Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1875-11-18

WASHINGTON, November lathe third
term movement develops rapidly, and in
official circles the Times correspondent has
heard much talk upon the subject. Many
leading Republicans say that Grant is the
only man who can save the party, and unless
IL is saved "blear-eyed rum" is bound to stalk
through the land. On to-day FOrney' Sunday
Chronicle an administration organ, came out
in column boldly announcing the support of
Grant for third term, upon the ground that
he is the only man who can save the party.
Forney SAYS that the kepu Slican party will
be compelled in 1876 to take Grant as 1t was IN
1868. he people have long ago ceased to be
frightened by the cry OF CSeSarlsm. he then
rings out a sad wall over the fact that all OF
the old rebels are coming into power in con-
sress: that the lie of the republic is thereby
endangered, and that Grant is the only man
who can save it. Grant was nominated out
side of politics, and his prestige and name
have always made him stronger Than his par
ty. -Four years ago, Forney thinks,
Greeley would have hin, defeated a1ane For amy
attributes the victory. The situation now he
thinks the same as eight and four years ago.
The party needs to be saved. Here torney
saws: at can only win q reat victory on the
personal merit of its candidate for President.
it could not win with General Sherman, be-
against him. 1t cannot nominate Sheridan,
because his foreign birth excludes him. 1t
has not got civilian who could carry Penn
syivenia, Ohio, or New York. Charles r ran
els Adams is the only civilian who has any
thug like a clear record and personal or
historical prestige TO help in case he was NOM
would be as dead weight to carry as was
Judge PeTshing, the Democratic candidate for
governor OF Pennsylvania. There Is no es-
cane from this view of the question OF electing
q President, and the masses of the Republican
party, no longer affrighted with the absurd
cry of Cesartsm, are now looking TO Grant
as confidently as they ever regarded
him, Indeed, the Democracy in Ohio and
Pennsylvania actually made third term an
| issue against the Republicans, but it failed to
excite the repugnance it was calculated it
would arouse, while without doubt the posi-
| ton OF Grant on the educational question
| aided the Republican party i'll securing vic.
| tory, Governor Hayes, after the campaign
| was over in Ohio stated in the executive NJ an
| sion in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, while a
guest OF Governor HartranfJ, that the educa-
| tional question had given the Republicans the
victory in the Buckeye State. 1t was Grant
who made that question aepuoncan issue IN
| a speech delivered few weeks previous to the
Ohio election" The above derives its impor-
| lance m ainly from the fact that ~ Is correct
| summary of the opinion AMI views of many
leading Republican politicians here. The
school question and anti Catholicism are TO be
| dwelt upon in the annual message, under the
tutelage of Morton. The ideas foTeshadowed
| in the leader in the ChTQaicIs are really based
| upon matured plan, prepared by the Presi-
dent and his intimates since the late fall cleo
| uons. The prospect OF third term Is now
| admitted by dozen men where IL was by one
| before the election. Colonel Mosb, the
original third term man, is at tue mead Of an
| organization in the south formed for the Sc
| creT purpose OF advocating the Presidents re-
| election He at present makes his head
| quarters IN tllS city, There Is also q Eecret
| society forming throughout the country
known as the ti-Catholic organization. rms
society is pledged 70 the President. Secret
| circulars are sent out to the leading men
