the Cnsarisln subject. Mr. Cau1tie1d entirely
colncldod with the views Of tho Herald He
thought that tho continuance OF Grant in rowor
would bo tantamount to subversion Of our
democratic institutions. Tho precedent would bo
understandable. and he had no doubt that Grant |
was entirely willing to make precedent. He
WAS surrounded by u sot Of unacrupulous mon,
who would not hesitate at anything TO rotain
themselves in powor.
