The leading Republican papers. generally,
have nothing or very little to say about the
third term" movement-but their silence is
expressive-not of dissatisfaction certainly
"C@sarism' will start with full support, !"
when the time comes. The arguments init
mated, and half accepted, in favor of the third
term" are precisely those employed and adopt
ed when the French Republic was changed in
to an Empire, and Napoleon became Emperor.

Too Strong dose -Sickened Republicans.

Too Strong dose-Sickened Republicans.
1t seems that the nomination of Hughes has
the effect of temporarily exiting number of the
most prominent white Republicans the State
Hon. j. B. Sener, Congressman from the first
district, has already gone to California, and u.
s. Senator Jno. +. Lewis and Hon. j. Amber
Smith will also leave in short time for the
same destination.
The nomination of Hughes is dose rather
too nauseous, and has sickening effect upon
many white Republicans. Some may swallow
it. but, like the fellow who ate crow, they do
not banker after it.
We understand that prominent Republican,
who lives in Richmond, says that the better
class of Republicans in that city will refuse to
support the Hughes ticket, for the reason that
property-holders cannot afford to allow the State
Government to pass into such hands. They
are Republicans, but fear to trust the Govern
ment to that party in this State, comprised as
nine-tenths of it is of negroes, and considera-
bic proportion Of other tenth of carpet-baggers
and Don-property- holders. IF such party
should obtain possession of the State Govern
ment with majority in the Legislature, these
men are wise enough to see that their individual
interests as well as those of the State would be
sacrificed.
