TUP nUJIJUST PLANK MOVEMENT ON
* -7 |
Nothing like combining business
and pleasure. To the unknowing
masses Grant’s European jaunt seems
hut a pleasure trip ; but in reality it is
the biggest ilunk movement known to
history : a flank which sweeps across
the broad ocean; swings around through
the old world, and to complete which,
years are required. Its objective point
is the Presidency in 1SSO.
We learn from the Washington tele
gram to the Baltimore -SW that one of
the most intimate friends of General
Grant says that his European tour and
the honors showelwl^upoh him will be
'but tlm prSude to grealet honors to
await him on h Late turn to the United
States. He says thht if General Grant
remain&abroad, as he probably will,
for two years, on his return the Ameri
can people Will have b«comsso enthu
siastic over him ’that tlien.vill receiye
such ah ovation as was never known,
tfnd that he^will inevitaTh'-b'e noimna-
ted and elected President in 1S80. He
says that every speech made hy Gen
eral Grant, in Englaiffl. lie. shows that
he is looking aheaiLto 1889, and. he in
stances particularly the speech made by
General Grant & th* rBoivI.Qn wosSirjg;
men. This-speech die says while ail-
dresed to the.'ears of English working
men, was intended to meet.the eyes iof
the workingmen of America, and to be
treasured up in their hearts. ’ In con-

stated, but the history of that check is
now for the first time made public. At
