EDlron Gowns, q The Cleveland Leader,

EpIToR cowLss, Of the Cleveland Leader,
tells "Gath'. how President Grant came to
write his letter declining a third term.
Mr.. Cowles, suggested it and found that
the same thought was in Grants mind.
But the New York Herald, and the OUT
and.out Democratic newspapers following
its lead, had. made such a howl about
Casarism and imperialism that Grant did
not wish to appear to have been driven.
The truth about the third term move

Grant v ould have been pleasedtobe asked
to accept atother term; that he had done
nothing to bring that about; and that
some Of his enthusiastic friends, among
them those who helped to cast discredit
upon his administration, were bending
every energy to secure his denomination.
