RESOLUTIONS. Special Dispatch to The BII. ST. Louis , May 7 1 a. m. In the anti-third term convention a lengthyplatform was adopted opposing the third-term principle , with a pre amble setting forth the belief that the convention represented a majority of the republican voters of the United States and for this reason assembled to express their convictions. They reaffirm their devotion to the republi can party , and in view of the present exigencies especially reaffirm , the-re cent declarations of ttate'republican conventions which opposed the third term. The nomination of a third- term candidate would put the republi can party on the defensive , and there- fora should bo discouraged. It would revive the memory of public sentiment and official corruption which brought the party to the verge of ruin , and would again alienate a large and pow erful body of voters without whose aid success is neither possible nor to be desired , while in the character and surroundings af the third-term candi date no guarantee is found against their recurrence , but rather a renewed menace in the history of the men who are loudest in his support. As repub licans they cannot be hero-worshipers. They believe that the questions now agitating the public mind connected with the currency , the tariff , the civil service , the railroads and other means of inter-communication require the talents of a statesman. It was resolved that a national com mittee of one hundred bo appointed and instructed in the event of the nomination of Grant to meet at New York at the call of the chairman and there act in such a manner as they mill deem best , the committee to bo selected by a committee of thirteen. The committee of thirteen was then ippointed , with Lucien Eaton as ihairman. The chairman was author- zed to appoint a committe of five to place before the Chicago convention proceedings of the day. Three cheers vere given for the anti-third term md the convention akjourned. The convention was remarkable for ho few delegates present , although it iras boasted ] beforehand that twenty tales would be represented by at east 200 delegates. Four-fifths of hose present were St. Louis demo- rats , who were gladly admitted to he convention in order to prevent he numerical insignificance of the nti-third termers from being too narked.
