GRANTS LUCK.

why Mrs. Grant kelosces Over Her Hus-
bands Defeat the 1850 Convention
The Gene ais Candidacy This Year Denied
He Is Committed TO Logan, and Never
Goes Back on His Word.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April Il
General Grant left here for New York
yesterday. General Grant did not return
President Arthur's call He made it q
rule while here to pay no call and accept
no invitations. This has given him the
opportunity of avoiding Arthur and Blaine
without having its being taken as an
affront. Grant and Blaine have not spoken
since the Spring of 1850, and the only
reason IS the fight Blaine made upon
Grant in the Chicago Convention. If
it had not been for Blaine's vigor-
Gus fighting, Grant would have been nom
mated. Senator Miller, OF California, re-
ports good remark from Mrs. Grant
upon this subject: 81 am so glad my hus-
band was not nominated in 1880 at Chi
cago," said she. "Why?" asked Senator
Miller. "Oh," she replied, eli he had
been nominated and elected, he might
have been assasSinated by some crank
like the one who killed poor General Gar
field. 1t is disreputable to be put out of
life by crank. To die for sweet revenge
is one thing, but TO be snuffed out by q
worthless crank is positively ignoble."
General Grant will not be a candidate
again, Notwithstanding the prediction of
some of the political astronomers of the
time. General Grant has fully committed
himself to Logan, and he is not in the
habit of going back on his word.

Government passed prohibition liquor act
fifteen years ago, making it optional for
adoption by any county in Canada. 1t has
