defeat at the Presidential election, and
as they preferred victory with GRANT to
defeat with somebody else, all he had to
de in order to secure the nomination was
to make them believe that the glory of
his military renown would counterbal-
auce the unpopularity OF the party. An
effort wmsmccordingly made to get mp a
show Of enthusiasm IN his behalf,
and he doubtless awaited such
popular manifestation with perfect con
fidence. 1t is hardly necessary to say
that he has been disappointed. The peo-
pie heard his name in connection with
the Presidency and remained calm.
Nothing could be more evident than
that those who had made up their minds
to vote against the Radical nominee
would not be diverted from their pur-
pose by such nomiqation being given to
GRANT. Seeing this Jrauy of those who
at first were willing TO support him
from motives Of expediency are alrrSdy
turning upon hin tbecell shoulder. u

A Card.

The undersigned hear som hundreds
of persons that certain party in this
city is ipdustriously proPagating aTe-
port that one or both the Principals
Of the National Business College are
about to withdraw from that institu-
ton. The public is respectfully but
earnestly assured that the assertion is
grossly and Indignantly false that
neither of us have, or have had, any
idea of any change, of either place or
occupation, or of any other course than
straightforward continuance in our
respective avocations in said College;
and we respectfully solicit continu-
anee, of that very liberal patronage
which has been accorded to us hitherto,
and which is doubtless the secret cause
of the hbelous slanders above denonnc-
ed. sE HITCHCOCK & Dow.

General Grant aud the Presidency.

General GRANT will never be Presi-
dent of the United States. He has
played his cards the best he knew how,
bnt it is very clear that he will fail to
win the game. For season he and
his peculiar admirers seemed to think
little more would be necessary than n
formal announcement of his candidacy,
when the proper time came, to secure
his election almost by acclamation.
The idea was that he was To run as the
nominee Of no particular party, but as
a sort of peoples candidate, and hence
the Generals long and carefully main
tained reticencc upon the political
topics of the day. Even yet a coterir
of wealthy New York merchants, who
are uneasy about their bonds, seem not
to have given over all hope that he may
be successful as Il kind of business non
political candidate, but everybody else,
including GRANT himself, has.
Satisfied ut last that his only way to
the Presidency lay through regular
party nomination, the ambitious Gen
eral no longer endeavOred to SIN oud
his political views in mystery, and soon
his Endorsement of the Congressional
policy of reconstruction and thorough
Identification with the Radical party
was made manifest. Now he doubtless
thought he would have little difficulty
in getting the nomination of the Re
publican Convention; after which he
hoped his military fame and personal
popularity would enable him to beat
the Democratic candidate. 1t Would
have pleased him, better to be made
President without opposition, but as
that was impracticable, he determined
to make his way 10 the White House as
best he might. There was strong rea,
son for believing that General GRANT
would not be disappointed in his expec
tation of obtaining the Radical nomin
alton. True, he was not by any means
the favorite of the leaders, but recent
events had proved to those leaders thai
the party was in imminent danger O.

,Eh. Ward Ncciiugs.

The Ward meetings for the selection
of delegates to the city Convention and
the nomination of candidates for C1un-
ell. will hc held this evening. We urge
the Importance of a fall attendance at
these meetings. An important election
is at hand and in the preliminary steps
We need full expression of popular
sentiment. The nominations wlG then
be more satisfactory because they will
be the result of general action.
In the selection of delegates to the
Convention great care should be taken
that they be representative men. Men
who do not know the popular wish and
can do nothing for it, have no business
in Conventions that should express tho
will If the patty. The Ward meetings
are the place to utter personal scnti-
mcnts. ont Conventions speak for the
masses.
The candidates for Council should be
chosen with great circumspection. We
want men of ability and prudence IN
such places. The people are scrntiniz-
ing appropriations with the closest at
teu,inn and they demand that their
funds .bal! hr expended with a sparing
hand. Give us, then, men for the City
Council whose policy will he one of
great economy.
Another qualification is Of ~ political
character. We want sound aud rciia-
bic Democrats Let us have no weak
knccd brethren in the front seats of the
synagogue. The cry of "mo poll
ties in local affairs is u de
vice of the enemy. We do not
indol>c this idea and if our
views are wrong we have n venerable
precedent in the past course If Radical
ism. We believe that to make ultimate
success sure we must carry mot only
States, but counties, precincts, school
districts, wards, and, if need be, blocks
aud streets
We close with the hope that every
man who feels an interest in the welfare
of our city, not less than the party, will
attend and take part in the proceedings
at the ward meetings tonight,
