GREAT UJESAR GRANT. WHAT FATHER TAFT THINXS OF A TWICD TERM. ievealing the Hopes of the itohon Cabinet--An Attempt to Pave the Way for a New Lease of Power--The ex-Attorney General is Willing. (1'onm the New York Herald.] I met Judge Taft in the aftor noon, just as the mercury in the thermometer began to go down from ninoty--four to the more re spectable eighties, and had a brief interview with him on politics in general and the Presidential pros, poets in particular. Taft is a Grant man. le goes as far as Sherman, if not farther, in asserting that if the Republican National Convention were to be hold now the famous Ulysses would be called home from his wanderings and invited to enter the political arena for a third term of Presidency. The fQllowing was the conversation: "Do you believe, Judge, that Grant will get the Republican nomination for a third term of tho Presidency ?" "It looks that way now," was the reply. "Of course it is rather early to open the question, as two more years must elapse before the con vention meets, but at prosent he is the nt to whom a large portion of tho party are looking, for inl hii they see those qualities so essential in an executivo in trying times courage, a strong personality and positive conviction, as well ai ia wide ran go of experienc0." "Would he accept. ?" "Well, I don't believo ho is seek. ing the ollico. I don't think he wants it. It would be a fearful risk for him to enter again the arena of politics. He has hatd his full ieas." re of honors, but if could bo made to sue that it was for the best in terests of the country, or the prty, or both, ho might possibly accepta nomination if tendered with a strong Concurronco of the party leaders. General Grant's record is a groat on and peculiar. The service ho has rendered the country in the field and in t ho Cabinet will gain for him the respect and sie tion of the people. The manifesta tions of friendship and adtmiratio'i bestowed on him abroad have increased his popularity at home, while his travels naturally tonl to ripen his experience and broaden the scope of his judigm1ont." "Would lie be olocted ?" "He woultd be a hard man to beat. The imisses of the people have a great (10al of conid(enScC inl his flirness and in his intogrity of charactor. I think GrI ant is as hih-inedandl1 a oest ai manii in his purposesasvrhedocei this country. A4nd besides this, he is no lhypocr'ite ; lie never mlakces any pretensions. What lie is lie is to everybody." "Hlow does lie stand in the West?" "In thle West lhe has the strone est following. I have not talked much p)olitics of late and can give only what my imupressions are fr'om casual conivers'ation and the tone of the press. So far as these go I 1: should not hesilato to say that Grant stands first in the con'fidence of the masses of the party. I think this is so in Ohio." 'uE PROPRIETY oF IT. "Now, in regard to the p)ropriety of putting up General Grant f'or a "Ofcoure, sai Judge Tart, "testep would be an unusual, an unprecedente on.Odnrly I should not favor the establishment of such a procedent. There is nothing, howecver, in the constitu tion to prevent it. General Grant is nowv a private citizon and as such duly eligible to the oflice of IProsi dent. It may be that lie will be * invited to stand for President. But no oine can tell what may hap - pon in the next two year's." "Do you believe that there is any foundation for Lhe expressed aip, prehension that General Grant, if a defeated candidate, would seize the government and establish himself as dictator ?" "Net the slightest. Genoral Grant would never climb into power by any such methods, and hie has no disp)osition to assume powers that do not belong to him. TIhmat is not his character. Hle hats too much at stake. He has madoc a splendid record, and lhe would never, in mny judgment, destroy tat by handing his name down to history as the man wvho overturnedi the Republic, I haehad abundant opportunities to study his charac-. ter, arid I do not heetate to assert that he would accept th~e verdiet of the pepple as expresod at the polls. Jo would not do sudh a thing for Ie own Bake nor for the purpose of advancing the interests of any I party." "But it is charged that he used the troops in the doubtful Southern States to carry out party ends when he honestly believed thaut lijs action in that instance was unconstitution" al." "General Grant never believed that he transcended constitutional limits in keeping troops in tho Southern States." "Do you believe, then, that it would be for the interests of the country and the Republican party that Grant should got a third term '" "Woll, four years more of him would be better than four years of' "Of Hayes." soggested the inter viewer, to fill up a pause "Of a Democratic administration," said 1Ir. Taft, with a smile. "Supposing the convcntion were to be held now, would Grant get the nomination ?" "I am inclined to the belief that be would. Certainly the temper of the people is just worked up to that point, so far as my Qbservatioil and information go."
