Decatur, I, March 20—1t ts tho firm conviction of many that the abote men will be the Republican nominees at the egning Natipnal Convention, And, with two! suelt metas Blaine and Washburne, why should not the Republican party prove overwlielin- ingly victorious in the coming Presidential lection? They are well worthy aud eapadle Of filling the high positions of President and Vice-President, and thelr past record ts 2s noble and unsutlied as that of whieh any partzlotte and trie Ameriean eltfzen can ast. It is my positive belief that on these two men the “Republican party with be united, for true and honest Republicans enn- not consclentiousiy object to their must: pe Mltleal records, Some are of the opinion that Grunt will prove thy strongest, and is better tted for the position of Chiat Executive, But right here comes in the question of the third-term business, While a grent many Republicans have nothing agatnst Grant, and honor him as a man, a statesman, a patriot and a hero, whom forelau nations love and respect, ad express hearilyto him, "donor tte whom honor Js due,’ yet they are not willing that he should be elected to a third term of the Presidency of the United States, for fear that tu Introdueing the Uird-term system fb sulght sooner or Jater prove detrl- mental to the Interests amd welfare of our Notion. Grant lias reeelved all the honor and homaxe from his own aud that of foreign nations that could pessibly be bestowed upon mortal mun, and the Presidency for, a third term would add none to his honor or glory, There ure other truce and loyal men that we ean rely on to safely guide the great Ship of State,—inen that are true and tried; men who have labored hard for the welfure and good of their country, and should therefore recelye, In sume mens ure, the benetit of thelr labors, And from out among these men rise two whose names glitter, untarnished, .on the scroll of fame, whose souls bear the true stamp of a holy tid loyal devotion to thelr couutry,—Blalne and Washburne! Let these two names be nalled to the Repubilean mast-head, nnd. tho Kepublican party as one man will rally to thelr support. Acting thus, defeat will be shuply impossible. JUSTICE, CASUALTIES.
