Grand s4griCssltnrnl Fair,
which is to take place on the 18th, 10th and
18th of October next, printed at the office
of the La. Democrat, in a style which as re-
CARDS execution, neatness of arrangement,
finish and material is seldom seen excelled
in country town, and which reflects the
highest credit on the accomplished young
typo, who has now the control of the me-
chanical department of the office from
which it was issued. Wishing very hearth
ty the most complete success to the enter
prize which it heralds, we hope as is most
likely the case, that the programmes have
been widely and generally distributed, as
they certainly will create a more favorable
impression of the resources and energies of
Rapides than is We fear generally accorded
to her. We ourselves resident of thirty
five years, and intimately acquainted with
every part and parcel Of the parish, had no
idea that passing over the departments A B
c d E and F and coming to G, there was
enough fine stock, poultry and dogs in Ra-
pides, to get up respectable competition
for prizes and premiums, and yet of course
we must be mistaken and the managers
know better, as one or two fine stations
sheep or swine, would no more make a
show than one or two swallows would
make summer. The Shetland ponies too,
we suppose, are to be found somewhere
and family carriages, harness horses and
mares will no doubt be forthcoming, be-
sides the flyers from the Eclipse and Ex-
celsior Stables, SO success to the Fair.

delight that rang about them and even those ,esS
popular men, Webster. Calhoun, Buchanan ana
Benton, were wont to make . commotion when
they appeared. But General Grants power over
his party Is the silent, unimpassioned authority
which he welded over his army. There is no de-
light in the obedience which the party renders to
him, and the party Is plainly tired OF It, And yet
II feels that 1t is bound to the irksome duty till
such time as 1t shall be released by the grace Of
Its master. 1t does not want him for third
term and yet 1t feels that IL has no voice in
the matter. 1t all depends on the President
himself. II he will allow the party to select some
one else the party will be delighted; II he shall de-
mand third term, or which is the same thing, he
shall permit the Ofce.hoders to demand it for him,
the party Will have no alternative but to yield 1t.
This Is the exact position or the question, and all
that the party can do Is to wait with doce patience
till the silent President shan make known his
wishes
from the Springfield Ql) Journal republican,,
July 1871
The question OF electing any man to the Presi-
dency OF the United States for third term is one
which. II ever submitted to the American people
for discussion would form one OF the very chefest
issues OF . national canvass. This question came
up in 1885, at the close OF President Washngton's
second term, and he, then incomparably the first
citizen of the nation, refused to allow his name to
be used as q candidate after his second election.
Since then no President has ever entertained
the idea, as far as we can know, OF seeking third
election. We have no hesitation In saying that we
do not believe that General Grant would entertain
the suggestion for moment. He will follow the
example OF the Father OF his Country and become,
~ washington did, the grandest living example or
the strength, the genius and simplicity ofrepub-
lican government The people of this country have
awarded TO General Grant the highest honors
within their gift; they have done 80 because they
believe him worthy, and General Grant will be the
last man to take single step toward unscttng
the precedent established by Washington in I796,
and followed by all his successors for more than
three quarters OF century-a precedent which the
myrads OF the people of this country believe to b.
written law.
