Saturday last. An immense reception was
rendered him in San Francisco the place of
his landing. Much enthusiasm was displayed,
and everything betokcned the entire conf.
dence of all parties in U. $. Grant Ms man of
sterling common sense of great services to tho
country in the past and Of fine executive
ability.
Grant in history is growing reality. He
mas always been practical, forceiul man.

administration, yet we are not oil those VINO
think third term would DO dangerous in any
sense nor yet OF those who consider that Grant
will stand greater in history without it. We
believe that II he were given third term he
would devote all his great energies to empha-
sizing the fact that this is Nation, and to
that course OF administration which would be
Mt once pure, wise and glorious. we think he
his life, and his increased wisdom would en-
able him to succeed.
