Maj. :oen. Crittcndsn, formerly. Of Indiana,
Ia one Of tho !ntimate friends Of Grant, and d
cautious mum, lilo ass,1res mo that tho preal-
don't not only has no ltoa Of tho Sort but q
roHoluto determination to retro altogothor at
the ond Of tiis torn,
so1utor JonoB Anit, 40 woll "araut has no
itleh Of running for third torn. liz uoon,n @ to to
mo- on oloao examination, to caro- moro for tho
approval Of tho pooplo for what ho Inns douo
than to desire q prolongntion Of Ills period Of
Office, Ho IL very sensitive as to good opinion,
aud ftnmeasurnbty gurprHod and delighted with
tho plaulits which hnvo followed lH Yato,"
political observer, said:
"aSn. Grant win Eot no 9 Third third torn out Of tho
but orr purity vii not 90 into : ean,paign viii
my such innovation against traditional usages.
There Is nothing In It."
Col. Board. OF Richmond, Va, close and
prociae Republican, Hntd:
"Ti,e Republican pnrty has neither tho lnton-
tion nor the alternative Of nominating Grant I
hnyn talked oyor tho subject through Congress
md tho country. We will probably le benton
with any man wo tako mp, and that increasea tho
President is not tlooply daliaod by tho people,
but tho Republican politicians nover liked him.
lIe has not ovon faction OF any mou1eut for
eonvention-uscu. It Ia my opinion that some
wholly different md wholly new man will
should rat,or bot on Eiihu WaAhburne, as lle
has boon pulling tho strings for solno time with
tho Grangors, tho 0ermans, and tho Press. Tho
Democrats might nominate Grant in preference
to q straight like Hendricks, but llo could not
| afford to bo 10 desperately an1ioua for three
forms aa to roverao hiH cnraor like that. They
might take him up, II they could, to get tho
patronage and insure victory but they could
not eontrol lin In tho odeos, any moro than tho
ALL the indications ut the White House aro Of
| 1oaye-taking. Tho President has bought
property in Warrington to build n residence. IIo
has promised his iamily a trip to Europe on tho
| expiration OF lis term. Ho has mover responded
| with moro than ephinxino countonanco to tho
many wiehful compliments designed to bring
| from him ali expression Of opinion. Nor has 10
my personal objects, othor tlsan tue Ralary, to
bo derived from tho Presidency, His worldly
affairs nro in good condition. Ho does not dcrive
tho pioasuro in office, With his rncnnB aud 1ong
military and civil restraint, which lo could ret
in retirement. He Is MI American, besides, and
has no aspiration to roverso the prccedontB ho
took in hs laat inaugural, tlat he believed Ro-
| publican Government would uproot arery other
kind.
II anything could put In such man's load tho
iloa Of usurpatiou, i would bo the style Of prog
nostication adopted by bis opponents. They
assunlo that he haa both tho opportunity and
| tho wish to destroy tho liberties Of his country.
ain suro that ho has not tho first, md do not
| holiovo ho has tho second. He iB bound to the
