GROWING OPPOSITION TO THE THIRD

GROWING oPPosITIoN TO THE THIRD
TERM MOVEMENT.
WARRINGTON, May 2, 1880.
One Of the most prominent of the re-
publican Senators, aud one who has
been known as friendly TO the ex-Pres j.
| dent, said to-day TO . friend:
81 am now convinced that if we
| nominate the ex-Prrsident there will be
| split in the party. The anti-lhird
term republicans will in that event be
sure to put candidate in the fed. Ii
the democrats nominate Tilden, as now
seems probable, who knows but oppo
nents Of both the ex President aud Til
den will form coalition and unite up
oil a Candidate that will he more accept
able to the people than either :? ! weuld
NOT be surprised to see both Of the great
parties go under this year. There are
so many dissatisfied republicans and
democrats that the time is ripe for. a
strong third party organization. 1 am
not alone in the opinion that the nomi
nation Of the ex President means the
death OF the republican party. have
heard many leading men in the organl-
zation express the same view. / think
that when the Chicago Convention as
sembles this fact will have become SO
apparent that the nomination OF The ex-
President will not be seriously consid-
cred"
AR. COMBINES TALK.
The conyenraiion of Mr.. ConklinR on
the political situation, published in the
HERALD on Saturda", has created a
profound i'm mpression here and is much
talked Of. The general belief about 1t
seems to be that Mr.. Conklin. sp Ike
becaus he is alarmed at the evident and
growing dislike 10 the third term move
nent here and among the local patty
managers at home, and thought Il ne
cessary to encourage them. 1t is all un-
deniahle fact, rs stated by your cores
pondent on Saturday, that the belief
that the ex-President cannot be elected
il nominated is rapidly growing here,
aud it has for its basis, as above stated,
the reports of political managers to their
members of Congress. An unusually
large number of republican Representa-
tlves hold their seats Ia this Congress
by pluralities or very slight maiorities,
and these men are naturally alarmed at
tie prospect of q nomination at hicago
which would hazard their seats.
