These coushterations one) Rhould determine our choive of A candidate, Astothe personal fitness of Gen. Grant for tho office, let us speak plainty, ns {8 our duty, though with the kindness due to one who haa rendered on tho fleld such valuable services to his country. It must be sadly _ndmitted, my denr Simon, that asa President Gen, Grant brought no honor to binself, his purty, or bis country. Entoriig upon his Administrution with an averwhelmlig mufority at hia back, be left. the legisintive de- sirtment of the Government comptetely in the hands vf our opponents, and the nnea great Re- publican party at the ‘very vergo of culn, A , eons{deraule portion of ita better elenrents had crumbled away from it, unwillingly, and even sorrowfully, but front a firm conviction that the Government at Washington had becoine utterly unworthy of support. Towards its close its morale had probably become the lowest that had ever oxisted in the White-House. Great as were his military achlovements, Gen. Grant noyer hud any ndequate conception of the duttes, the revpousibilitles, and the dignity of the grout eivil oillcs in which he bad been pineed. He held it as on bauble, tossed to bin by the people ns a reward for his services In the field, to be used for the personnal delectas tlonof himsctf and of his friends, from whom he had been the reciplent of cithor gifts or tiat- tery. From the first act of bis Administration, when hoe astunished tho country by naning w Cabinet most of whose members wero unknown heyond thelr own vicinege, and the reason of wilose appointment was a murvel to the country, down to hls latest offletal ucts in connection with tho St. Lonis trials of several of his personal friends for frauds upon tho revanue, hls Prest dential career showed a melancholy inablilty to rise nbove personal considerations to the lofty dignity of his position, His Administration, in Bhort, made conspicuous n principle, the very worst that can debase 2 Government—namelys tho prineipte of favoritism. To what extremity this carried bim, tet the sceret history of tho attempted San Domingo annexation show, If what I have anid is aubatusitinile true, we shonld not, as honest citizens, seck to plice Gen, Grant again {1 the Peeeidential chalr, Tam aware, my dear Simon, you may Pumatbly eny, ng has been sald by othors who readily ad mit the errors of bis former Administrution, that Gen, Grant's recent experione trivel will enable hin to avold a repetition of those mistnkes. Bul Is it not folly to suppose: that, if elaht years of Presidential life showed no marked “improvement in the esseutinl ‘character of his Administration, be bus learnt ‘in new and Just rppreciation of the requirements of tho Presidential office by two years’ wanders ing roun! the world, the guest of foreten courts, dining with tho Prince of Wales, aud ‘hobnobbing with Prhice Bismarek? The pe- cullarities of Gen, Grant which untltted hin for purely civil administration came largely from inliltory traluing and the tnbits of infilary fe. Greut commanders muy be, It ts true, able civil administrators. ‘Chere have been repentec stunces of this in history, but this has been in countries where the elytt ndiministration fins tween such na position and that of Presid of tho United States, He should merely intnister the lw, and the Government. should be, ns far ar possible, an impersonal Govern- ment. Sofar ne the public ts informed, the na- roelations of Gen, Grint abroud were such 1s would tend rather to strengthen than correct thoso qualities which brought to bls clvit ud- ministration tho unfortunate Intluences of tho camp. But nerenter objection ta the reviection of Gen, Grant than bls fnuptitude for merely civil administration les in tho tuot that lt woultl be a revlection for a third term, Not among tho stecet of the grounds upon which rests the debt of gratitude we awe to Washington and Jeifere san {is tho example thoy set of declining a thirdetection. Tho precedent thus established hus been go universally recognized 13 ono of Vitil finportance that, tintil some of the porson- wi frlends of Gen. Graut suggested his revlec- tlon four yenrs ago, nu man ever thought of dis- rogurding thls unwritten Inw of tho Hepubile. It ls sought to pullinte thls disregard, in the present Instance, un the ground thit there bus won at intervening tery. But docs not this strike you, my good Simon, 93 a distinction withonta difference? If once this innovation is. made, and tho prineiple broken down to the ox- tent now proposed, will it not be a very fuclle thlng hereafter for an ambitious President to rerch a third terin without an interregnum? It isthe first step that custe, says tho French proverb, If Gen. Grant shalt bo now nomi- onted and elected, a second olection will be in conformity with preeedent, and the ambition ~which now embolitens him to aspico to a third term with the nid of an interregnum, would have: no diiticulty in pushlog him, at the oud of olnht years, to scek a third term withent its atd. Do Feu sippose, my dear Simon, i€Gen, Grant ern eleuted to u third term while out of ofllce, ho cannot bo reMected in 1888, with all the oflicers and power of tho Government athis control, and nsed by mon like Caincron and Conkling? Tho situation would be strikingly like that of Louis Napoleon when, as. President, ‘he overturned tha — French Constitution with tho ald of Do Morny and Walewski, who were to him what Camoron and Conkling would betgGrant. Before the first election of Gen. Grant, Frank Blair predicted if auch election should take place the Prestdent would never re- tire from the Whito House alive, The prophecy bas proven fulse, but thore aro many. saber- minded men who think if he goes back thore ho: will regard himself, like Louts Narolonn, poy “mon of destiny,” und thit his destiny is to be Prvatitent for life of the United States, Lentd at the beginning that it is the duty of our party in selecting o candidate to regard, Brat, bis qualifications, and, secondly, whut we n hid availability.
