THE THIRD TERM.

Merely as one Of the noticeable points in
current newspaper discussions, we observe
that the Third Term talk becomes more Sc
rious and general Shortly after the cleo
ton Washington organ nominated Gen.
Grant for a third term. but his party jour
mails generally ignored, or rebuked the sug-
gestion. More recently it has been said
that this sort of talk came only from enc
mics of the administrator. But now we
have Simon Cameron, the chief of the
Pennsylvania addition, division and silence
ring Thomas Murphy, the head of the
New York Custom house ring and Mosby,
of Virginia, out for Grant for the third
term; and expressions like the following.
(which We take from the Elizabeth NOM
tor,) are frequent enough to attract little
notice:
Ulysses S Grant will he reDominated FOR a third
term and his triumphant election Will very naru.
rally follow. Gen. Grant will be President of thi.
country Just long he continues TO do right by
all classes and conditions. The people have The
disposition of this great office, and the politicians
if they attempt thwart he honest masses will be
set aside and made 10 take back seats.
Frank Blair said that if Grant once got
possession of the government he would
never give it up without a fight
