In to-day's Stun we publish extrac_
from a speech recently delivered
Baton Rouge by General George A.
Siheridan. Geneal Sheridan has froml
the flrst been one of the foremost I
leaders of the Republican party- in I
Louisiana. He gives a very racy i
sketch of General Grant's friends in
that State, who, like his friends in I
this State, seem fully bent upon
destroying the party thereain order to
secure a Grant delegation to the I
national convention.
General Sheridan's likenees of the
President's principal supporters in
Louisiana are as graphic as his denun
ieations of military despotism there
are scathing.
