The Third Term Letter From Grant Courting Silence
The article prints a letter attributed to Ulysses S. Grant addressed to Gen. Harry White, announcing he is not and has not been a candidate for renomination. It notes his previous silence on a third term was due to the dignity of the office and suggests the letter may be seen as withdrawing Grant from the presidential race. He concedes possible conditions under which he might accept a nomination but doubts such circumstances will occur.

It also brushes current trials, Beecher, Gov. Allen’s birthplace, and other varied 1870s topics.
