ing that it was the answer given by
Pennsylvania to that question which
induced, and which alone induced
him to "break his silence?" A body
of dignity and authority" in 1874
offers him the Presidency for the
third term. President Grant listens
in silence. A second body, of no
more dignity and authority" in
1875 declares that no man shall ever
with its consent, be thrice proclaimed
President. President Grant at once
vehemently exclaims that nothing
but an amendment to the Constitu-
ton" can prevent him flDm being
proclaimed President thrice or any
number of times! q
Of course it was very stupid and
unnecessary for President Grant to
expose his true feeling on this sub
Iject in this clumsy and maladroit
way. But this is by no means the
first folly of the kind into which he
has been hurried by his Impotence
Of advice, even from those who are
as deeply interested almost as him
self in the results of his conduct

a blunder than his midnight message

Political Notes.

fOllticdl notes.
Republican Conventions should
not abandon their intention to ex-
press their opposition to a third
term. President Grants letter gives
them an opportunity to condemn the
principle without rejecting upon him.
1t would be well to crush the propo-
sition so completely now that it will
never rise " again.
Secretary Fish is receiving a
small amount of very cautious com
mendation for the Presidency. The
Springfield Republican contributes
this mite: sThere are at least two
things to be said in favor of Hamil-
ton Fish as a Presidential candidate.

plainly before President Grant, if he
is to be renominated at all, is any
more likely to be renominated than
he is to be appointed Archbishop OF
Granada by the Pope. The first OF
these conventions (bodies of equal
authority and dignity expressly
renominated President Grant for a
third term. President Grant heard
and, by his silence, gave assent to the
nomination. The second OF these
conventions finding that the action
of the first and the virtual indorse
ment of it's action by President Grant
had brought the party well nigh te
destruction, expressly declared
against the election of anybody at al
without naming Grant, tothe Pres
idency for these terms. President
Grant hears and instantly flames ou'
with letter, the only plain and pos
tive statement in which is an angry
declaration that he has perfect rlgh'
to be renominated, if anybody like:
to renominate him, until "an amend
ment to the Constitution" prevents
it. In the face fthese simple facts
what becomes of the Presidents as
sertioni that it was only the dignity
and authority" of the body which
had considered the question OF
third term that induced him to "breal
his silence on the subject? Is i
not absolutely plain on his own sho"

Some of the principal banks reported to-

ward tendency.
City Bonds were stagnant at about previous

the terms, while others are disinclined to par
ticipate in the arrangement.
