AN OFF YEAR.

This is going to be an off year. No poll
tical booms for "Plumed Knights" or "Re.
form" will help keep up the health and
strength of the vast multitudes whose faith
is pinned on the glowing party promises of
election year. Multitudes of such will
need II reliable tonic to tone up the system,
a purifier to work off the bad blood, and
sure remedy for lame back rheumatism,
biliousness, etc, Such remedy is Kidney
Wort, 1t has long stood at the head of the
list of kidney remedies, and it receives the
highest praise from all that use it.

GRANTS DECLINATION
AS A CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT IN
1875.
An Interview With Editor CowIes. Who
Received Grants letter Declining
to Accept the Nomination
for a Third Term.

CINCINNATI, Aug. l7-"Gath' in his
special to The Enquirer says he had talk
with Editor Cowle3, of The Cleveland
Leader, in which that gentleman gave him
tue history Of Grants declination OF II third
torn, which was written on May 30 or 81,
1873, and sent to the president of the Penn
syivania Republican state convention, which
had passed. very strong antl-third term reSo-
buttons
Mr.. Cuwles said he called on President
Grant and put before him, as friend, the
reasons which lie thought should deter him
| from letting his name go before the conven-
| ton. which were, i'll short, the opposition5
| which had been made to his candidacy by
the "CGesarism" cry, and which would
probably result in mis- defeat before the con
| vention.
Mr. Cowles then went on: "The president
replied that he was very glad that had
| called ON him, and expressed my views so
| candidly, and that he appreciated the friend
| ship that prompted me to do so. 4 have
| not, he continued, by any act of mine,
| asyou have correctly stated it, placed myself
before the people as a candidate for renomi-
| nation. What has been done was done
spontaneously by my friends But what
appeared to me to be- inconsistent, might
say absurd, is the idea that the people have
not right to elect whoever they please for
president The doctrine has been al
vanced that the people have not right
| to elect president for third
term. There is nothing in the
constitution which forbids the cleo
ton of president for a third term, AMI
! can not understand why such a commotion
should be raised over the matter. The
proper way to settle that question: if it is
| dangerous to elect a third-term president, is
| for congress to amend the constitution de-
filming the limit to which president shall
be elected, say to two terms, if that is most
advisable. But in the absence of such
provision, why make such an ado
over purely imaginary danger
The course | intended to pursue is to pay Nc
attention to the cry started by The New
York Herall, and let the people do AS they
please in the matter. If they should vote
against electing me third term | shall ac-
cept their verdict in proper spsrit. You
