Image Description:
A political cartoon refering to rumors prior to the 1876 Republican National Convention that President Grant was to be nominated for a third term. Grant himself remained ostensibly ambiguous about the potential for a third nomination, but hinted that he would not be opposed when he said "if the exigencies of the party demanded it." The Democrat-majority house of representives passed a resolution (234-18) that directly condemned the notion of a third term as "undemocratic and unpatriotic."
