The Union. Herald explains that it
did not mean to stigmatize the Demo-
cratic party OF tho State. but the donsi-
nGnt party. as corrupt and disgracefui.
Very likely, and altogether proper.
But what does it mean in the next SEN
tenoeP "The types made us say De-
mocratic' party. We heartily wish
that the types were truthful chroniolers
in this instance" That is to say, you
wish that the Democratic party was US
corrupt as your types made you say it
was. Rather a droll wish. We are
willing to believe. however, that this,
again. is only type perverseness or a
pen slip. But in another article there
is imputation which does not accord
with this disavow wal. I'm speaking of
the Democrats as likely to benefit by
divisions OF the Radioais in getting
control Of offioes such as the Treasury,
Comptroller Generalship. Co.. there
drops from the Union- Herald pen these
precious sentences: "They may fairly
argue. that no matter how we'll Mr..
Cardozo may have done. Mr.. Tren-
holm or Mr.. Memminger can do bet
ter. Instead of their having colored
man and Republican in the treasury.
they caa have one OF their own party
to aid them. with all the power OF the
treasury. to carry the State in 1875"
Here is covert appeal to party and race
prejudice to come to the Treasurer's
aid. To this,ws are Indifferent, and
havv no obisotibn. But thu aocompa-
nyiag'insFnuasion. that Democrat in
the office Of Treasurer would use the
public money. all the power of the
treasdry. 10 carry an election, is to
suppose that Radical morals and prac.
tices would be adopted by him. Such
thing was never known or imagined,
till the advent Of Radicalism. Does
the Union Herald wish to produce the
impression, that the corruptions of
Radicalism have saturated the whole
mass OF society. that the conta.
gion Of dishonesty has spread every
where? It must mean, then, that ho-
nesty cannot be found, and it is useless
to entertain the idea that. by any pro-
cess OF change, or reform, or any
thing else. it can be introduced into
the public service. While We have
not thought for moment of any
Democrat being elected to the office of
Treasurer or Comptroller, We must say
that the Union Herald oatrages public
sentiment and grossly violates justice
in, attributing to any such supposed
Democratic officer fthe Woes and
ussges Of its party No decent Demo.

What tho Herald Thinks.

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Herald, to.
day, editorially discusses the third term
letter from a political point of view. It
says that letter is so worded as to admit
Of two corrections, but 1t is only in the
sense In which 1t is accepted by the Re.
publican party, that it has any very close
bearing on practical politics.
The Herald argues at length to show
that the Republicans who are opposed
to Grants reelection for third term
will construc the letter as renuncia.
tion Of a nomination and ignore his name
In the next campaign.
THE EVENING POST,
commenting ON the Presidents third
term letter, says it comes better late than
never. 1t is open to verbal criticism,
but the common sense of the people will
eonstrue the letter, and rightly, as an
uDequivocal disavowal by man who is
rot dissembler Of purpose This letter
has been wrenched from the President
by the force of public opinion.
The Express considers the letter Meth
er gracious in manner, sound in judg.
ment, nor conclusive as to his position.
The Mail says the letter shows how lit
tie of a Caesar he has really been. Those
who know him best have most unquali
fiedly declared he never had any expec-
tati0ns Of third term.
