The Evening Post ON the Third
Term.
The Evening Post has the following
editorial
''The President of the United States
seems DESTROYS to leave the Republican
party no alternative but suicide or his re-
nomination, to destroy itself or be de-
stroyed. This is great sacrifice to make,
but if necessary it will be too great for the
lesson it will teach 1t will give Presi-
dent Grant the unenviable distinction of
being the first and the last of our chief
magistrates who has presumed to look
upon a third m-tO lust after it."

Grant and the Third
Term.
WHsHINGToN, Oct. 26th.-The Ma
tional Republican, which has been advo-
eating the third term for President Grant,
says to-day: 1.-THE Presidency, during
another term, would have few attractions
for him. It would confer upon him no
further or higher honor, and there is no
reason, therefore, to suppose that he de-
sires it. On the contrary, his natural
tastes and inclinations are known to be in
the direction of domestic quietude and
privacy"
