McCullagh, in our opinion, is not far
out Of his reckoning as political prog
nosticator. Grant is the most prominent
Republican candidate, but Washbunc is
the coming man Of large dimensions
standing behind him. WCtrus. that ho will
gradually move TO the front, and quite
eclipse tho ENABLED warrior" who now
stands in tho foreground. 1t is not the
sober and intelligent sentiment Of the Re.
publican party that is demanding the nom
ination Of General Grant, and it Is on
this sentiment that we rely to connteract
the proposed outburst on his return to
this country. The rejecting people Of the
UnitedStates will feel Themselves impelled
by great necessity when they break
through the tradition that surrounds the
executive chair with two terms-and two
terms only and set a precedent that in
the uncertain future may prove to be the
opening Of a Pandora's box.
