споменах за това, как 1878 сме смятали за възможност да изберем Американския президент Грант за Български цар. Ето тук още две приумици за Американски кандидатури.

George Maxwell Robeson (March 16, 1829September 27, 1897) was an American Republican Party politician and lawyer from New Jersey who served as a Union army general during the American Civil War, and then as Secretary of the Navy during the Grant administration. Robeson was a nephew of George C. Maxwell, who represented New Jersey in Congress.[1]

Robeson was born in Oxford Furnace, New Jersey. He studied law and became public prosecutor for Camden County.

During the Civil War, he was appointed a brigadier general by the Governor of New Jersey, and also served as the Attorney General of New Jersey from 1867-1869.

Robeson was appointed Secretary of Navy by President Ulysses S. Grant, replacing Adolph E. Borie who served only a few months. He held the position until the end of Grant"s second term, serving from June 26, 1869 until March 4, 1877.

After leaving the Navy Department Robeson returned to his law practice in Camden County. From March 4, 1879-March 3, 1883, he served as U.S. Congressman from New Jersey, representing New Jersey"s 1st congressional district, then again returned to his practice and worked there until his death at age 68 in 1897. Robeson is buried at Belvidere Cemetery in Belvidere, New Jersey.

Januarius MacGahan (1844-1878) was an American journalist and war correspondent working for the New York Herald and the London Daily News. His articles describing the massacre of Bulgarian civilians by Turkish soldiers in 1876 created public outrage in Europe, and were a major factor in preventing Britain from supporting Turkey in the Russian-Turkish War of 1877-78, which led to Bulgaria gaining independence from the Ottoman Empire.[1]
