this morning doubts whether the
most fertile political Inauguration
could invent a more PrepOsterOus pro-
ceeding than that was acted yester-
day at Philadelphia. The assumption is
that body Of delegates, freely chosen
and possessing full liberty TO vote for or
against any candidate, nominated Cen
eral Grant for President. The fact is
that actually the delegates to the Phila-
delphia Convention had no more real
liberty than the presidential electors
have in voting for President; 50 far as
regards the first name on the ticket the
Philadelphia Convention was a mere
body. Grants nomination
was fixed four or five months ago. The
people, meaning by the people, the
masses of the Republican party, had
to do with it.
The World says that Grant is one of
the weakest candidates the Republicans
could put in the field. The last crown
ing blunder of ais administration, the
management of the Alabama treaty, is
so fresh that only a packed convention
could have nominated him, and con-
eludes by saying that he will be an easy
man to beat.
