rHH.U UPRISING FOR GRANT.

Tne OptlcS OF nmOltlouS partlshnS IN
catching glimpses Of the coming man,
are rs keen. as those Of money-changers
in foreseeiug n rise in stocks. Oneiof
the surest proofs Of the acknowledged
availability, increasing popularity, and
inevitable destiny Of a public man, is n
scramble among aspiring politicians to
climb upon his shoulders. Tiongh OFT
times embarrassing to him, and individ-
ually profitable toFthem, this kind Of
adulation cannot be avoided in q coun-
try whore politics occupy the time'and
thoughts Of. nearly the, whole populace,
and where ofice-seeking is cultivated as
an art BY mem Of learning and genius,
and as q remunerntive vocation by those
Of more prosaic and practical qualities.
The only. escape from it by any probable
candidate for the Presidency, whose tall
ents or achievements lift him so high
abovo, his fellows'as to attract the eye
of the nation, is to repudiatc tho prof
fered honor In terms that nobody can
misunderstood or call in question. Few
Of those enrolled on the list from which
the selection is to be made are disposed
to do this ; nor, indeed, ought they. A
public man is, in q broad sense, public
property ; and il he would prevent the
use Of his name by his fellow. citizens,
no muss withdraw from tho political
arena altogether.
