Grant and Hayes.

Baltimore Gazette. Mr. Hayes is receiving much attention and talking platitude in New England. Grant is receiving much attention and talking platitude in Old England. In both cases the purpose is the manufacture of “sentiment,” or the making of political capital, and in both it is doomed to certain fuilure. Grant has at least this one advant age— such as he is he is genuine. He is not a fraud. He never made any pretence to any elevation of character, but openly and barefacedly kept Treasury plunderers, jobbers, thieves and Knaves about him, and protected them in their rascality to the last. But Mr. Hayes stands in even worse position. The pumped-up enthusiasm in Boston amounts to very little, for underneath the forms and shows of respect, every sensible man and woman in New England looks upon him as a fraud.

With the majority were Byron and Franklin, “and I want to be able to grasp their extended hands,” he said, “if I have to go to hell to do it—and, by the way, all in favor of going to hell with me, say ‘aye.’” The audience all shouted “aye,” together. It really seems easy enough for a skillful exhorter to get recruits for either place.
