1HE Watertown Democrat last week
devoted nearly all its editorial space to
writing down Grant. 1t has Grant on the
brain, and very badly, at that. 1t is a
little strange that democrats should spend
SO .nuch time in trying to prevent the
nomination OF man SO weak as they say
Grant is. One would suppose that is the
kinda ticket they would be interested
in having the republicans nominate. 1t
looks very much as if they fear that he
will be elected, if nominated, and hence
want to see him killed off, Their calcu-
Iations are correct The nominee of the
Chicago convention will be elected. 1t
may or may not be Grant Whoever it
is, the people will ratify the nomination.
They are not going to restore the demo-
cratic party to power. That much is GER
tain. Republicans may honestly differ as
to the man Of their choice, but when the
convention shall have selected its stand
ard bearer, they will rally as one man
and elect him. The next president will
be republican. Let The Watertown
Democrat make up its mind to that.

The american Reprint of the En-

We wish to call the attention of the readers
and thinkers Of our city to this grand work No
work of its kind stands higher in the estimation
of scholars than the Encyclopedia Britannica
Its great cost was the only hindrance to it's gene
raj use. American readers generally could not
afford to pay ten dollars per volume for twenty
one volumes. And until the work was reprinted
in the United States we were obliged to content
ourselves with its possession in few of our lead
ing libraries.
The work is now furnished in the American Re-
print at about one halfit original cost and per-
feet in all its parts every word cut illustration
map and plate being honestly and faithfully re-
produced.
Letters like the following show what the lead
ing men of the age think of this great work

The Encyclopedia Britannica is, outside
the Bible, the most valuable work in the English
language, Its articles bring down all scientific
and other discoveries to the date of their issue,
so that the general reader who wishes to know
what has been discovered on any matter has on
lyto refer to its pages. Through the enterprise
of Messrs. Stoddart, of Philadelphia this great
work is being reprinted in our country, and sold
at half the cost of the English edition. AS the
accuracy of the Reprint is guaranteed, the pur-
chaser obtains for very small sum what is it.

cyclopedia, when one SO copious and so recent

The time for theories, vagaries and fancies, both
in science and religion, is past. Men are asking
everywhere what are the facts. These truths
and their relations to each other constitute true
knowledge, and knowledge crystallized-or the
best thought of the age on every subject conden-
sed and brought within the scope of set of
books constitutes the true encyclopedia and such
is the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Mr.. EDITOR: One thought that is
agitating the minds Of the voters Of
the Second District, is the selection of
a suitable man for the next place. We
want man OF undoubted loyalty and
ability, whose record ID clear. and
whose morals are good. 1t behooves
as toput one OF our best m EN- on the
track 10 the coming contest. We
think one of the most suitable In
every respect will be found In the per-
son of DR.. J. Nat. Lyle, Of cambridge
and while we know not who the as
pirants may be, and while we say
nothing TO the detrimeDt of any one,
we know the fidelity and patriotism Of
the Doctor can not be gainsaid;
and ,as jefferson county feels she Is en-
titled to furnish the next man, we in
sist that he deserves the consideration
of the voters of the District, and, IL
honored with the race, will, in every
respect, merit the confidence of the
people. Pro PATRJA.
