NUMERICALLY there is apparently
tie in the utterances Of Republican
conventions on the third term, but the
Cincinnati Enquirer endeavors to make
it appear that only one Of the four con-
ventions that have spoken has pro-
nounced boldly against it. South Car
olina spoke for it; Kentucky, It says
merely Genied that the President was
candidate: "Ohio did not say Lthat If
Grant were a candidate he should not
he reelected" "Pennsylvania alone
met the question" The inference OF
the Enquirer is that the majority IS
still for a third term, and this Is It's
prophecy: 'Thenezt Presidential can
didate for the Republicans Will be a

is now"
