sequence OF the large amount of advertising
claiming our attention. Since then, we find
the following special telegram fAern Masking
ton to the New York Graphic coniirmatory of
the yicws expressed as to the wishes OF the
President.
According to cur conviction, however, from
present developments, and the signs Of the
times, the popularaiMpulse of the nation will
Enthusiastically indicate the nomination Of Gen.
Grant for q third term.
The revival Of national sentiment by the oc-
currence OF the centennial Of the battle of Lex
ilgton, Massachusetts, and the observance Of
the centennial of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence in 1876, will arouse patriotic fervor
throughout the length and breadth of the coun-
try. that will crystalize into a manifestation OF
all uncounpromising demand for the CONTINUE
ance Of the services of the great soldier ana eli
william who has fer the past six years admins
tered tile Jaws and directed the affairs of the
American Republic.
The dispatch alluded to, dated Washington.
April 2ist, says:
/ take advantage of the absence OF President
Grant and his Cabinet to make public a fact
with regard to the next Presidency which may
help to the simplifcaton Of the coming can
vass. President Grant is not q candidate for
reelection for third term, and neuer has been.
He never suggested the idea himself. and never
gave any one the slightest warrant for sllppos-
ing that he would take the nomination il offer
eds aud it is understood here that ii he had
ever been asked by any authoritative body he
would have declined to be considered a candi-
date under any circumstances. The curious
part of this absurd controversy is that no one
having authority has ever asked the President
whether he would be candidate for third
term, and the president very naturally didn't
wishto say anything unsolicited or make the

generally OF national debts and of the different
In which they being dealt with. So far In It's history
our country In quite distinguished among nations by

BILE after the necessity which gives rise to debt has passed
away. Other nations are Increasing their indebted

to do long they can borrow. But apprehen-
sion with regard To such enormous gr0wths OF public
