NOTABLE VIEWS OF GRANT.

Third Term.
FROM GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

FHOA 0EohdE WILLIAM COniAo'
The nomination would certainly
be inexpedient--in my judgment the
I'D ost inexpedient that the party could
make. 1t would provoke the resist
ance--passive resistance, at least-of
large and powerful class Of Repub-
licans whose cooperation has been
demonstrated to be essential to the
party's success next year. These
voters are the independent voters,
the men Hho strive for purity and
patriotism in politics, the men whose
votes are cast by conscience, the men
who are against the machine and do
not need organization. Their mum
Der is mainly due to u growing dis
like of the very practices thar Oh
tanned during Grants administrations
and which they are thoroughly de-
termined to continually oppose and
eventually defeat. These voters are
readers and thinkers and are sincere.
They have enough strength COMBINED
to carry the State for the Republi-
cans even against the united Democ-
racy. But, to secure their votes, the
Larty nominations must not be ma
chine nominations. Grants repom-
ination would, / believe, antagonize
this element and render Republican
success in this State very difficult, if
not altogether impossible. The par
ty managers should see this and
avoid so inexpedient a nomination.
There caR 5e no doubt that great
body of the very best Republicans
have deep and ineradicable feeling
against a third term. 50 strong and
general is this feeling that it has Gre
ated custom against third terms.
This custom of hundred years is
one of the unwritten laws Of the land,
and is as strong as any part of the
British institutions. 1t is cherished
as sacred by our people, who look
upon it as one of the unwritten safe
guards Of the Constitution, aud be-
cause it is unwritten any attempt to
violate il would probably be met by
u more stubborn resistance than even
an attempt to break down part Of the
written law. 1t cannot he denied
that the feeling against third terms
is deep and wholesome. There is no
reason at present for trying to over
throw it. Grants election is not
necessary. 1t is not sought on any
good grounds of public policy. 1t
is not urged to accomplish any needed
national object. 1t is not suggested
as means to secure any desirable
thing which cannot be just as well
secured by the election of any other
nominee. There is, in fact, neither
reason nor occasion for it. There
being no necessity for his election
again; there being, indeed, no good
reason at all for it, why, to accomp-
lish it, should a wise. wholesome,
patriotic custom, made law by the
veneratlon of hundred years and
regarded as one of the unwritten safe
guards of the peoples liberty, lie dis
turbed and destroyed?

"Do you believe Grant desires a

"If he didn't he would have long
ago said that he didn't. 1t has not
been quite honorable of him to &C.
cept all these ovations and allow
them to be turned TO his political ac-
count. If he is after the renomina
ton aud had allowed the truth 10 he
known he would have met silent
contempt instead of public feastln2.
"Of one thing l am convinced:
Grant won't accept the nomination
unless he is persuaded that it results
from unanimous public desire for
his e-election. To get it under
such circumstances would be fattery
beyond comparison, and would make
him feel sure Of the consequences.
Part of his desire In this respect prob
ally arises from patriotism, and most
of it certainly is due to personal
vanity that dares not compromise IT.
self by taking any risks.
l believe the desire for such a
thing is quite limited and that it is
liveliest among those demagogues
who would like to use Grant. These
may deceive him, who, believing that
the great public wish his renomina-
ton, and induce him to take it.
"Grant would be overwhelmingly
defeated. The people would bury
him as politician out Of sight.
They would not stand the impudence,
the audacious impudence of the move
ment. and would put decisive ter.
mination 10 it.
Every American who gives seri-
Gus attention to the affairs Of his
country and who respects himself
with an intelligent respect would
vote against him. He would be sup.
ported by leaders and followers

fairs OF this country, If 1t were pos
sibe for them to attain that, would

add nothing to his reputation, while
to refuse it would. But it 10 well

position that Grant would he in to
