Show Editor Halstead of Cincinnati 8ys that instead of Cunt's having relinquished the idea of the third term, he is more determined than ever to be the republican candidate. He attributes all the disgsters to the party to its failure to follow his lead, - - and holds that if he is not nominated the democratic candidate will be elected as a matter of course, llal-Btead llal-Btead aays there will not be a delegate in the contention from Ohio for the third term, and that if Grant should pack the convention with third-term delegates from the south, there would be a break-up and a new republican candidate. An independent republican republi-can departure with Charles Francis Adams as the candidate, pitted against Thomas F. Bayard as the democratic standard-bearer, Mr. Halstead thought would be the most likely programmes for 1S7G. Indeed the independent republicans are already laying tho wires for the nom aation of Mr. Adams. |
