The resolution for tho allotment of tfmo

fore the Convention, rs originally offered,
provided That tho contestants might appear

OF tho State-soyerctgnty doctrine to Re-
publican National Convention. Gen. Logau.

dcrstnntltng. and pretended that tho ca'se Of
tho bogus Illinois Delegates would not suffer
from SO accomplished m opponent
This opinion, which did not appear to DO
especially sincere lit Con. Logan's asser-
ton, was evidently not shared by tho fac
tlon to which "tlle gentleman from Illi-
nois :" belongs; for, upon n subsequent
amendment ruling out counsel and thus pre-.
venting Col. Ingcrsoll's appearance, tho
thirtl-termers failed consptcuously to vote
agatnst tho amendment.
1t should be statcsl TINT Col. 1ngersoll Ind

to avail himself Of that privilege Oil the
ground TINT tho friends Of the bogus dele-
gates would Charge It WIS trick. AS
mattor of fnct, his exclusion seemed to be
tho trick, rs tho refusal to hear counsel OUT

In tho meantime, Gen. Lognn, in the pro-
tense OF discussing tho question Of timo
to be nllottod to the contest, consumed
wllolo hour In arguing the case for
his bogus delegates. When. III the
last moments Of tile discussion, Mr..

PRESIDENTIAL TERN OF SIX YEARS
The Republican Convention has encoun-
tered for tho first time In the history Of tho
party n disturbing question In the shape of
nh objection to nominating o candidnte for
clcct1Rt, to tho Presidency for a third tern.
There Is nothing In the actnnl letter OF the
Constitution limiting the number Of terms 10
which any person may be elected to tho
Presidency, but tho uniform custom, and tho
precedent established by Washington, has
passed Into law even more binding upon tho
popular Judgment than any written law.
It Is not likely that this question will ever
nriso In our politics again. Gen. Grant IS the
only person now living who las held the Of
fee during two torlns, a1ld for the quarter Of
century preceding the Wnr n single term
| liaal become tho practlce. Gen. jackson loft
| tho oiIlco in 1887, and WIS followed BY Van
Buron, Harrison, Polk, Taylor, Pierce and
| Buchanan, each elected only for single
term. II Is true Gems. Harrison nrd Taylor
died in office, but 1t Is not likely that either
would have been reelected, MS In both
cnscs there WIS n cllnnge Of political
minority Mt tho succeeding elections.
! Lincoln was reelected. but tho reasons for 1t
| were overpowerIng. Tho War wns not closed
when tho tlino came to elect 4 President In
