Third Term Rumbug

Are we for Third Term Yes
If we have a Madison, Jefferson,
or Lincoln, serving second term,
we should want him for @ third term.
When ever we have man in office
a second term, or tenth term, if he
is still the best man for The place, we
are for him for the next term.
When business men employ agents
and find them efficient they keep
them from year to year until they
meet with others who, they think,
can 90 better. Has he served two
terms z is never question with
wide-awake business man. The
people should choose their officers
by the same rule. They should look
only for the best man. This is the
question that shalt control US in the
choice of our candidate for President.
By this rule we would be for Grant
if we thought him the best man for
che Presidency. We do not think
so, aud therefore we are not for
Grant. At present Blaine is above
all others in our estimation. We
would take g. B. Washburne in
preference to Grant. But there is
no haste as to settled choice. We
wish, however, that HERALD readers
would not allow themselves to be
played upon by men who talk Of
"Third Term" II is a sinking sore
that demagogical maggots squirm
in. There never was any probability
or possibility Of third term for
Grant. He, himself, never set a pin
for it or lifted foot in that direc-
ton. Democrats first set it up as
scarecrow and, pity It's trne, there
have been Republicans silly enough
to be frightened at it. To such we
say, take courage. The Republican
party will take you safely out of the
woods. Oar candidate will not be
General Grant.

law was passed no charges had been
preferred against it. 1t had commit
ted no offense against the rights of
the people, nor against the dignity of
the commonwealth The legislature
did not summon any of its officers to
appear before it to answer questions.
1t was trying to pay interest upon its
debts trusting to the future for remun-
Grafton. But instead of remuneration
their property has been practically
confscatcd by the action of the legis-
lature, and the name of Wisconsin for
honor and fair dealing is disgraced in
every money market in the world.
If the legislature decides that a rail
road must be operated for the benefit
of the public, then let the State act
honestly in the matter aud pay back
to the stock holders dollar for dollar
for every cent that has been actually
invested The legislature does not
limit the price of Mr.. LIS wheat, corn,
pork, oxen or sheep, but he goes into
the market and takes the highest
price that he can get but if he sells
all his lands and his stock and inves s
the money in ST Paul or Northwest
err bonds, for the benefit of his child
rem and the helpless days of his own
old age, then that wise and omn'pc-
tent power, the Legislature of Wiscon-
sin, rises up and decides shat his
property needs another guardian aud
takes from him every cent Of the in

were honestly entitled

The Madison Democrat, referring to
the applicants says: "Gov. Taylor

cants were his most jealous support
ers in the late campaign, SO he was
unbiased by any partisan or personal
considerations. When those fellows

this great financial scheme Square

has never seen, were sold for six to
ten thousand dollars each, and lands
represented as containing mineral,

most cultivated lands of France. Ths

dividend of40 per cent, was promised
its stock holders and the stock sud-
denly rose to 400 per cent. above par.
The scheme was locked upon as the
foundation on which the kingdom
