WATERS W. BRAMAN. XNllth Dlstrct-l am first
for Grant, but always for tine nominee of the con-

have Grant. People do think that Ohio
should not have two candidates in succession

term for President and indeed TIE feeling against
it is much less than is supposed by most persons
unacquainted with currents OF political opinion.

meditaing deeply about the proposal to renominate
Grant find there is less objection to a third term

within the circle of my own acquaintance who are
earnestly opposed to a third term.
