Gen. Grant for President.

The signs Of the times point almost
Enthusiastically to the nomination of Gen
Grant for President by the Republican |
National Convention which meets at
Chicago next May. There may be
other men equally competent for the
elevated position, and would discharge
its duties with consummatc ability, /
but on no one, as the matter now
looks. can the Republican party more
cordially unite than on him. Enthu-
siastic meetings have been held in |
New York, Boston and other cities
and towns, and by voice and vote the
large numbers in attendance expressed
their decided preference for Grant
From these and other public demon
STATIONS that arc taking place in va
rious sections of the country it is easy
TO see that the people are wide-awake
and are determined to have the man
of their choice.
The most serious objection, perhaps,
which has been urged against Gen.
Grant for the Presidency is that he is
military chieftian. This was we'll dis
posed of by Judge Russell in his speecl
at the Boston meeting the other even
ing, in the following language: THE,
thn 20 ,,At,,nr, lN,f "a, al, of
tain How can they say that in the
presence of that military chieftain
who, as l have read, had some success
IN governing the United States o
America, pointing to the picture o
Washington.) What are the quail
ties we want in President ? The,
are executive ability, clear head anC
strong will, the power of selecting wis
men to stand around him, magnanim
ity in managing those men in on
word, the power to use the brains an,
hands of others. That is what W
want in President; and that is jus
what makes u great general; and tina
is just what Z. S Grant possesses i
the highest degree"
The following from the Bosto
Traveller is well put:
Let the Repub lean National Con
venton fairly nominate General Gran
for the Presidency, and he will /

any Republican, be such II fool as
