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."
