Ileeclier on Grant.
The following are the remarks of Rev.
Henry Ward Beechcr at the Lincoln Club
dinner in New York the other day : In re
sponding to the toast "Our Country," he
said:
"It is not in the power of any man that
ever lived to have guided this country to
prosperity in a shorter period than has
elapsed since the inauguration of General
Grant. I think so remarkable a recovery
after war has not been recorded in the na
tional life of any country. It is alleged
that General Grant had about him men
not so wise nor so good as himself.
(Laughter.) I only wonder, gentlemen,
that there were not more of them. This
state of affairs was produced by the war,
by the bloating of the whole country ; and
the rot and corruption that had entered
the whole community was such that I
marvel that In; with all his integrity and
and strong practiele sense, was able to do
as well as he did. He was able to come
out from eight years of experimental ad
ministration without a spot on his person
al integrity; with a record in which there
are no mistakes and no stitches let down.
From the time of his inauguration down
to the close of his administration the af
fairs of the nation were steadily creeping
back to a sound foundation; and to speak
of that part of his record is as great a
compliment as can be paid to any man.
"Then came the inauguration of our
President Haves. It is said he struck out
no new and dazzling career; that he has
not shown the genius of a statesman.
Gentlemen, when the physician meets
with a patient, and, after diagnosing his
case, finds that he needs rest and recuper
ation only, is he not as skillful as the phy
sician who keeps drugging Liu* patient be
yond the possibility of his getting well?
It was so in regard to the prosperity of
our country. Much has been done to fur
ther this prosperity, and we stand now on
the eve of one step further. Allow me to
■ say in the first place, that if I had my own
way I would vote for General Grant to
come back. (Applause.) I should vote
for him partly because I wish to bear tes
timony against that heresay third term.
I refuse to allow any party or any political
faction to take away from me the right to
call again to office that officer who has ful
filled the functions of his office to the sat
isfaction of the majority of his country
men; because I believe that I have the
right to ask that he should try again.
(Laughter.) 1 don't believed ingoing into
an election handicapped. If a horse has
won a race lie ought not to he so over
weighted that he has no chance to
run against other competitors. [Ap
plause.] I should select him not merely
as a testimony of my objection to the
heresy mentioned, tint also as a protest in
behalf or the right of the people to choose
the man they went. What we want in our
government is stability and continuity. It
is a point Of weakness that our present
President holds, office only four years, and
occasions unnecessary disturbance of
our affairs throughout the whole country.
And yet to have an officer elected for life
would be going to the other extreme.
The best thing, therefore, is to re-elect
the inan found competent for the office,
and whocommands the respect and con
fidence of"our citizens. Therefore, I hold
that a third term is in proper order, and
may be a wise tiling—or even a fourth
term. [Applause.] And even then, if you
want him, if lie has your confidence, you
might give liiin a fifth term. It takes I
a man four years to learn how to lie a!
President, and four more years how to do !
it with any considerable degree of Hiicc.e>. '
Four years after that he will know his
business; he will be able to go by in
stinct.
•'lf I had the whole vote to give myself
I should certainly elect General Grant.
I think General Grant is, perhaps, the
most remarkable man that our age has
produced in America.
"Well, suppose you don't want Gener
al Grant? Suppose J am not to be allowed
to give this wholesale vote? Suppose it is
Mr. Blaine? Well, this country is not
going to perish if we do not have General
Grant. lam not going to say anything
against Mr. Blaine. lie is a brilliant
man, so far as the canvass is concerned.
After he is in he will be like nobody else
if he does not quickly learn the duties of
his place.
"I think Mr. Washburne would be agood
and substantial President after the Presi
dency had made him. But you might
prefer Secretary Shermany. I think
Sherman would be an admirable candi
date if he would only run well. [Laugh
ter.] I don't know that he would. I
think lie would in New York, and wher
ever men know much about commerce
and about finance. But there is only
about one merchant in five hundred who
who knows anything about finance and
and not one in a million of ordinary peo
ple who know much about it. Therefore
it is barely possible that thorough
men's ignorance we may lose the best
candidate that can be presented to us.
Mr. Sherman is one of those who will
adorn private life eminently. I might
mention other men that would make ad
mirable Presidents."
The Pittsburg Chronicle states that the
strike of miners in the Panhandle region
lias about ended, and nearly all the strikers
in the coke regions have resumed at old
rates.
