Grants Southern Boom.


49, 49,
garding the Southern boom for Grant.
The Tribune ridicules 1t, saying: A large
number Of Southern Democrats are quoted
as favoring Grants candidacy for a third
term, but nearly all OF them reques to
have their names withheld. Those who
allow their names to be given are undoubs-
eddy most estimable persons in their re-
spective localities. but the American pub
lie has the rare pleasure Of resting its eye
upon their name for the first time.
The Sun has q long article on q counter
scheme by the Republicans to get rid Of
Grant by giving him the Presidency Of the
Inter-Oceanic Canal Company. This was
originally engineered By Admiral Ammen.
The article closes thus: There is great in
triguing going on TO take Grant out Of poll
tics. The third-termers fear Grant may be
caught in what they Indignantly term
Ammen's iy-trap, and they warned him
that the men who are engineering the Job
have always been his enemies, though Am
men Is unconscionsly their tool. The Her
aids Washington correspondent has inter
viewed Congressman Frye on Grants can
didacy. Frye does not think Grant will be
q candidate for President, unless at tile
coming session Of Congress the question OF
doubt a. to the mode Of counting the ell c.
toral votes should be made prominent. In
that event he believes the people will de-
mand the nomination Of Grant, because
they think he viii asssrt and obtain his
seat il the election Is disputed. Otherwise,
he thinks Blaine or Sherman will be the
leading candidates before the convention.
