Why Not Create an OMce-Ho1ding
Aristocracy?

To THE PEOPLE OF OHIO:
why should the good service of two
terms make candidate Objectionable
for a third term? Is it not rather rec
ommendation? Has any man magnified
the Office more than the present incum-
bent?"-Ohio State journal.
The three questions embodied in the
above paragraph 1 shall endeavor to an
,swer in their order.
l. President Hayes in his letter of
acceptance struck the exact truth when
he said ''the restoration of the civil
service to the system established by
Washington and followed by the early
Presidents, can be best accomplished by
an executive who Is under no tempta-
tion to use the patronage of his Office to
promote his reelection" The people,
however, against what is evidently their
best interest, have conceded to fair Of
ficer two consecutive terms, but this has
as the extreme limit No President, and
no Governor of Ohio, has been permitted
to break this record. Hayes, it is true,
held the gubernatorial Office for three
terms, but not for three terms in success
sion; when nominated the last time he
neither sought the place nor had one of
his old appointees in Office to seek it for
him. The element of patronage, there.
fore, had nothing whatever to do with
his selection. 1t was to all intents and
purposes new deal.
A good man, whether serving as Pres
ident or Governor, should be satisfied
with two terms, for, If he happens to be
as wise as he is good, he must know that
by the destruction of this limit prece-
dent would be established which bad
men might urge to the injury of the
public service. In fact, If the limit
were once broken, we might with GER
tainty look forward to the beginning of
a series of struggles among ambitious
men to determine which of them could
hold the place for the greatest number
of terms. In these struggles the whole
power and patronage of the executive
Office would not only be brought into
requisition, but the administrat ton of
public affairs would be subordinated to
personal ambitious and private ends,
and the money wrung from the tax payer
diverted from legitimate channels, and
in part used to advance the fortunes of
party chieftains. Then we should find
in sheets like the Ohio State journal
tngeniously constructed questions like
that above quoted, to-wit:
WAY should the good service of
twenty terms make a candidate object
tonab1e for twentyfirst?"
The sincere and unselfish citizen is at
all times ready to make sacrifices for
the common veal. He knows that a
wise usage, like sound law, should al
ways be observed. His patriotism will
not permit his ambition to trample upon
wholesome precedents, and he has sense
enough withal to knew that if the peo-
pie cut the bad man off with one
term, they can. sufficiently emphasize
their appreciation of the good one by
two.
2. Good service in the executive
Office is just what the people of the State
have a right to expect. They should be
satisfied with nothing less. The man
who renders this sort of service simply
does his duty-what he promises under
oath to do, and what he is paid for do

TERM.

Ghosts That Now Rise to Confuse Him.
is Foraker Greater Than Grant That
Hc Should Have a Third Term?
Cincinnati Commercial May 1880:
"We go further and say that, not only
is it clear in our Judgment that the
third-term party would be defeated, but
that they ought to be beaten, and must
be at all haza rds, no matter who else are
winners
Cincinnati Commercial, May 4, 1880:
People who say Grant carried Ohio in
1872, and that he can do it again, forget
that Grant wasn't running for third
term in 1872, and that the record of his
second term was not before the public"
Cincinnati Commercial, May 4, 1880;
''If there is a third-term' party after
the Chicago Convention, it will be hit
in the nose by Ohio in the next October
election. This is a fact that the conspir-
ators might as we'll digest"
Mr.. Halstead wrote as follows in 1880:
'"The great name is that of Grant. His
fame Is of use to the Bosses, simply to
fool the people who are fond of feathers
He has been tried as President, and
public plunderers reposed under his
august shadow. lie knew little of po-
litical principles, and cared nothing for
public morality"
The Cincinnati Commercial of MAY 8,
1880, prints and indorsed letter written
by Fred Hassaurek, the distinguished
editor at that time of the Cincinnati
Volllsblatt, to the organizers of the anti
third-term demonstration at st. Louis
TIE letter is dated May l, 1850, and con-
tains the following utterances:. 1T is
needless for me to say that 1 am fully in
accord with the object of your conven-
ton. l am opposed to the nomination of
General Grant or any other candidate for
O third term. 1t has be-
come fashionable, in some circles, to
sneer at the opposition to third term
as a superstition. Under this supersti-
ton, however, our institutions have been
strengthened and preserved. With this
superstition our country has become
great and remained free. If it be super
stition to cherish a proper reverence for
the teachings and example of the
fathers of the Republic, 1 can only say
let this superstition be maintained

sufficient for an outfeld. Work was begun on
the new grounds on Monday morning last, and
by next Saturday night the new grand stand

the quickest constructed ball grounds that has
probably ever been built. 1t Is located under a
bluff, some 200 feet high, and there can be no
fear from the early spring and late fall cold
winds. In fact there can be no fear from the
wind at all. for there is no way for the wind to
get down to the ball field.
While the work is being pushed on the new
grounds the team is in the West in badly
crippled condition. still they are battling for
victory for all they are worth. 1t Is generally
the New Yorks way of playing ball. When
all the men are in condition, they seem to
take IL for granted that they must win, but
when about one-half of the men are laid up,
many madmen and knock the cover of the ball.
That is the way they did in Chicago, and that
is why they won so many games as they did.
Buck Ewing is of the opinion that the Fourth
OF July will see the most critical point of the
season past, and that il the New YorkS can win
two games on that day, there will be no cause
for complaint. 1t is quite plain that Buck is
out for the dust this season, or he would never
risk being injured by going in. to catch Crane,
as he did in Chicago. It has always been the
opinion in this city that Buck was af aid to
handle Cranes curves. but this idea m1st now
be cast aside. 1t has long been well-known
fact that Back was the leading man on the
the League championship. All New York
have their eyes on the Boston team, but no one
seems to be much afraid of the Bean-eaters,
for they are considered lot of cutters.
