4 THIRD TfEMER ~ THE FIELD.


Mr Theodore NJ. PomcToy is named rs the
second choice of Mr. a. B. CoInclrs support
crs ~ the Republican candidate for Governor
Mr.. PomcrOy was temporary chairman OF the
state Convention two years ago which nomi-
mated Gen. Dix, and made very long and
scattering sort of speech upon the occasion
There was at that time a prevailing suspicion,
to which the conduct of the President and hlS
intimate friends gave seriousness that third
term for President Grant was on the pro-
grammc of the White House politicians. So
deeply rooted was this suspicion aud 20 dam
aging IN IT. effect upon the Republican party
that in many quarters II had been found
necessary for the Republicans to formally diSl-
vow and rcpudiatc this scheme. In this state
il was known that the question of third
term had been widely discussed, and that un-
less the Republican State Convention should
take some positive action with regard 10 1t the
effect would he very damaging 10 the pros
poets of the party. But the Convention was
managed and handled BY politicians to whom
il was vastly more important not To give
oilrnse to the President Chan TO save the party
from defeat Mr. POmcToy led oil the pro-
cccdings and Senator Conkling concluded
.hrm. each with a speech in which, 80 far
f,om saying anything to remove from thc party
the responsibility for the third term business,
the third term was hiEtcd at rs proper and by
no means improbable.
Mr.. Pomcroy indicated - the only way in
which the third tenn could be ayoIcd that
the Democracy should give u hearty accept
"ancc III good faith OF the constitutional
amendments; accept tho validity OF the
National debt and its payment in coin, as
promised in spirit and letter give an honest

New-York as those Immediately preceding.
OF all grain received at the six Atlantic ports,
Ncw-York received only 49.7 per cent, ana of

week the proportion was of all grain GO.5 per

II has been claimed that the increase or de-

Attention Samuel Randall and Samuel Cox!
Samuel Tildcn desires TO make some remarks.
You've been doing some very smart things In the
way of tacking independent legislation on TO ap-
preparation bills 1t wasn't a new dodge, but you
have had great deal OF fun out of it. and no doubt
think you deserve great praise from your party.
Listen TO what Samuel Tilden says about it, after
great deal of hard thinking. SIN my judgment"
SAYS Samuel Tilden, " an amendment of the ConSti-
tuition ought to be devised separating into distinct
bills the appropriations for the various departments
Of the public service, and excluding from 0ach bill
all appropriations for other objects, and all indie
pendent legislation. In that way alone can the re-
ysory power Of each of the two Houses and OF the
Executive be preserved and exempted from the moral
Gurrss which often compos assent to Objectionable
appropriations rather than stop the wheels of the
Government" Listen, Samucl Randall and Samuel
Cox to Samuel Tiicn. He calls it moral duress,
aad says It ought to be stopped.
