THE DAILY TIMES. THE THIRD TERM. UMXT DKfLIMM TO Al l KPT WHAT *'H AX NOT BI'.KN OFI’F.IIKII 111 XI." J •psrisl to the Tim ex, by s. AA. Line.) THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER. ' Washington, May 31.—President I Grant has written the following let ! ter to Gen. Harry White, President ,: of the reeent Pennsylvania Republl i can State Convention: Executive Mansion. I ' Washington, May 29th, 1875. f Dear Sir A short time subsequent to tlie Presidential election in 1872, i the press, a portion of it hostile to the Republican party, and particu larly so to the Administration, start-' ed the ery of Ctcstirism and the third : term, calling lustily for me to delino my position on the latter subject. 1 ; believed it to be beneath the dignity of the office which 1 have been twice called upon to fill, to an swer such a question before the sub ject should lie presented by compe tent authority to make a nomination, or by a body of such dignity and au -1 thority as not to make a reply a fair subject of ridicule. In fact 1 have been surprised that so many sensible persons in tlie Republican party should permit their enemy to force upon them and their party an issue j which cannot add strength to the : party, no matter how met, but a body of the dignity and party authority of a convention to make nominations for the State officers of I lie second State in the Union. Having consid ered this question, I deem it not im proper that 1 should now speak. In the first place, I never sought the office for a second nor even for a first nomination. To the first, 1 was call ed from a lifo position -one created | by Congress expressly for me, for ' supposed services rendered to the Re j public. The position vacated I liked. . It would have been most agreeable to me to have retained it until such time as Congress might have con sented to my retirement with the rank und emoluments which I so much needed, to n home where the balance of my days might be spent in peace and the enjoyment of do mestic quiet, relieved from the cares which have oppressed me so oon- I stantly now for fourteen years. But I was made to believe that the public I good called me to make the sacrifice. Without seeking the office for the second term the nomination was ten dered to me by a unanimous vote of | the delegates of all the States and Territories selected by the Republi cans of each to represent their whole number for the purpose of making their nomination. I can’t say that. I was not pleased at this, and at tire overwhelming en dorsement which their action receiv ed at, the election following. But it must be remembered that ull the sac rifices, except that of comfort, had been made in accepting the first term. Then, too, such a lire of per sona! abuse and slander tiad been kept tip for four years, notwithstand ing the conscientious perform ance of my duties to the best of my understanding, though, I admit, in the light of subsequent events, many times being subject to fair criticism, that an endorsement from the people, who alone govern republics, was a gratification that it is only human to have appreciate!} and enjoyed. NOW 108 THE Till It II TERM. X do not want, it any more than I did the ilrst. I would not write or utter a word to change the will of the people in expressing and havingtheir choice. The question of the number of terms allowed to any one Execu tive, can only come up fairly in the shape of a proposition to amend the Constitution a shape in which all political parties can participate - lix ing tHo length of time or the number of terms for which any one person shall be eligible for the office of Pres ident. Until such an amendment is adopted, the people cannot be re stricted in their choice by resolution, further than they are. now restricted as to age, nativity, &c. It may happen In the future history of the country that to change an Ex ecutive because he has been eight years in office, will prove unfortu nate, if not disastrous. The idea that any man could re-elect himself Presi dent, or even re-nominatc himself, is preposterous. It is a reflection upon the intelligence and patriotism of the people to suppose such a thing possi ble. Any man can destroy his chances for the office, but no one can force an election or even a nomination. To recapitulate: I am not nor have I ever been a candidate for a re-nomination. I would not accept a nomination if it were tendered, un less it should come under such cir cumstances as to make it an impera tive duty—circumstances not likely to arise. I congratulate the convention over which yon preside, for the harmony which prevailed, and for the excel lent ticket put. in the field and which I hope may be triumphantly elected. With great respect, Your obedient servant, [Higned] U. S. Grant. Opinion- of the New fork Press. New York, May 31. -The Herald, referring editorially to the President’s third important political declaration which he has made since his acces sion to office, says: “It is an exceed ingly adroit letter, but far from being satisfactory. There is nothing in it to prevent Grant’s acceptance of the COLUMBUS, GA., TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 1875. Presidency for a t hird term. Wo shall bo surprised if the country accepts this as a satisfactory declaration. It is an evasive letter. It would have boon much better for ills fume, and even for the welfare of the party he proposes to serve, if ho had not writ ten a word. Tlie country is told that the President will not tuko what is not offered him. The Herald wants n declaration that will destroy Ctesar ism by limiting all administrations to one term, and no re-election over after.” The Times considers that the Pres ident’s views are expressed with great simplicity and frankness, and that, his declaration will be deemed satis factory by tho people; but those who originally raised the cry of a ‘‘third term,” will not bo satisfied. They will pick holes In tho letter, here and there ; take out detached sentences, and twist them into signifying wluit they do not properly express. The Times confesses that tho letter ought to be accepted by a ll just, fair-minded men as absolutely putting an end to the whole question; and tho Repub licans should prepare for tho work of 1876, without reference to even tho I possibility of Grant being in tho field | as a candidate. | The Tribune says : “Although some what Delphic in its phraseology, the I President’s letter will probably be remarked as finally withdrawing Grant's name from the list of candi dates for tlie next Presidency. If he had only said as much some time ago, what suffering might have been saved the Republican party?” Tlie World, in its editorial, says: “Nobody can fail to read the extreme reluctance with which the President makes oven a pretense of resigning his chance for re-election. His letter, which purports the resignation of his pretensions, is not so. In fact, the saving clause in it enables him to alter those pretensions whenever he may choose, which he means, when ever ho sees the possibility of success for them.” The Sun is silent. It publishes the letter without comment. IlfM-nrnllim Dny in New York. New Yobk, May 31. Decoration day being appropriately observed in this city, and business generally suspended and tho day given up to work of decorating the graves of soldiers. Tho city wears holiday at tire; the streets arc crowded to wit ness the parade of different hosts of tlie Grand Army of tho Republic on their way to the graves of the coun- I try’s fallen heroes.
