A VOTE FOR DIX VOTE AGAINST THIRD TERM


GOV. DIX AND THE PRESIDENCY.


To the Editor OF The Tribune.


SIR: have read, with much interest "The
Views Of Man not In Politics In tOdays issue, and
while agree with him entirely as to the importance OF
the third term question. and the necessity OF counter
acting the movement Of the politicians and
oHceholders its favor propose to accomplish 1t by
voting for Dix, for tho following reasons


l. Grant was renominaed In 1872 because the oppos-
ton to him in the Republican party was divided among
a number Of candidates. one OF whom was prominent
enough the others yield to- for the mass OF the
party to gather around and In my opinion the greatest
danger Of the third movement being successful lies
In the same state OF affairs existing In 1876


H. Gov Dix was not the first choice OF the politicians
who control the party but his administration has proved
so emnenty satisfactory the great Of the people
of the State that they compelled to renominae
him. and reserve their preferences for some more
safe occasion. He ran ahead OF MS ucket
in 1872 but l think 1t safe to predct
that he will distance himself this Fall know num-
Der beside SELF who did not vote for him before VINO
will vote for him this time, whatever they may oo on
the rest of the ticket His administration, character
lied as 1t has been by dignity, integrity and signal
ability has been refreshing in these days OF corrup'
ton and mediocrity in high places that 1t mas drawn
the attention of the country to his character and execu
tive ability. His early training as Democrat can
leave no question as his position on the third term
question; record in the war Is as good as could be
desired, and if he should prove to be personally
very strong with the voters of the State of NewYork
why would he not most available candidate for the
dissatisfied elements Of the Republican and Democratic
parties to crystalline aroundi Only show that he s
popular enough, and the party managers will be COM
PEELED to nominate him for President in 1876, as they
have now for reelection to his present position.


Ill In order to carry out this plan as efectuay as
possible 1t will be necessary either to vote the Demo
cratic ticket for the other State officers or to vote
for Dix alone and scratch the rest Of the ticket.
If the entire Republican ticket is voted,
it will without doubt be considered by the party man.
ayers and the organs Endorsement Of the platform
Including of course what was left out as much as
what was put into itand in this way would not help Dix
in the slightest while vote for Dix and for the Demo-
cratic candidates for the rest Of the State ticket
would be an Endorsement OF Dix and also OF the Demo-
cratic PLATFORM confessedy the better Of the two But
if any are not ready yet to touch anything that at oil
savors Of Democracy, they may accomplish nearly the
same results and their prejudces by voting only
for Dix and scratching the rest of the State ticket

Crushed wheat, or q flour made OF
wheat without boiling, is likewise very
grateful and healthful.


The ordinary process OF maxine super
fine flour results in the loss OF most nutri-
tious portion OF the wheat. Under the
microscope, grain of wheat divides into
three principal layers-the hull. or bran
proper which is not nutritious the gluten,
which lies next within the hull. and which
is the most nutritious part OF the grain /;
and the starch. from which the ordinary
wheat -four is made. Usually the gluten
is removed with the bran in the ordinary
process.


The public is rapidly learning to under.
stand and appreciate the important truths
contained in the above statement OF DR..
Lewis. The popularity OF prime white
wheat, properly manufactured. with all
OF its nourishing elements retained, is last

with considerable force, looking at it from
his standpoint. Mr.. Ellis or Mr.. Whitaker
will come next. and probably Mr.. Bryon
will make short speech. Thus it will be
seen that the district attorney must con-
tend with an array of legal talent quite
formidable. In finishing it is expected that
he will make the best effort of his life at the
bar, and if the jury is unable to render a
speedy verdict it will not be his fault
Should counsel complete speech making to-

Woods will, if there remains sufficient time,
deliver his charge to the jury. However, it
