Description "The Third-Term Panic", by Thomas Nast, originally published in en:Harper's Magazine 7 November 1874.
English: A braying ass, in a lion's coat, and "N.Y. Herald" collar, frightening animals in the forest: a giraffe ("N. Y. Tribune"), a unicorn ("N. Y. Times"), and an owl ("N. Y. World"); an ostrich, its head buried, represents "Temperance". An elephant, "The Republican Vote", stands near broken planks (Inflation, Repudiation, Home Rule, and Re-construction). Under the elephant, a pit labeled "Southern Claims. Chaos. Rum." A fox ("Democratic Party") has its forepaws on the plank "Reform. (Tammany. K.K.)" The title refers to U.S. Grant's possible bid for a third presidential term. This possibility was criticized by N.Y. Herald owner and editor James Gordon Bennett, Jr.
Français : L'âne déguisé en lion (représentant New York Herald), marqué du césarisme, met en fuite les autres animaux de la forêt : la girafe (New York Tribune), la licorne (The New York Times), l'autruche (la modération)... Le renard (symbolisant le parti démocrate), se cache dans les fourrés et tient sous ses pattes une planche marquée Reform (Tammany' K. K.) (demandant la réforme du Tammany Hall). L'éléphant, symbole du vote républicain semble briser sous ses pieds les autres planches de la politique permettant de combler l'abîme entre le Nord et le Sud (Re-construction, Inflation, Repudiation). La caricature fait référence à la possibilité pour le président Grant de briguer un troisième mandat, alors que James Gordon Bennett, Jr., critiquait cette idée et ses conséquences.
