NEW T 0KK, Nov. 1a-The New York Tribune
has ut Inst seen proper TO reply to the criticisms
ehnt have within the past week been passed
upon its publication of current gossip Ut Wash

met which President Arthur would prob. bly,
select. and calling especial attention to the tact
that all the names mentioned were OF men idcn-
titled with the "third-ter1n" movement nf last

peurs. were extremely dlstastetul to the ..thIrd-
term advocates, aud to no one more so than
Gen. Grant, who took occasion to pronounce
the entire matter base fabrication. for
the reason that the gossip coupled his name
with the alleged movement to secure appoint
ments for several Of his old friends.
GEN. GRANT
at once and publicly attributed the inform ton
upon WHICH the article WIS based to Mr.. Blaine,
and saw in the fnct thar that gentleman was
stopping ut the Fifth Avenue Hotel ou tho day
when the publication appeared conclusive proof
that it was Inspired from that. SOURCE The
