GRANT ~ 1850
Keokuk Gate City.


It is an axiom Of American political eXN
perlcnce demonstrated from the time Of
the cider Adams, that no American
president can be successful unless IN
harmony with the party. Further, the
man lacks judgment who does not see
that L. 5. Grant is stronger than any
man or any party in the United States
He can more certainly be elected presi,
dent than any man in America. There
isn't the man living who can beat him.
We arc not overlooking the tact that the
strength OF nearly every series Of nation
al institutions rests in certain unwritten
political traditions and instincts. And
that such an unwrtten tradition is that
no man shall be president more
than two terms. But Tomorrow
or next year or in 1850 Grant
can carry thirty states Of the union ioI
president. He can be president for eight
years more just az certainly as he has
been for eight that are past. lie would

Of eight more years just as contentedly
and easily as he did last year. But viii
the unwritten traditional law agains

with him the swift future might bring
some one equally strong, but more am
bilious, who would lay down power onl,

jury from interfering with the Sunday trade.
The writ was granted. and the result of this
suit is awaited with great interest by he peo-
