In case Bourbon Democracy should stimu-
late the TeUe elements requiring only the election Of
Democratic President to annul the reconstruction
1t would indeed be important to elect an
abe and efficient Republican President But unless 1t
can be shown that idea OF third term Is popular
with the people, and that Grant could be elected while
no other Republican could be elected or
that Grant could enforce reconstruction under the con-
sTtutlopal amendments, while another President could
mot we cannot see why IL would become necessary 10
