! But it is said that President Grant
should retire at the end of his tarm. and
give place to another. Common sense,
however. argues that his having been
good president once is strong reason why
he should be president twice. Thus did

made mistakes. In beautifully modest
language does he himself confess it, and
hopes to learn from experience. All men
