GRANTaAND TIiE'J)iGNI7'Y or
HIS OEEICE

Hlc OffItE.
In hk letter making u hid for u
third term, Grant says that 1t "was be.
meath the dignity of bis office" TO tell
the people whether or not hc intended
to use the vast patronage at his com
mand to perpetuate his power. How
has no borne himself hitherto, that the
dignity Of his office should suddenly
appear 30 great in his eyes On what
particular occasion did he take pains
to show the country that he respected
tho proprietlcs which ought to hedge
in his exalted station?
Was il when he visited New York
for the first time aftcr his Inauguration,
and sauntered into theatre arm in
arm with Jim Fisk
Was il on the eve of Black Friday,
when no took himself of to u little
town in Pennsylvania remote from tel
cgraphic and railroad communication,
after leaving directions with Boutwell,
not TO sell any gold till hc got back?
