Stabbed by its Friend.

The Chicago Times says the indie
pendents of Illinois sare in favor OF
Wholesale confscation Of the property
of all creditors, both public and pri-
vate;" that the convention was a repu-
diation concern, and that the farmers
of illinois have been advancing back
wards in knowledge and in the sense
of justice and honesty" and adds:
Thus with success almost in its grasp,
the convention deliberately cut its own
political throat on the most vital question
of the time. From movement OF men
protesting to be honest and demanding
equal justice for all, it has become by the
mouth of its convention in Illinois, a revl.
val of Pendletonism demanding repudia.
ton, The farmers of Illinois were captured
by the Pendletonians and SPECTATORS at
Springfield much in the same way that
the free.traders, who went to Cincinnati
in 1S72,were captured by the pig-iron pol.
iticians and Office brokers. Like the Yin.
cinnati- Baltimore political ornithorhyn-
chus," from coherent body with COM
mon purpose, it is become an organized
contradiction" declaring Oh the one hand
against the tariff and subsidized modes OF
robbery, and on the other hand in favor
of the greater mode Of robbery by that
worst of all possible frauds, an inconyeIt-
ible creditcurrency, with indihnite inha-
ton and ano more redeemable than yard
stick" As "party," it is in Illinois q
fraud and delusion, thing divided
against itself and without rational figure.

THE rival editors of the "indepen-
dent" press in New York, Cincinnati
ard Louisville are quarreling about.the
priority of their claims in mentioning
that President Grant will run for a
third term. So far as We have observ-
ed, the Cincinnati Commercial is ahead,
some correspondent of that paper hav-
ing agitated the subject as far back as
1872. We can 60 still further back
than that on the third term question.
After much deliberatien the trainers of
the Constitution came to the conclusion
that the people of the United States
could elect any body to the presidency
shat they wanted to. If man has
proven by one term of service that he
is the right man in the right place, the
people are allowed to re employ him; if
in the second term the people have
their confidence in him verified by
his administration, he may be again
elected. AS far as Cesarism is con-
cerned, we have a fai th in the spirit of
popular liberty that precludes all fear
of it. We breathe an atmosphere of free
dom and tolerance. The former keeps
us democrats and the latter contents us
with submitting to the will of the ma
jority. There is nothing startling in
the third term question. 1t was agi-
tated and decided upon when the gov
eminent was formed. The early
Presidents who held the Office for two
terms were old men. They wished to
enjoy few years Of rest before death.
They had earned their vacation and
felt no desire for renewed honors.
The people clamored for Washington
to serve another term, but worn out in
the service of the people he felt justi-
fed in refusing, and did SO. Probably
Grant, though younger man, will be
glad to escape the abuse of this same
independent press at the close Of his
second term. At all events, we hear
nothing about his being nominated
again except from his enemieas

began to start forward with reasonable
progress. Public credit began to be
strengthened, and means were taken
to restore the dilapidated railways.
Under judicious system of taxation
the payment Of interest on the state
debt was secured. This order of things
continued until 1869, when Demo-
cratic administration was elected, and
change of policy instantly instituted.
Every means was brought to bear to
PROSTATE the credit Of the state. Tax
es were reduced to nominal sums, in
terest on bonds was unpaid, and then
the representatives of the Democratic
party bought them in at forty or fifty
cents on the dollar. Having done this,
the Democratic legislature was seized
with a sudden spasm of honesty. The
credit Of the state must be sustained.
The railroads were ordered to be sold,
and turned over into the hands Of the
monopohsts, and taxes rushed up to a
point that Appropriated confsoation in
order to pay the representative Dem
ocrats for state securities which they
had obtained at half their value. This
specimen of Democratic sharpness will
doubtless be appreciated by the people,
and have its effect at the next election;
but in the mean time the state has lost
millions and few wire-pullers grown
rich.
