 2 broader and better path In folowing the adherents and supporters of James G, Blaine,—n man who fs a true Re- publican, one who has advocated and mali aned all true Republican principles fear- lesly, honestly, and fatthfully, and ting adyo- cated the rights of the eoldred people with all the vigor and strength of his: character, and fg surely entitled to the highest honors the people can_ bestow upon hin, the P dency of the United States, Whut has Gen. Grant done for the colored race? Whi should they help fo put hin in the Presideti- (al chair? Twhtndmit he has done mueh for his country, and his country has done much for him, Is not two ‘terms enough? Itwas for Washington. Besides, there are somo durk spots tn his Administra- tion that will not rub ont. [will call your: attention to his Administration when tho colored people In the South, of all ages and sexes, Were murdered, burnt up in their houses, lynched, and suffered all kinds of brutal treatment atthe hands of a Democratic South, L will state that f have never heard of any who participnted in that bloody affair valine brought to [ntles. On the contrary, the Ieader of that Hamburg massiere, one of the coldest-blooded and crucl tragedies ever enacted Inn civilized country, is to-day a member of Congress. inaking luws for a free ant enlightened Republic.” Which Is one very strong objection to a third term for Gen, Grant. 1 believe that the. majority of tie delegates to the Chicago Conyen- tlin will be for Blaine, and espechuly 80, they could come — uninstructed. In othor words, tha machine polltietans who held offices under Grant’s Inst Administra- tion are more-anxlous to have iw nomi hated than he is to accopt, thereby hoping to eet into office again... "The ofllecholders of his last Administration were tho worst thing about it.
