A few of thoso who have stood very pear to the Presidont say that tho tottor is mara likely than anything olsa to bring tho Prosident prominontly before the peoplo for ronomination; but tho persons who hold theso viows aro tho rare oxcoptions, It {s noticeablo to~day that many of tho Governmont ofiiciala who havo beon privately known to be opposed to the third term, and who havo considercd it wise hithierto to be milent, are very outspoken to-day in their indorscmont of this letter, which thoy claim is & manly declaration of tha fact that tha Presidont never has boon o candidate for nomi- nation, One or two of tho Cabinet oflicers who spoak abont tho letter say that, hnd they boen parsonally consulted, thoy shonld have suggest- wd a modification of tho phrascology, sud somo amendmonts, but tho = President gonerally writen Dbis own letters, und cerlaivly did this one.
