Comments on President Grants Letter.
Although somewhat Drlphic in its
phraseologv, this letter will probably be
regarded us finally withdrawing Gen
Grants name from the list of candidates
for the next presidency. He does indeed
take pains to Indicate that there miqM be
circumstances under which he would ac-
cept Il nomination, if rendered, but these
he thinks. are not likely to arrive H.
says, IL am not, nor have | been u can
iidate for denomination" All. if he had
only said as much us this some time ago
what suffering might have been saved to
| the Republican party.-NcO York IribuNc.

We shall be surprised if the country &C
cepts this AS satisfactory declaration from
the President. 1t is an cv;l>ive letter. 1t
would be much better for his fame, and
even for the welfare of the party which he
proposes to serve, if he had not written it.
In 4 word. the country is told that the
President will not take what is not offered
to him. That is not what we wanted from
the President * As it j. C;r>;lr-
ism IS. us 4 political issue, more potent
lhah ever 1t becomes the dominant
question in the next canvass. Oar answer
! should be the lin tatiun Of the presidency
to one term. and no reelection ever after
-NcW York UcralN. (.1ntt-Cnsu).
No body can fail to read in the letter
has at last drawn ont from Mr.. Grant the
extreme reluctance with which he makes
even Il prctcnsion of rcsgning his chance
for Il rejection. 1t is true that that chance
has grown very slender since last autumn,
and it appears that even the President
! who is by n" means quick either to feel or
! follow the drift Of public opinion, has 1t
last been made to sec it, and to make 4
pretence of following it. The one chance
he has depends upon the public belief thai
he has not solicited or intrigued for !;
nomination His letter. which purrort>
to be resignation of his prrtensiUn>, i
not in fact 1orii. (D,m.)

We do not look to see it received rs sat
if cory to Gen. Grants enemies, wheth-
cr Democrats or Independents. or that it
will be accepted by AL of his carping
critics who still claim to fratcrniZc with
the Republican purity. But the mass OF
the people. who have never ftlterel in
