his country In the capacity Of Congress.
man for ten years, and he does not care
for further honors. In speaking about
the reported candidacy Of ex.President
Grant for q third term, General Butler
said he did not believe Grant desired 70
run again. II consulted. he (Butler)
would certainly advise him not TO do 90.
General Grant had reached the highest
elevation which IN American citizen
could possibly attain. and while an
election for Q third term would not mate
rally add TO his lAurels, . defeat
would inevitably detract from his fame.
General Butler favors the bcstowAl OF
some substantial token OF the high appre-
citation Of the American people for Gen.
eral Grants distinguished services, mill.
tary and civil. and he would advocate the
passage OF an act Of Congress creating
Grant field marshal for life, with . salary
Of S25. 900 year. Some recognition OF
this Kind Ben Butler thinks would be .
fitting climax to Grants ilustrious
career.
