VIEWS or SENATOR'S.


Senator Newton Booth, Of California. said at the
sturtevant House yesterday that he did not think
the popular feeling in his State in favor Of the
nomination Of General Grant although the ex-
President would undoubtedly enjoy strong sup-
port if nominated and would carry the State. The
people were opposed to third term except under
ceptional circumstance and Grants personal friends
did not believe third candidacy would be desirable
for him. The Senator thought Blaine would be Cali
fornias choice among the republicans and Grant
probably second choice. "A .4 S..ss.l
Senator Beck, OF Kentucky. who is in the city said
that his State did not who was the democratic
nominee for the Neutrality-suspicious. Hendricks.

Senator A.. s. Paddock, of Nebraska, said at the
Windsor Hotel that General Grant stood tho best
chance for the republican nomination for the Pres-
dency. and he thought he would still make one Of

astic presentations OF tho Of Blaine. sherman
and washburne; and IL the Convention cannot
agree upon any candidate in the earlier baiotings
other names will come up around which votes can
gather. u
Sirlt-These republicans add that. while. Of
course the adherents of various candidates hope for
success. and will make struggle against the
Grant movement. the main strength. the moral
force of the opposition to General Grants third
term nomination comes and will come from pro-
found and growing belief that he would be the
weakest OF all the candidates; that to nominate
him would imperil the party; that 1t would cause
great OBJECTIONS and losses in States which are now
republican by only small majorities. and that
those who thus believe will be found ready to cast
their votes for that candidate Of the others named
who shall show the greatest strength in tho conven-
ton. They add significantly that the galleries will
not be allowed to usurp the functions OF the Con-
vcntion. y - a.
GENERAL GRANTS DESIRES.
SerenA-Finally. it is now universally taken for
granted among republicans here that General Grant
desires third term, and has set his heart upon
denomination. Personal friends Of his say privately
that for some time he was not inclined to take the
risks of defeat but that his family have persstenty
urged him to be candidate. and that he has now
determined upon it. The same persons hint that
whatever OBJECTIONS may take place in the North
will be moro than made up in the

organized and such promises held out aud engage

more likely to favor the South. to take part in
the election and thus discourage their party 1t is
limited that coalition Of the extreme stalwarts In
the North with the extreme Bourbons in the South
would be successful and that the denomination OF
Grant being accomplished party machinery in the
North be depended to carry the party with 1t.
