Both issues were filled with election results throughout the states. U. S. Grant and Hora tio Seymour were the contestants with Seymour losing in Novem ber. The Bee celebrated the Re publican sweep with a poem, 'Grant Is Our Leader,' which started out 'Yes, we'll rally round the polls, boys, rally once again, shouting for General Grant and freedom . . .!' Whereas the Senti nel proclaimed in big print from their telegraph: 'GOD AND LIB ERTY!!! GRANT AND COLFAX. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Nebraska All gone Republican. GOOD - BYE SEYMOUR!'
