and Is early TO forecast tho conditions which
may determine, on the one hand, the choice Of tho
republican parity or the other the canddacy OF the
Genera but there Is no doubt that strength with
the peoplc-hls personal popularity and their respect
for his talents and tor MS character--was never
greater than now. From tho day when he retired
from the Presidency tho close Of his second term
aud passed out OF the storm Of SANDER whicE had
beat upon steadily for SIX years, his countrymen
have rapidly learned " givo due creat TO tho same
sturdy characteristics IN the President which made
him successful general II Is true also tnat the
