clsrrs ths, h. would serve but one term
as President. 1t is An offer that he
openly makes tn the people, to sooth
their apprsher.si,ns and gain th"ir con-

assuming that it Is for him to settle that

Governor TILDEN is guiltyof nothing of
that sort, but leaves the lresiden-
iisl office where it now is, al the disposal
of the people. lie does not say, 81 will
not take the Office second time" but
simply suggests to the people, whose
