Third Term Repudiated.

The disastrous results Of 1874. brought
about by the unwise attempt to force
people to submit to third term for Gen.
Grant, compelled the republican party in
many states to take the back track in
1875 on the third term question. Penn
sylvania led off with this resolution at
her state convention held May s, at Lam
caster:
Resolved, That we declare a firm and
law OF the republic, which wisely. and un-
examples, limits the presidential service
republicans of Pennsylvania, in recogni-
ton Of this law, are unalterably opposed
to the election to the presidency Of any
person for q third term"
The New York republicans in 1875 in
state convention resolved:
That we declare an unalterable oppo-
stion to the election Of any President
for a third term
The Massachusetts, republicans resolved
in 1875:
THAT sound reason as we'll as the wise
and broken usage Of the republic, IL
Illustrated by the example Of Washington,
requires that the term OF the chief mag
istrate of the United States should not
exceed a second term"
In 1875 the Ohio republicans resolved:
THAT the observance of Washington's
example, in retiring at the close of a
second presidential term. will be in the
future, as ithas been in the past, regard
ed as a fundamental rule in the unwritten

ban ON THIRD Term
Records Show People irrevo-

PROVED IN GRANTS CASE
Support Led to Widespread Defeat
of Republicans in 1874.
TAFT BUREAU GIVES FIGURES
Democratic Landslide at That Time
Held to Indicate Attitude of
Country on Question.
TAFT BUREAU GIVES FIGURES

From Taft headquarters here there has
been issued the following argument
against a third presidential term:
That the American people are irrevo-
cably opposed to third term Of the pres
idency is evidenced by facts of COM
paratively recent occurrence, which dem
onstrate clearly that the trend Of public
opinion on this important matter IS I'M
mistakable. and the Interpretation is as
plain as anything could possibly be.
A third term agitation for Gen Grant
began almost Immediately upon his cleo
ton to a second term of the presidency
It started in New York, in which state
the friends Of Grant, in control Of all the
government offices, led by United States
Senator Roscoe Conkling, adopted this
declaration written by Conkling:
Resolved, That the administration of
Gen. Grant has been distinguished for
achievements in domestic and foreign pol
icy unsurpassed in the history of the
country"
Gen. John A. Dix had been elected
Governor of New York in 1872 by 51.S25
republican plurality. AS chief execu-
tive of the state he served the people
with great ability. integrity and patrio-
tism. Senator Conkling believed that the
commanding prestige of Gov. Dix would
result in his reelection in 1874 by an
increased majority over that of 1872, even
third term, thereby securely gaining the
first point in the third term conspiracy.
The patriotic Gen. Dix was accordingly
renominated

Republican Victories Follow.

Under this resolution Gen. Hayes de-
feated Gov. Allen for governor Of that
state in 1915. Similar resolutions were
passed by republicans in other states in
their conventions. and the results were
|of the most gratifying character. In
Massachusetts the democratic pluralityNof
the year previous was overcome and a
republican governor elected by a large
plurality In New York the republican
gain was 35,5O7. In Ohio the democratic
plurality Of 1902 cast in 1874 was over
come by a republican plurality Of 5.544.
The advocacy Of a third term for Gen.
Grant in 1874 resulted in the election of
but ten republican and seventeen demo-
cratic congressman from Pennsylvania at
the election of that year. Two years
later, with the republican party commit
ted against a third term, the republicans
of Pennsylvania elected seventeen con-
gressmen and the democrats but ten
members.
At the election held in Pennsylvania
in 1875 the "unalterable opposition to
the presidency of any person for a
third term not only resulted In over
coming the democratic plurality OF H.
679 given the year before, but it OBJ
tanned a large plurality for the candi-
dates of the republican party.

but on the issue of a third term. rs
presented in 1874. that great plurality
was obtained instead Of 1000, q change
Of $4,000 votes in these seven states
alone. The same ratio OF republican
losses and democratic gains applied to
almost every state in the Union during
that movement to bring about a third
term Of the presidency for Grant. |

Sentiments Of the House.

The loss of nearly all of the northern
states by the republicans in 1874, ow-
ing to their Endorsement of Gen. Grant
for third term, and in the declara-
ton in 1875 that there should be no
third term of the presidency-these
same states all being carried by the
republicans-led to the passage of the
following resolution in the National
House Of Representatives, Decent per Is.
1875, by vote Of 233 to IS against it;
Resolved, That in the opision Of this
House the precedent established by
Washington and other Presidents OF
the United States, in retiring from the
presidential office after their second
term, has become, by universal con-
currence, part of our republican sys-
| tenn of government, and that any de-
partyre from this time-honored custom
would be unwise, unpatriotic and
| fraught with peril to our free fnstitu-
TONS"

Warning of Thurlow Weed.

Thurlow Weed told Gen. Dix that he
must positively prohibit the passage Of
any resolution indorsing Grants admins
tration: that such a resolution would be
fatal to his success at the general cleo
ton. and he said: If they persist in pass
ing 1t you must tell them to get some one
else as their candidate for governor" II
the Tribune did not openly concur in what
the venerable and sagacious Weed had
said, its distinguished editor, Whitelaw
Reid, personally expressed similar views
to Gen. Dix.
A few weeks later the liberal repub-
hcans Of New York met in convention,
and although they made no nominations,
under the inspiration Of former Gov. Fen
ton, Gen. Merritt, Mr.. Littlejohn, Mr..
Dorsheimer, Charles j.. Hughes. DR..
Swinburne. Fred Conkling, Gen. Cochrane
and others, they resolved:
THAT we declare our uncompromising
hostility to any pretensions toward per-
petuating power in the hands OF the same
person beyond second term: such pre-
tentions deserve and should receive the
indignant condemnation OF the people,"
| A week or two later the democrats met
| in convention and declared
1.-THE presidency Of the United States Is
public trust, not a private perquisite,
and there should be no third term of It. !"
