 The Ant1-Third Term Conve ntion.
 ST. LoUIs May 6.-The aati-third term convention was called to order in Masonic Hall at 1:3O p. m. by ex-senstor John B. Henderson, chairman Of the executive con- naittee, who at oncs named E. 0. Hubbard of Kentucky, ss temporary chairman. The delegates proper to the convention were com parstively few, and no one of special proni- hence or political influence was present. Colonel Gilbert, of Iowa, was sisotsd tempo rary secretary. Mir. Hubbard, h taking the chair, made brief speech, which was well received. On motion a committee of eleven on permanent organization was appointed by the chairman. During the absence of the committee to prepare their report Hon. Bluford D. Wilson, of Illinois, was called for 8 speech and responded briefly and greatly to the satisfaction of the convention. The committee on organization reported Ex-Senator John B. Henderson, of Missouri, for permanent chairman and about a dozen vice presidents, and Colonel Gilbert, of Iowa, for secretary with four assistants. A lengthy platform was adopted opposing the third term principle with preamble setting forth the belief that this convention represented mi nority of the Republican voters of the Uni ted States, and for this reason assembled to express their convictions. They affirm their devotion to the Republican party, and in view of present exigencies especially reaffirm the declaration of the State Republican con- ventions which opposed the third term. The nomination of Q third term candidate would put the Republican party on the ds- fensive, and therefore should be deprecated. It would revive the memory of public scandal and official corruption which brought the party to the very verge of ruin, and would again alienate large and powerful body of voters, without whose aid success Is neither possible nor to be desired. While in the character and surroundings of the third term candidate no guarantee is found against thsir recurrence, but rather 6 renewed menace. It was resolved that national committee of one hundred be appointed and instructed in the event of the nomination of Grant to meet at New York at the call of the chairman and there act in such manner ss they shall desm best. A committee of thirteen was then ap- pointed with Luoien Eaton as chairman, who was authorized to appoint committee of five to place before the Chicago convention the proceedings of today. Three cheers were given for the anti-third term party, and the convention adjourned.
