YORK HERALD TUESDAY, AUGUST T. 874-TRIPLE SHEET.

which, while aiming to dispace the republicans
VIII support the President for another term as the
national standard bearer OF this new organization
The President also submitted that the Executive
patronage would prove an element OF considerable
weight IN this new party undertaking. and that,
with all the forces TO back 1t which he had ind-
Gated defeat would be impossible and success cer-
tain.
Furthermore, we are informed that when these
hign contracting pai ties separated IL was with
the promise on the one part that the liberal re-
pubhcans, SO far as directly represented IN this
conference, will move In behalf OF General Grant
Tor a third term, and with q promise on his part
that to strengthen this movement the President
viii veto the Civil Rights bill If passed at this
coming session OF Congress; will insist upon civil
service reform, Notwithstanding the objections of
this Congress; will urge o universal amnesty in
his next annual message, and to the extent OF his
power and resources Will clear out the carpet
baggers and prove himself true friend of the
South and OF Southern rights under the consi.
tuition.
We have this information, we repeat from an
intelligent and responsible man, who says that
these things are true and who believes that under
the programme we have outlined General Grant
can. and probably will, be elected Tor q third
Presidential term as the candidate OF the combined
opposition forces against the party In power. We
learn further that the leading republicans Of the
COuntry-and of New York most prOminently-are
not only distressed but indignant at this continued
and mysterious silence OF General Grant in refer
ence to q third term; that they suspect there is
mischief in it, and that they prepared to adopt
and play the liberal republicans against him Ia
our November State election. At all events the
liberal republicans are now In tho position of the
men who hold the gap, and Mr.. Conkling may well

THE NEW YORK FAvORITE
OF the administration An active party politician,
who pleads the plea that his mouth is sealed,
says:-"Only see how we are tied up. Ii the Pres-
dent would only gracefully retire from the Pres-
dental course we could, under the banner OF Sem
atOr Conkling as our first choice, sweep New York
In November. But what can we do now? Nothing
because we don't know where we stand; and
Mr.. Murphy is all wrong, II what the HERALD says
are his opinions is true. The President ought to
know that IN Keeping silence on this momentous
question of third term he is playing the part of
an armed neutral, armed against us and he ought
to know that the example OF Washington In fixing
the Presidential limitation at two terms has be-
come as strong as the constitutions
without any party predictions or motives or
designs in these matters, and with respect for
the great public services and personal character
OF General Grant which cannot easily be shaken
your correspondent nevertheless gives you the in
formation embodied in this report, under q strong
impression that IL is essentially true and Of the
highest Importance to the republican party to the
opposition elements and to the country at large
