The Third-Term Fraud. Indepantdent and anti-Grant Repub licams profess to see a decided weak eniig of the third term boomit, and the reasons they give are not witlhotn weig'1t. Tie programme of the third teriers was to capture New York, Pennsylvauiu, Indiana and Illinois in the early spring, before opposition could crystallize, and then to scoop in the solid South. Coukling and Cameron put their job through with hard work, but IllinoiL halted, and Itdi:una kicked right out of the traces.
