POLITIC.4L NOTES.

Mr.. JONI BIGELow Gays Mr.. Tilden Is remarkable
for Suppressed herosn."
THERE arc breakers" OH the Jersey coast and
Blaine may be paid in his own coin.
IT is generally conceded that brother.in-law
Moulton got even" with the New York Times.
FROM appearances there will be good deal of
"notsom aud jesom" in the Chicago convention.
THE Blaine circulars that are published to show
how the tide is rising for The Maine Senator" are
interesting mainly as works of fiction.
GovgRSoR Long of Massachusetts,, denies tn o
report that he sent letter of sympathy to the anti
Grant convention at st. Louis, and says the only
letter he wrote one declining tho invitation to
be present.
THE Terre Haute Gd=afe is getting over the i'm
mediate effects of the late election. II was able to
remark, in its Issue of Wednesday evening: From
pleasant position on the fiat OF our political back
we are looking up"
WIsCoSsIN's twenty delegates were in the Blaine
column always until the Republican convention
met anc his immense" popularity was source OF
wonder even to himself, until some unfortunate
Blaine man asked for poll of the convention. 1t
was then shown that Blaine had but eighty eight
delegates out of25l.
THE correspondent at Washington of the Rich
mOnd (Va.) State (Democratic) has found u number
of Democratic representatives who advise that iii
| special deputies be appointed next fall without
an express appropriation having been made for
their pay. the electoral vote of any state where
they may be employed should not be counted
Mr.. MCCLURE, Of the Philadelphia Times, who
knows good deal more about the politicians Of
| Pennsylvania than the Tribune, Herald. or the
other anti-third-term boomers, says that all the
talk about the Pennsylvania delegation boiling OF
Grant will be realized as buncombe. He inclines
the opinion that the delegation will vote with Dol
Cameron and so thinks every one else except III,
| antl-third- term lunatics.

Illinois is safe for GRANT. Seventeen
counties aggregating sixty delegates de-
clared for GRANT in their conventions held
on Friday and Saturday. One county with
seven delegates gave six to BLAINE and one
to WAsBBURNE Two counties with four
teen delegates instructed for WAsHBURNE.
What Cookicounty will do to-day it is i'm
possible for us to more than guess. The re-
turns given in our dispatches say that the
county convention Embellishments
70; GRANT, co. BLAINE 30. These figures
appear to dispose of BLAINE under any
circumstances. We take it that he will
have no delegate in the Stale convention
from Cook county. 1t ought to be fair to
count WAsHBURNE men rs favorable to
GRANT, but as WAsRBURNE declares that
he is not candidate and that he is warmly
for GRANT the existence of this WASH
BURNE movement is, at this distance, hard
to understand. 1t is probable that il
means division of the delegation between
GRANT and WAsHBURNE. 1t is possible
that it means solid WAsHBURSE delega.
ton.
Whatever it may mean isrendered of less
consequences because Of the action of the
other counties which voted onFriday and Sat
urday. GRANT has clear working major
ity in the State convention after counting
Cook county solidly against him.

The convention and break their faith for

all the same to them, though neither may

betrayal Of their trust whether they do it
by themselves or their alternates. This
occurrence does not create any surprise with

THE rH1Rp-rERM BUGBEAR.

No one of political experience and ohser-
walton, who has given any attention to the
philosophy of politics, attaches much i'm
portance to the anti third-term froth that
surmounts the beer in the political goblet
at this time. 1t is all efferyescence, and is
produced now in the hope of securing some
personal advantage in the struggle for
preferment In the first place, there is
nothing in the third term objection beyond
n mere caprice or within. 1t possesses no
principle, and scarcely rises to the dignity
of sentiment. There is nothing in the
Constitution or laws against third term
any more than there is against a second
term. There are no dangers impending
over a third term more than over first,
for every new man must be tried-and il
lie proves true TO his trust in the first in
stance, it is the best possible guarantee the
country can have that q second, a third OF
even fourth would be equally safe to its
interests. A moments reflection in the light
of common sense will satisfy any candid
mind of the correctness of this view
When General GRANT shall have been
nominated all this fustian and fuss which
is now fomented for immediate effect will
disappear like Yapor. There may be i'm.
placable hangers-on in the Republican party
who will carry their antagonisms into the
election, hut not on account of any third
term objections. 1t Will be for the reason
that they are constant ha,ers of Genera
GRANT, with chronic objection that inter
posed itself with bitterness against second
and bears no reference to the number o
terms that may be rendered to him by hi
countrymen. These are they who opposed
General GRANT in 1872, when he wal
elected for his second term, and who seiz,
the thrd-term question Rs q make-weight
now in behalf of their chronic hostility
which is based upon personal dislike with
out any drapery Of principle. This clasl
Of breyet Republicans are very liable TO e
where they did eight years, and even fou
years, ago-with the Democrats; but no trut
Republican, who adheres TO the party becaus,
of an abiding faith in its principles though
he may have strong personal preferences il
another direction will desert his cause be
cause his party has not consulted and an
swered his wish in the selection of stand
ard-bearer. Hence, if General GRANT shall
be nominated, he will be supported by tn
great mass Of Republicans and more Dem
ocrats than will doubly compensate any
loss that may come from scratchers anC
traitors to the Republican cause to CRAFTY
feeling of personal spite. The question o
third term may he converted into Demo
cratic ammunition, but 1t will find no place
in the Republican armament after the Chi
caEo convention shall have determined thu
question of a candidate. Nothing there
fore, ~ much as this can possibly show tn,
utter hollowness of the third-term objec
ton as it is now urged upon the prelimi
nary CANVASS

The Staunton PoHey Iirginidn takes q
very sensible and very hopeful view Of the
Presidential situation under its present
aspects. Some of the suggestions made in
the following extract are worthy the prayer
full consideration of those who are assailng
General GRANT in the hope of personal
aggrandizement thereby. The Vdiiey Yir-
gilman says:
The extraordinary efforts now being put
forth to create prejudice against the NOM
nation of General GRANT by the Chicago
Convention, and to further the interests Of
Senator BLAINE, will do no harm to the former,
but will have a serious reactionary effect upon
tho latter-named gentleman. We believe Gen
eral GRANT will be the nominee Of the Chi.
cago Convention, and that lie will receive the
nomination by acclamation. II so, he will
be elected by an overwhelming majority. Not
only will the Republican vote OF the country
be cast for him, but that Of large portion of
tho Democratic party, especially in the South.
The Juror and fuss which is being stirred up
about the third term reflects the spite Of a
few political soreheads, akin to the conspira'
tors who attempted similar game in 1872.
Tho American people have confidence in Gen.
eral GRANT, and f his name shall be pre-
seuted to the Chicago Convention for the
Presidential nomination he will receive it,
and'that will be the last that will be heard
of these marplots.

to represent the great State of New
York in the national convention. Common
sagacity and the admonitions of history it
seems to us would have ruled these names
off the list and placed men of triedintegrity
and fidelity of purpose in their stead. In
this case the treachery becomes all the more
apparent for the reason that these delegates
accepted the trust under practiced decep-
ton which led tho friends of General GRANT,
who controlled the convention, and could
easily have kept them of the delegation, to
trust their good faith as adherents to the
cause which that body largely represented.
Under existing circumstances no measure of
sophistry can be brought 10 bear upon this
question which will relieve these recusant
delegates from the legitimate consequences
Of an act of duplicity aud, we may be iusti-
fed in saying downright perfdy--for an
open and deliberate breach of confidence
and fnith is simply perfidious at any time
and this seems to be eminently of that
character in view of all the facts and cir
cumstances that attend the case.
No declaration of personal independence
no measure of Conscientious pretext-no
ingeniously devised parity of reasoning, can
overthrow the simple fact that in accepting
The position of delegates under terms that
were made by the appointing power and
clearly understood, they virtually aeceded 70
those terms, and were politically and NOR
ally bound to represent faithfully the ex-
pressed will OF the convention at Chicago.
Their failure TO obey the instructions of the
convention as they now indicate is breach
of ostensibly plighted faith, without the
slightest excuse that will Justify Or palliate
the grave offense. This is blow at the in
tegrity of the Republican party, for no
party can sustain its principles or its adj
hesive power if men are to declare their
independence of its determinations under
its established usages OIL their own motion.
If it can be done in convention, it can be
practiced in the elections or even in the
Electoral College, and then scratching will
become rs popular and as justifable as
party fidelity. If there is no faith in the
party, then there should be no party.
