GOOD SENSE.
New York, May 27.-The Herald
has an editorial on the proposed ex-
cursion to San Francisco to welcome
General Grant. 1t doesn't believe
that General Gront is a consenting
party to this extraordinary demon
stration, end fears it will be a great
annoyancean and embarrassment to him
on his arrival. He will see at once it
is only an electioneeriDg maneuver'
and, consequently, participated in on
ly by Republicans. Grant will have
reason to complain when he finds
that the projected ovation has been so
planned as to exclude the majority of
the people in every place through
which be is to pass from and partici-
patton in It. The whole thing is an
egregious and discourteous blunder,
which will defeat the purpose of its
perpetrators by disgusting all that
part of the Republican party who
think it premature to select in 1879
ticket for the election of 1880.
