Grant Unm asks.

The mask is hitting and the face of the
third term begins clearly to appear.
Only a few months ago President Grant,
goaded into speech by the action of the
Pennsylvania Republicans, who then des-
paired Of success, made this oracular utter
ance as to his views urcn this great
question:
Now for the third term, | do not
want it any more than | did the first.
would not write or utter word to change
the will OF the people in expressing and
having their choice. The question of the
number of terms allowed to any one
Executive can only come up fairly in the
shape OF proposition to amend the Consti-
tution-a shape in which all political
parties can participate, fixing the length
of time or the number of terms for which
any one person shall be eligible for the
Office Of President. Until such an
amendment is adopted the people cannot
be restricted in their choice by resolution,
further than they are restricted as to age
nativity, &c. 1t may happen IN the future
history Of the country that to change an
EnecutiUe because he has been eight gears
IN the office aoiU prore unfortunate If not
DISASTROUS The idea that any man could
elect himself President, or even renomi-
nate himself, is preposterous. 1t is re-
fiection upon the intelligence and patriotism
the people to suppose such thing
Auy man can destroy his chances for the
office bat M one can force an election or
e' en- nomination.
10 recapituate, I am not, nor have I
ever been, a candidate for denomination.
| would not accept a nomination if it were
rendered, unless it should come under
such circumstances as to make it nlmper-
ative duty--circumstances not likely to
arise"
Only few weeks ago at Des Moin, 8
President Grant delivered himself, ,obviou :
ly under the aspiration of Attorney-Gener-
al Pierrepoint, of his belief that something
had happened in the history of the coun-
try to make it disastrous to change an
Executive, because he had been eight
years in Office, that something being the
opportunity of organizing religious cru
sade against all Americans who accept the
Pope of Rome as the head of the eccles
siastical body to which they belong.
And now the Pennsylvania Republicans
having carried an election through the
folly OF the infationists, appear and an
uounce through their organ, Foruey's
Chronicle, their readiness to eat the reso
lutions which they formerly passed against
third term and to accept President Gran
as the nominee of their party next year
The master of eighty thousand Office hold
ers, welding the compact power of his
party in every Democratic state, in whicl
the deliberate voice of the people has pro
aounced against them, feels himself stron!
enough, with the help of the corruptionists
in those states which are unhappily stii
Republicans TO force the nomination he de
