shows why the earlier Presidents were dc
MED third term, has generally been con-
strued in favor OF Gen. Grants third
candidacy. The Cincinnati Gazette, how
ever, reads it differently, and says: CAL
It's arguments apply more strongly against
changing Presidents now by cutting of
President Hayes with one term, and it is,
however well masked, IN array OF reasons
in favor OF renominating Mr.. Hayes"
When 1t Is remembered how bitterly
hostile Mr.. Howe was to President Hayes,
the Interpretation OF tho Ga:ett, reads
like sarcasm. A President was never
more aercely attacked by member of his
own party than Hayes was by Howe in
his speech delivered in the Senate on the
25th Of March, 1877.

ClarklbuIg News.
The well known PAGER, Grey Dan, lately
the property OF Mr.. Perry Camp, Of the
Commercial, departed this life on satur-
day last at his stables, aged 10. Grey Dan
was an old iavorite in this neighborhood,
and in fact made the race course at the
Fair Grounds. He was matched on
Wheeling Island with Sleepy George and
Copper Bottom, two good horses, and
won three straight heatsin 2:25, 2:259 and
2:27. He also won a race at Fairmont,
which was an exciting and interesting con-
test for purse OF 81, 200, with Bay Harry,
making the time in 2:Sl. He was first
owned by DR.. Hamlon, OF Wellsyille,
Ohio, who sold him to gentleman OF this
county, and from whom Mr.. Camp bought
him. The horse always had many ad.
mirers whenever he appeared on the track
at this place. Dan has made excellent
time in Kentucky, Maryland, Ohio, Vir-
ginia and West Virginia. Mr.. John Grid
Ian, the constant driver Of Dan on all oc-
casions, died In Washington, Pa, in 1870,
and the horse died in 1880 both OF the
same disease. A singular coincidence.
