because it is one no gentleman could re-
ceive or should have signed, and because
it is incorrect and untrue in many parti-

ciple, and believes ths. another RepublI-
can candidate for President can be Sc
lected, who will encounter less opposi-
ton and win more support than Gen.
Grant, and be therefore advocates such
selection. But should his views be over
ruled, and the General nominated, he holds
his election infinitely more preferable to
that of any candidate whom the Demo
Gratis may nominate. His personal views
impel him to deprecate Democratic na.
tiona triumph as one of the gravest
national cslamities, and this is his main
reason for wishing the selection of Re
publican candidate for President who
viii be more certain of success than Gen.
Grant.
