a few of them, but it is not Doubt

to q few OF tDem, nut IL Is not DOUBT
full how the majority Of them will Get.
1t was supposed that Grant would ret
60 votes from Delaware, Maryland,
Tennessee and Mississippi, but now
he can claim hut - OF them. Both
New Hampshire and Wisconsin have
also left him ia the lurch. But perhaps
more disnlay hes been spread among
the anti third termers by the action
of certain New York and pcnnsylva-
MIA delegates than by anything else.
-Four Republican New York senators,
delegates to the Chicago Convention,
Judge Robertson and Messrs. Wood
il, Sessions and Birdsall, have pub
licly announced that they intend to
represent the feeling of their district
by voting for Mr.. Blame. Politicians
in New York are talking about moth
ing else. There has been no such ex-
element in the club rooms Of that
city since 1876. It is said that 80
of New York's 20 delegates will OPP
pose Grants nomination. Neither is
the bolt Of the Pennsylvania delegates
less certain-22 ana perhaps So of
them will also vote for Blaine. All
this is certain to have decided effect
on Illinois.
In summing up the situation, the
New York Sun says:
OF the $50 delegates to Chicago,
600 have now been chosen. Even if
New York and Pennsylvania were TO
bow their necks to the Utica and
Harrisburg yokes and cast their les
votes unanimously for Grant, there
would still be a majority Of A against
him in this aggregate Of 600 delegates.
On the other hand, If all Of these 600
delegates were to vote according to
their W free choice there would be
a majority of at least 125 against him.
There remain to be chosen 156 del
egates, including the % from Michi-
gan and the AZ from Illinois, two
very important States IN the .
In the election Of these 1876 delegates
Grant must meet with better success
than he has in the last two weeks, OF
the third term plot will come to a
timely end at Chicago.
The New York Tribune. Blainc's
organ, assigns OF the 600 delegates
already elected 24l to Blaine, PA to
Grant, 81 to Sherman and the re-
mainder to Edmunds and Washburne,
and assert that their candidate leads.
OF course these statements must be
received with some grains of allow
ance.
The New York boilers, and espec-
tally Senator Robertson, declare that
the last National Republican Conven-
ton decided, that where a state con
vention had instructed its delegates
to vote as q unit, each delegate had
the right to vote his individual pref
erence. With Republicans, that dc
cIsion is final.
Delegates at large may be bound
by such instructions, but 4 district
delegate should represent the wishes
of the Republicans of his district. Ii
these sentiments are acted on oener-
ally, the third term boom will be
badly blOkeE.

From 'ir Jefferson { ny Tribune.
1t is the opinion OF the Jefferson
City Tribune that Secretary OF State
McGrath will be nominated and re-
elected to the place--FuIton Tele-
graph.
The Tribune never said II such
thing. Never believed that Michael
X. McGrath would be his own sue
ccssor. Never desired that he should
be.
Amy Of the gentlemen named for
the position are equally as well quail
lied, and more deserci"g the honor
than the present incumbent.
The history of the State does not
record Il single instance where this
office has been accorded to the same
person for more than two terms, and
it is not at all likely that this unwrit-
ten law Of the democracy of Missouri
will he disregarded in the case Of Mr..
McGrath.
We have een the paragraph from
the Fulton Telegraph, quoted above,
in several of our exchanges, and
world respectfully request that they
make the correction.

C~OHfcutlOu duu upon tie
platform, among other utterances,
that gentleman spoke as follows:
this convention is here to voice
forth, not only for itself but for the
majority of voters of the United
States, an opposition to the heresy
of a third term. No man is good
enough to be a third time President
of the United States in view of the
unselfish and patriotic example of the
founder of it. Applause.
We are here to warn the managers
of this movement that they shall not
commit the great Republican party
to the signing of its own death war;
rant. We are here as Republicans to
solemnly declare that we are opposed
to a third term for any man. AS a
citizen of Illinois 1 am unalterably
opposed above all to the nomination
Of Gen. U. 5. Grant Look at the
Republican party throughout the
country to-day; where do you find
the strength of the third term! In
the States of Illinois, of Wisconsin.
of Iowa, of Massachusetts and of all
glorious New England? They are
either silent upon the subject or are
engaged in q deadly and supreme
contest for the purpose of throttling
that heresy in its very inception.
South Carolina illustrated during
the administration of Senator Patter-
son some of the beauties we may have
to see under a third term. The State
of South Carolina, which stands to.
day, according to the testimony of
General Grant himself, erect and re-
constructed, according to the words
of Senator Patterson, was given yer
to thieves and scoundrels. who prey
ed upon the very vitals of the people.
Patterson made his boast during the
last days of Grants administration
that he hoped there would be no in
reference with the Republican. policy

Dubois county is entitled to . joint
representative with Martin, and another
with Pike.
The Pike County Democrat under
stands that Dubois Is entitled to the rep
resentative between herself and Martin;
and Pike to the representative between
herself and Dubois.
The understanding Of the Democrat
is beyond the understanding OF fair
minded men. dubois Is fairly repre-
sented by Senator w. A. Traylor. very
competent gentleman, and needs no other
representative. In q proper spirit OF
courtesy, Dubois permits her sister coun-
ties Of Pike and Martin to designate
representative each. The right, there
fore Of Martin to nominate representa-
tive, rests on the same basis as that OF
Pike.--Martin County Herald.
The Democrat and Herald are both
little "off" on the Representative ques-
tion, probably misled by unreliable ad-
vices. We informed the Chairmen Of
the Democratic Committees in both coun-
ties some time ago that the Dubois De-
mocracy proposed to have say in
the choice Of candidates. Some of our
Democrats are disposed, in certain con-
tingencies, to put Dubois county men in
nomination for both positions, and our
County Convention, bya very decisive
vote. declared their intention not to per-
NIT either of the other counties, exclu-
lsively..t ito nominate the candidates. A
proper spirit of courtesy as the Herald
puts II. will. however, probably induce
our delegation in the District Conven-
Itions to vote for residents Of the other
counties as candidates, provided No. !
men, against whom no objection can be
had, are brought before the Conventions.
but 1T MUST BE UNDERSTOOD that in the
! Convention there will be fair show for
lall aspirants for the honors. This is un-
J. lquestionably right, rs the man chosen
$ sIwill be as much Representative from
Dubois as from the other county, and
1--we apprehend Senator Traylor will re-
, lpel the insinuation that he represents ia
!. the Senate, Dubois only, and not Martin
!. as well. We are glad the absurd prac-
'.tice Of endorsing candidate Of another
county is dead, and its carcass buried
i We are responsible as electors for ths
character and actions Of our Represen
y tative, and our county will be estimated
TO certain extent, by strangers, by his
|. mental calibre, and we should certainly
have & voice in naming the man, though
lhe may live in another county.

SESAToR TRArLoB in his speech at
Jasper last Saturday. was mistaken in
his statement that Pike county lacks
l,l0O votes OF being entitled TO Repre-
sentative. Pike county polls over 3,600
votes, and consequently does not fall a.
far short OF the mathematical number as
some other counties that have separate
Representatives. In fact without divi-
ding up counties, the apportionment can
not be 50 made as TO give every section
just 4.010 voters one Repre-
sentative. Some districts must, in the
very nature Of things, run little under,
wh,ie others rl.r over that number. BY
Including one sownship Cor part Of one
|or two) Of Dubois with the whole OF
Pike, Q district including just 4,0i0
voters might have beeI constructed, but
such proceeding would have been alb
Isurd. The object should have been to
lapportion the districts as fairly as prac-
ltical. and had that been done Pike
Icounty would have her own Represen-
tative to-day Pike County Democrat.
We find by reference to the Secretary
Of States report that Pike county poIIed
in 1876, the vote upon which the appor'
tionment was made, $3.50 votes, and il
1879. 3,4o3 votes. The total enumeration
Of votes in the State In 1877. was 45l 02s
making the basis necessary for Repre-
sent ativc 4,5l0 "a mistake in the Demo
