A recent issue of the New York Herald
contains the following:
Thus far since the canvass the Democrats
have only made one point, namely: Their at
tack upon the administration ON account OF
Louisiana. This arose, not from their own
wisdOn, but from the folly OF the President
and the precipitency of General Sheridan.
This assault has been a blessed chance to
the Democrats. They have used ii to their
advantage with cOnsummate ability and
perseverance. Upon other questions they
have gained nothing. Instead of showing to
the country, by their selection of Senators

Nothing has been said in Congress about
the 0ne-term issue. The Democrats. during
the canvass, heralded from every stump
that the great danger of the republic was
C@sarism. Naturally the first thing they
would do in Congress would be TO offer a
one-term amendment to the constitution.
Not one word has been said on the subject.
