THIRD TERM RuSINESS

The Chicago Tribune's Washington
special says:
There is the very best authority for
the statement that the President has
grown weary of the third term talk, and
has intimated his purpose to publicly
define his position an that subject at an
early day. He will disclaim all hope OF
ambition for reelection, and will as
sert his purpose not to be candidate
again even if he should be re-nominated
IN convention. From the same source
the information is had that the White
House ticket for 1876 will be Wash
burne, of Illinois, for the first place,
and Speaker Blaine for Vice-President.
1t is understood that Blaine will take
the second place. This statement of the
Presidents position with regard to the
third term project comes from such a
quarter and III such a shape that it is
entitled to the fullest credence, as will
be demonstrated by the action Of the
President WITHIN a few weeks.
