GENERAL GRANT'N POSITION DIS
% oTINCTLY DEFINED.

Two propositions Gen. Grants message
ybs,tleAHof all d6pbtl Qneis that he
is candidate for re election to the Office
of President, and the other is that he
desir' to run,lnot merely'as a Republi-
can, but as an Anti Catholic. His utter
ances upon "priestcrattp to which we
have referred; his argument about
the common schools; his recommends
ton to tax church property; these are
not all the evidences on the points to
which we refer, When he comes to
sum IL at the close of his message, and
to recapitulate the questions which, as he
says, he deems of vital Importance, he
assigns as a reason for the recapitulation,
that this is-"will be-" he puts 1.-THE
last annual message he will transmit to
Congress before Me election Of his successor.
His language is: .o...f
"Asthi4 will he the last annual message
whhh [ shall have the honor of trans
hitting to Congress before my successor
is chosen, | viii repeat or recapitulate
the questions which ! deem Of vital i'm
portance which should be legisla ed upon
and settled ut this session." eI ..'7
\ Now. WHY'S the fact that thisis his last
annual message before the choice of his
successor reason for repeating and en-
phasizing his Anti-Catholicism, except
that he wishes that To- be the issue on
which his successor shall be chosen ?
And could he more plainly offer himself
to the voters of the country as "a candi-
date to be his own sucteksorP N

fore the country to-day as candidate
for third term of the Office of President
Of the United States, and as the Anti

Payne to Washington TO take his seat in
the National House Of Representatives,
he was visited by a number of political
and personal friends, and called upon
him for a speech. The Plaindealer gives
synopsis of his remarks from which we
make the following extract
Mr.. Payne referred to the fact that
when his name is called and entered up
on the records of the House, it will be
that Of the first Democrat ever elected
from this 1.-THE Cleveland) district, his
predecessors having always been Wings
or Republicans. Mr., Payne said that
much was expected from the next House
Of Representatives-ltoo much, perhaps
from it, from the fact that there will be
much jnexperience amongst The mem
bers, but OF one thing the people must
rest assured that there would be a
thorough scrutiny into the past manage
ment Of the different departments OF The
government, and that It would be the
aim. Of the Democrats to bring about ad-
ministratiye reform, and reduction in
the enormous amount Of expenditures so
beneficial, to the great army of Republi.
can office,holders. % Democrats hould
remember that the President was
against them and that the Senate was
still in the hands Of the friends Of the ad-
minisration, and that their object would
be to widen he breach that unfortunate
ly seemingly existedbetween Democrats,
but he trusted to the practical good sense
of the Democratic members Of Congress.
and believed that such concessions Of
opinion would be made one to another,
as would bring about that unity OF action
and harmony so desirable now to bring
back the country to firm foundation OF
honesty and jnstice in public affairs.
On the question of finance Mr.. Payne
said that there were differences. He
was not in favor of initiation, nor ofun-
due contraction. He was not an ex-
treme man in his views upon this sub
ject, but he believed his fellow citizens Of
the Democratic party, large majority,of
the business men Of the city. would
agree with him on the necessity ofthe re-
peal of the law now as the Sherman
bill" providing for the resumption Of
specie payments in 1879 Referring
briefly to the irpractcability Of that
measure he noted that he believed Dem
ocratic craftsmanship wonld yet light the
way to an eventual return to the con-
stitutional currency Of the country with
