DIX AND THE THIRD TERM.
wish to say few words In conclusion ON THE
QUESTION OF THE THIRD TERM -(cneers) which
above all others Is attracting public attention. 1t
Is deemed by all classes OF citizens Q revolutionary
idea. but no one can by any enort extract de-
caration Of the policy OF the administration.
EVEN GOVERNOR DIX ADMITS THAT HE HAS
NOT LEARNED THE VIEWS OF THE PRESIDENT,
and It Is not strange that he does not like to sue.

to throw aside the burdens Of public life. IL

example would be deemed more suitable than ad-
vice, even II ne did not know what the President
may do about the third term. General DIX made
another decarauon-whar he himself means TO do
about it; for as ne said that he mas held for
forty years that the Presidency OF the United
States should have but one term, can
he himself do less than tell an inqutring
public what course he Will take II General

back to General Grant, and leaves II for the Presi-

WITH POWER FOX TWO YEARS MORE. IT
SHOULD BE KNOWN WHAT He INTENDS TO DO
UPON THIS VITAL QUESTION. tchsers.)

He congratulated them upon the great victories
achieved BY the democratic party In the West, and
he hoped that on Tuesday next. looking ct the
great interests involved, they would DO the Same
as the West. He contended tnat TIE THIRD TENN
MOVEMENT WOULD BIZ THE COMPLETION or THOSE
REVOLUTIONARY MEASURES WHICH HAD BEEN CAR
RIED OUT roR TIE RECONSTRUCTION or THE SoUT1.
The third term business was THE NATURAL CCL.
AINATION OF TnE DEsPVTIC MEASURES THAT
HAD PRECEDED IT. He adverted to an ar
tlcls IN the Cincinnati Gdsstts. Q paper which he
said had supported the radicals. observing tnat
the article IN question, referring to the radical
measures, had declared that those measures were
calculated to degrade the governments OF the
United STATES. The writer said that democratic
institutions IN this country must como TO an end,
AND THAT THE MAN ON horseback. TIE

hand In hand convention OF Philadelphia. On that
occasion General DIX promised to oppose the 70.
