Ex-President Grant is on visit to
Europe with his family, and has been
received with great pomp and magnif-
cence by various cities in England. The
Government of Great Britain receives
him as an ex.Sovereign, andno doubt the
General thinks himself an honor to his
nation. We believe he expects to be our
next President, and thereby secure third
term after all.
