hazardous, not but what he would be
elected if nominated, but human beings
are not free from accidents and mis-
takes, and while General Grant might
have no fears OF either of these results
during a third term, it is doubtful
whether he desires further presidential
experience.
Besides this, the nomination of Gen.
Grant-much as we respect him and ap-
preciate his ability and great public
service-for a third presidential term,
would be a virtual acknowledgement
that the race Of great men in our goy-
ernment-men ofgreat executive ability
had become almost extinct, or at least
that we haYe become sopOverty stricken
in this respect that we are compelled to
violate precedent that from its long
continuance had almost become regard
ed as law.
In the above remarks we have stated
some of our objections to the nomina-
tion of General Grant for third presi-
Dental term. Circumstances might oc-
cur, and conflicts might arise in the
political elements under our govern
ment that could best be controlled by a
national executive possessing the pecu-
liar characteristics of General Grant,
and in that improbable condition of our
government affairs, it would be the best
policy to avail ourselves Of the best ma
terials we might possess for that condi-
tion of affair; but at present no such |
necessity exists, and besides, we are not |
destitute of men in our country who's are |
abundantly able to discharge the duties
Of president, perhaps in every emer-
genoy, as well as General Grant; men
who have served their country with dis
ability in their positions,
unsurpassed by anyof their prede-
cessors.
No man in this country, it is true, has
receiYed such great attention as has
been shown General Grant, not only in
his own Republic, but in foreign realms.
The people have focked by thousands
TO see and pay their respects to the
great military hero and American
statesman. We have, however, watched
5hese enthusiastic booms with much
and as we have long since
earned that "all that glitters is not
gold," we have been led to regard
;hese immense boom8 and this great ex-
element and apparent love for Grant,
ust now, with some grains Of suspicion.
It may be emotions of honest hearts,
md wish to do homage to a de-
erving patriot and statesman, and
may be stimulated by those who have
PERSONAL ends to Osubserve. At allevents
t would be we'll for the people not to

A sEvAToR-ELECT, according to the
Cleveland Herald, thinks the leglsla-
ture ought to reorganize the Soldiers
Home at Dayton. Perhaps he means
the Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home
atXenla, as the Legislature has nothing
to do with the Soldiers Home at Day
ton, that being United States institu-
tlOn, and not under the control of Ohio
authorities.

Should General Grant be NOm-
mated for a Third Term?

lu9Ueu Tor q Third TermS
II the question were asked of us, who
would be our first choice for the noml-
nation by the Republican National Con-
ventlon, the answer would be "not
General Grant" Not that he is not
loyal to the principles of the Republl-
can party not that he would notsmake
q good president for the whole people;
not that he is not deserving Of the high
est confidence and esteem Of the Ameri-
can people, but because we look upon
it as bad policy to violate a precedent
that has hitherto been regarded by the
people Of this government as almost sa-
cred, ever since the termination Of the
second official term Of General Wash
ington.
A third term ia the presidential chair
Of this government COuld not add any
thing more to the great fame, the honor,
or the respect for General Grant, on the
part Of the people than he already pos
sesses and truly merits. He has reached
the highest pinnacle Of public fame; he
has nothing further to gain in that re-
speet, and afarther venture might be
