that Grant had 10y no means abandoned the hope
Of reconciliation, but was confident that ali
the delegates In the Rspuhlican National Com
vcn'ion from the Southern states would be alb
sclutely at his disposal, and that he could pos
sibly find among the delegates from the Nor a
sufficient number Of votes to make n majority

comCland over his following from the South was
So absolute That he could at least dictate the
nomination VI his successor. Whether we can civa

that he can get votes enough from the North to
carry through his own nomination; hut tho
