The Third-Termers JUbiIanf.


WASHINGTON, November 3.-TheTe
is intense joy at the White House to.
night over the complexion of the re-
turns from New York, Pennsylvania
ard N Massachusetts,. 1t is no longer a
secret that the friends of the President,
in pushing him for a third term, made
a compact with the Republican leaders
to take tire result OF the elections to-day
in Pennsylvania and Massachusetts IS
an indication Of his eligibility for thiId
nomination. The q Sc shave in Ohio
three weeks ego startled tue leaders of
the party and warned t9em that the adj
minisuation could st Will, as It did In
New York year ago when the custom
house Republicans laid out John a. Dix,
defeat oil opposition within the party
by defeating the party itself. A truce
between the friends and the opponents
Of Grant for the nomination Of 1876 was
the consequence of Hayes's slim major
ity of only five thousand in total pop
ular vote of five hundred Thousand, and
a cartel was RrIaDged in anticipation Of
a Republican victUIy in tO.day's cleo
lions by which all opposition TO the
third term would, in such an event, he
withdrawn by Grants opponents.
Meantime the Presidents friends organ
lied on his behalf. ZachaTiah Chaud-
Ter was given the vacant seat in the
cabinet, and has timed his return to
Washington so aE TO make his
temperance here t)-mOrrow, when the
results in Pennsylvania and Msssa-
chusetts will have fred the Republican
heart a'fesh throughout the country.
Judge Edmunds was IN turn taken INFO
counsel with Mr. Chandler, and a plan
Of campaign agreed upon. The die IS
cast, and the lhird-teTmeTs have won,
even without the great and unexpected
Republican gsin in New York, one dis
patch saying thlt Seward has carried
the State by eight thousand majority.
Hsrtranft's reelection and Rics's vic
tory silence the opponents of the Presi-
dent From tomorrow will go forth, as
far az the Republican leaders hege 1n
Washington can urge it, fresh props-
ganda of the third term. In this pro-
posed canvass to secure the Republican
nomination for Grant next year, his
friends have hit upon the ingenious idea
If, indeed, it has not been suggested
by the President himself-that tAe qGes
ton of infistiOn should not be Presi-
Dental issue, butshOuld be referred back
to the people In their various congress
tional districts, to be settled in the way
Horace Greeley proposed the free-tTade
issues should be settled when he accept
ed the Democratic Presidential nOmina-
ton. This project shows no mean STRAIT
e2ic powers on tie part Of the third-term
managers ut the very outset Of their new
movement. In this way they will hope
to sail safely around the rock of imitation
upon which the Democracy are splitting,
east and west. There was Joy, there
fore, to night at the White House.
Cincinnati Enquirer
WASHINGTON, November The el-
ectiOns held yesterday constitute the
principal topic of conversation to-day in
Washington, The Republicans ge1er-
ally regard the results, when taken in
with their success in Ohio
and Iowa in October, as assuring them
victory in the next Presidential election.
They arejutilaut along the whole line
from the White House down 10 the
humb, est tide water. That faction who
constitute tue third-teTmeTs are now
that General Grant can easily
be nominated in the next national con-
vention if the proper efforts are made in
his behalf by those protesting ID be
friends OF the administration, and who
are enjoying its pStroDage. The kitch-
en- cabinet are to-day out pOken on the
subject. They assert tnat General Grant
will in the convention have nearly the
entire vote of the southern Republi-
Gals to start with Toe hard-mOney
men end toe mUneyed interests
of the Ca.tsrn States, they con-
tend, would have more confidence IL
Grant than in any one else, and the
anti Catholic element, who regard the
sch, o. issue as paramount one, are re-
gsrded as SEQUEL by the DesMoiues
speech. With these forces, and the fact
that there is no concentration OF Repub-
licau strength on Blaine, Conkhug or
any other Presidential sspiraut, they
feel that there would be no difficulty in
securing his nomination. A prominent
membe- Of the government said but the
other day that Chsnd er's appointment
was al indication that the President had
not abandoned the rCgu az Republican
organ IL alton for the idea Of new re-
forn parry, az had been inferred ffom
some recent cabinet appointments. He
said that the country would learn before
long what Chambers appointment
really meant. As a part OF this new
movement, not only the Presidents in
innate friends, but the President him.
,,,elf is now sIsaking TO his friends in
r f., ence ID CuGaa matters, in
style, which shows that he is
about reSdy to strike out new path,

and their logicsi development in MS
action, a collision wish Spain is an event
which may be pTeeip!tated upon The
country at any day. It is curious fact
that prominent Republicans are ssking
Of Democrats here what course the house
Of representatives would pursue In such
a case. Some leading Republicans aIe
