From the Cincinnati Observation-Disclosures
The NEW YORK HERALD brings US the news that
Mr.. Tom Murphy-yes, we remember Tom-has
come TO the conclusion that Grants silence about
the third term business '4s the highest wisdom,
because peace and harmony are thus maintained
among all the republican leaders aspiring to the
succession and throughout the republican party"
This ts rather an enigmatlc or ambiguous utter
ance for Tom. 1t looks as though Tom himself had
at least one eye on the third term. We have
labored to md other meanings In It, or rather
we have labOred to get az its true meaning, but
we can draw only one deduction from it-"Grant'5

tired at the end OF their second term because that

Madison and Jackson. The latter, who was not
certainly the most disnterested IN the list mighs

had 80 determined, for he led a dominant party as
no man does IN these days. Is Grant less unsensh
than Jackson less regardful of the settled proprle

whom, he was elevated to powerf We have no
reason TO believe anything OF the kind We know
