W HAT SENATOR MCDONALD OF
INDIANA, THINKS ABoUTIT.
From he Cincinnati Commercial
" Senator McDonaldp asked, = a,
yon think that Grant ~ playing for third
term?'
Most undoubtedly he is and has beer
for a year All his actions 90 to prove
that, especially his late move In re.
cognizing Brooks as Governor Of Arkansas
His idea is 10 rally the tarpet-bag forces
and with his spresent army Of otiicehoIden
he hopes 70 ride into power
Doyou think he has any show, ever
II he gets the nomination p
: No, sir, do not. He will not be abl,
tocarry four States in the North. Th,
people will suffer the written Constitution
20 be violated aud all other written laws
but they never will go back on tradition
Public sentiments. North and South, /.
overwhelmingly against Grant, and Il
will be stronger against him two year.
from now, or by the next eiection'--Hs
may play his cards well for third term
but lie cannot win. You hear Repub
licaus say every day that they will nesel
vote Tor Grant for the third term. Some
ofthese men may, aud no doubt will, bu
yet their remarks show that there is !,
stroug public sentiment against the third
term policy. Men will heter go Lack Oh
their traditions
pdt suppose that Grant gets up q civil
war by his Infamous and ovel bearing acts
what thenT
He will not do that. He dare not d.
that. He may intimidate, buster and
make believe tina. he is going to get VI
strife to frighten The people into the sup
port OF his measures, but that l. as far ii
he will 60. When he gets to the poin
where thereis danger ufa war he viii
haul In his sails. There Is certain poin
to which Grant can 60, and when h,
reaches that point he will subside. / Ihav,
nofears of another war In thiscountIy, nS
matter what Grant may do. The South i
too conservative, patient aud heroic, an,
viii stand the most obnoxious and OPP
pressive laws before It will take up arm
again, for they know that In 1876 tn
Democratic party will came again il
power, and that they will have all th,
rights that they are entitled to--the right
guaranteed to them unde the Constitution
and enjoyed BY the people OF the Northern
StatesJ
Is therc not danger Of some OF ou
Democrats making fools Of themselves ii
the next Congress p
Yes, there Is greater danger Of that
as we have such large majority and on
men have not been in power for 20 long
and the majority are inexperienced.
would have been better flour niajorit,
was smaller than II is.'
How long, Senator Mcdonald, do yol
think it will Le before politics assume
shape 50 llIat we can speculate upon the
probable Democratic nominee for th
Presidency next year p
1T will not be long. Already IN,
matter is being extensively canvassed.
am satisfied that the nominee this time, /,
Le successful, must come fn,m the West
We cannot select man from the Norti
for the West u tired " voting for extrcm
Eastern men. The last three Presiieniia
Democratic nominations have hcen fron
New York-Ntcclellan, Seymour, an,
'irveley. The next time we must have
Western man.
Who do you think that will be p
1T Is harl 10 tell. think the duty O
Indiana Is plain. IL should bring on
Mr.. Hendricks and earnestly press hi
claims. Kentucky ought to 90 with Ind
ana Cor MI. Hendricks, and think Soutl,
ern Ohio will. The south will supper
SIR. Hendricks, I think
Won't Uncle Billy Allen run?,
Idon't think lac will. lie ought no

Thurman
Ought the Vice President 10 come from
the North p
Yes, think -. But then Il does ffo
make much difference. II ho were
southern man, lac would have TO be
very Conservative one. Gordon woul,
not be q bad selection. We could no
affori TO take q man less CONSERVATIVE
than Gordon
Hendricks and Gordon would bo

"That ticket, sir, would sweep sb
country
