What the Third Termers Intend.
New York Sun

1t cannot be complained that the Third
term men at Utica have disguised their pur-
pose in pressing the nomination of Gen.
Grant on the National Republican Con-
vention. That purpose is to seize the Gov
eminent, to take forcible possession of the
office of President in the event that the re-
suit of the election should be in doubt after
it has taken place. The strong point made in
fauor Of Gen. Grant z0ds that after election he
acoULd take possession Of the office.

The Evangelist says one element which en-
tiers largely into a criminal career, at its be-
ginning atany rate, is the spirit of advent
ure which is strong in young men who have
vigor and courage and address. These nat
ural passions, which might be splendidly
utilized, prove a curse by instruction.
There is a good deal of ruffian as well as
rowdy in the yet only halfcivilized
young man of the period, and he should be
dealt with accordingly. Before we can
solve the problem of crime, some new ways
must be devised for enlisting these danger
Gus elements of human nature on the side
of truth, humanity, and virtue. 1t is easy
to say that more courage and chivalry are
required in the daily discharge of duty and
bearing of the cross than in any lawless es-
capade but the unframed and unconsecra-
ted Young man does not see how Christiani-
ty appeals to all that is manifest and most
daring in his heart, and calls on him to
make risks and sacrifices, and to show
heroism that wild life and criminal courses
know nothing of. Until young men are
made to see and feel that religion is robust
and manly thing, which appeals to their
courage and gives the widest scope to their
love of adventure and the latent chivalry of
their souls, one of the reinforcing causes of
crime will remain unchecked"

Mr. Chairman, and Gentlemen Of the Com

l am deeply grateful for this testimonial of

referred to. 1t has ever been my pleasure to fos-
ter the interests of the honest laboriug classes
of nv beloved State-and while my remarks
of yesterday were delivered without rehec-
ton and were prompted by my innate sympa-
thy for our laborlng people. In this connec-

This gentlemen, is appellation of which
| am proud, and when dead, should be glad to
have inscribed upon the stone which may
mark my last resting place.
Mr. Chairman. you were kind enough to say
that you and those whom you represent APP
preciate my services in your behalf the more
because you have differed from me politically
and had no right as partisans to expect such
unselfsh defense Of your interests When |
entered the Senate chamber | took an oath,
not in the name of any party, but in accord
ance with the requirementso of the Constitution
of our State, consequently l never permit
party to enter into my deliberations to the
detriment of the general welfare or to the
prejudice of any individual or class. Parti-
san legislation is the foe of our free institu-
lions; the curse of the age is the oppressor of
the weak, and refuses to recognize thai minor

Again. gentlemen, l thank you for this APP
prevail of my course, and promise that when
the interests of our lahorers are confronted by
those of the moneyed monopolies of the coun
try you shall find me upon the side of labor,
ready to dc battle in your behalf. | desire
that this expression of my grateful thanks
shall be carried to your cOlaborers.
