favor OF the reelection of President Grant for
third term. The number Of letters and ex-

conclusion that there was some imminent nee
essity for the Senator's position to be thorough
ly understood.
When we consider the long lapse yet before
the selection of candidate for the next Presi-
dency, we think it matters but little whether
this or the other prominent politician is for or
