OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

Following are the opinions OF q num-
Der of the leading papers in the East IN
regard to President Grants third term
letter:
The Cincinnati Commercial says OF it /:
The Presidents letter is ~irreconcilable !;
antagonistic with his resolution as res
poets the principle announced. as it is IN
striking contrast with it in style, tone and
texture. The resolution is grave, high
and clear, immovable and impersonal.
The letter is crude, with strong express
sions here and there, and two or three
touches that would sympathize If the
whole were not so penetrated with ego
tism aud SO painfully lacking in political
intelligence. 1t is plain that Grant has
not the least conception as to the number
of terms he may hold under the Consti-
tuition as it is, and warns us that we may
need more than two terms, and have I'M
perative reasons for making the sanguine
sacrifice, and that the time has come
when his party must gofor him or against
him on the question of the succession.
The New York Herald, referring edito-
rally t. the Presidents third term letter,
says it is the most important political
declaration since his accession to office,
an exceedingly adroit letter, bu: far from
being satisfactory. There is nothing in
it to prevent Grants third term. We
shall be surprised if the country accepts
this declaration. It is an ~evasive letter.
1t would have been better for his fame
and the welfare of the party which he
serves had he not written it. The Oun
try has been told the President will not
take what is not offered him. The Her
aid wants a declaration that will destroy
Casarism by limiting all administrations
to one term and no reelection ever after.
The Enquirer says 1t is a plain consent
to accept a third nomination for the Pres
idency if rendered him. It is 80 coupled
with laudatory comments upon his mill
tary services as to leave no doubt not
only concerning his willingness, but n
corning his anxiety to become a Presi-
Dental candidate again. In short, the
twice elected President of the United
States. in an open letter him
self as a candidate for a third term.
IT, TI.no, o1-c,~c 4L1 D~cco-&,-
views expressed with simplicity and frank
ness that the declaration being deemed
unsatisfactory by persons who raised the
cry of third term, if not satisfied. they
will pick holes in the letter and take out
sentences. The Times concludes that
the letter ought to be accepted by all just
and fair-minded men as absolutely put
ting an end to the whole question, and
Republicans shall prepare for the work
of 1875, without reference to the posi-
bility of Grant being in the field as a can
didate.
The Tribune says that, although some
what deficient in its phraselogy. the Pres
ident's letter being taken as a final with
drawing of Grants name from the next
Presidency, if. he had only said as much
somet time ago, what suffering the Tribune,
says, might have been spared to Repub-
licans.
The World, in its editorial, says that
nobody can fail to read the extreme re-
luctance with which the President makes
any pretense of resigning his chance of
reelection. His letter, which purports
to be a resignation of his p~retensions is
not SO in fact. The saving clause in it
enables him to pass those pretenses when
ever he chooses, which means if and
when he sees a probability of success.
A Herald special from Washington says
the President will accept the third term
as readily as he did the first and second.
He never was anxious for the Office, and
SO long as there are no constitutional
reasons he is willing to be the candidate
OF any party that thinks his presence is
necessary for the good of the country.
The San publishes the letter without
comment.
