ANTI-THIRD TERM.
The Anti-Grant Convention
The Boom Rooms.

st. Louis, The anti-third term ma
tional convention was called to order Al
y 80, by General Henderson, who called
10 the chair Mr.. E. G. hubbards, of Ken
lucky, q delegate to the Chicago conVen-
ton, who, in his thanks for the honor
conferred, declared in beha of the con-
vention that it was possible for thssre-
publican party to nominate the next
| president, ard that the safety of the re-
public demand d that republicans should
! remain in charge of the natl MS affairs.
! He alluded to the existence of the belief,
which a section of the party effected
10 hold, that the third term candidate
WAS necessary, and asserts1 that this
meeting called to combat that i6ea, repre-
sented the larger part of the republican
party than will again or has ever before
g nvened. The chief point 10 which this
convention was directed was host lily 10
any movement tending in the least degree
TO the Enlistment of monsrchy The
remarks that there were here no private
axes 10 grind, that there was no cAndi-
date 10 be brought forward for the presi-
dency, elected hearty and continued ap-
plause. The man who, to-day, Is can
vassInR for votes for second Tenomins-
ton, was the least fitted by nature or
educati n for the Office which he seeks
Two terms Of his administration, which
had failed to suppress or diminish dis
honesty in the IA ions affairs, had con-
WINGED the couotry of this fact, and had
left it FIR the time a declared question
whether dishonesty was not inhe ent in
the party which supported that admins
tration. For himself, he was a stalwart
repu blican, but he believes the day the |
republican party commits itself 20 a |
third term, that day it signs It's |
own death warrant He believed the |
Chicago convent would place in |
nomination man above reproach, who |
would Lad the patty 10 victory and
bring safety 10 the nation. 1t was the
hope of every man here that the third
term idea would to-day receive a blow
which would kill it forever.
Col. Gulbert, of Iowa, was elected
secretary. TIE chair then appointed the
committee on organization: @.
G. Wharton, ID. A. Finkleburg, G. w.
VIM. 3. Clarke, S. A. Archer,
L. w. Fox, w. II. Jones, L. w. Rry-
ant, NJ. L. Bryant, Carl Roehl and Mr..
Hunt.
Col. Blufor Wilson, of Illinois, made
a speech, in which he declared unwaver-
ing hostility to the violation of the prece-
dent set by the father of his country
against third term, a precedent which
had long been recognized as a common
unwritten law of the party. Where do
you find the third term supporters? In
in Iowa, IN Hit ois, in New
states? These states are silent as
TO the Enforcement of the third term
prime pie. In South Carolina, which
represents the most depTayed political
idea, in Alabama, in other southern
states where there is DO shadow of hope
that there will be a single electoral vote
for republican candidates, the voice is
raised for a third term.

zstion reported as follows, and the report
