pends, and that is if the Republicans o
Ohio do not fairly and fully, in the con
vention, express a preference for me
s and support me with substantial unani
nifty in, the National Convention, m,
name will not be presented tothat con
vention with my consent" What effec
does Mr.. Sherman expect this to have?
In some parts of the country tn
Democratic party is weakened by dis
sension. But how is it with the Re
publican party? Grant is the choice o
the Republican machine, but can an
one believe that he is the choice of tn
majority of the Republican voters? Tn
hostility of the people to the third teri
scheme will smash the Republican part

term in order to correct the mistakes o
his two former ones. Then why NO
nominate Hayes. He has only the mil
takes of one term to correct, and hi
nomination will not set third term pre-
cedent. He has as much right to correc
: his mistakes as Grant. Those who adv(
