Gen. Grant to the Presidency for a
third term has assumed some i'm
portance and is exciting the politi-
clans of all parties. Some of the
prominent Democrats Of the South
have given quasi approval to the
movement, but it was only as an al
tentative, supposing a choice between
two evils necessary. They said they
believed Gen. Grant was inclined to
protect the whites OF the South
against the proscriptive policy of the
Radical party, and that being the
ease, if they were called on 10 choose
between him and n bitter, proscrip
tive, ultra Radical, they would
choose Grant for third, fourth or
tenth term; that any alternative
was better than the evils threatened
! by ultra radIcallsm.
The New York Herald, which is
the best newspaper authority IN the
I United States, condemns Gen. Grant
for not denying that he is candidate
for a third term. 1t says that his
| friends are offended by his reticence;
that Morton and Kelly, Morrill, and
Edmunds, Secretary Robinson, Gov
ernor Dix and many of Grants warm
est friends are opposed TO third
term, and it appeals TO him, to save
the republican party by disavowing
an intention 10 be candidate for re-
election. The Herald concludes q
long article on the subject, with these
expressive utternances:
The question IS now formally adj
dressed to the President, not by his
enemies, nor by those who are H.
dependent OF hin, but by his friends.
The republican party now demands
an answer. lis very life depends up
on the issue So long as the Presl-
dent will not declare himself against
