why Van Buren,, Polk, Pierce or Buch-
anan should not have been reelected.
If Garfield had lived he would probably
have been renominated and reelected
in 1884, and if Blaine had been elected
in 1884 he would doubtless have been
renominated in 1888. The opposition to

purely fanciful. 1t does not represent
any principle. A proposed amendment
To the Constitution prohibiting a second
term would represent a principle, but
while the Constitution remains as it is
there can be no good reasO given for
opposing q second term. The idea
originates with those who want a new

POLITICAL NOTE AND COMMENT.

GEN. w. j. SEwELL, of New Jersey, Is q
strong advocate of Harrison's renpmina-
ton. although he was for sixteen years a
supporter of Mr.. Blaine.
Ii is now stated that the Alger men have
moderated their am bItion and that Alger
will be content if there is an understand-
ing that be will be made Secretary OF War
in case Blaine is elected.
PRESIDENT HARRISON was nominated on
the eighth ballot in 1888. receiving 416
votes. This year, says the Kansas City
Journal. he will. In all probability. be
nominated upon the first ballot, receiving
practically all the votes.
ANTI-HARRIsoN leaders view with some
apprehension the speech-making opporrun-
tiles President Harrison will have between
now and Tuesday. during the holiday lull

A ST. ALBANs dispatch to the Boston
Journal says the Vermont delegation will
undoubtedly cast its eight votes for HarrI-
son. Vermont voted as a unit for Ed
munds and Garfield in 1880, for Edmunds
in 1Ss4 and for Harrison i'll 1888. The eight
votes cast by the Vermont delegation,
through Hon. Redtioid Proctor. for Harri-
son in 1883 had no little influence in de-
termining the final result of the ballOting.
ACCORDING to Washington dispatches
the anti Harrison leaders talk Blaine as
confidently as ever when they are talking
for publication. but privately some of them
are admitting that the prospects of seaur-
ing Blaine a nomination such as he nrn
take are not as good as they thought they
were. and that at the same time they have
not al yet succeeded In getting Blaine to
say that he will take any nomination.
They all realize that they began the STAN

difficult now to surprise the old campaign

THE S%ECOND-TBRM SPOOK.

The opposition to a second presiden-
tial term is of comparatively recent
origin. All of our Presidents from
Washington to Jackson were reelected,
except two, and they were candidates
for reelection. Washington, jefferson,
Madison, Monroe and Jackson were all
reelected. John Adams was a candi-
date before the Electoral College four
times-in 1889. in 1902. 1896 and in 1900.
He was elected in 1876. There were no
nominating conventions in those days.
Thomas Jefferson was a candidate four
times and elected twice. John Quincy
Adams was a candidate three times and
elected once. Andrew jackson was the

attempt at Minneapolis to monkey"

coinage of silver, except under such
conditions as will insure the parity of
silver and gold dollars. There must be-.
