Wilkes Booth the Second. "If he is elected by unfair means, or use of illegal power - if he does not receive a majority of three hundred and seventeen votes of the Electoral College, fairly cast - if he seeks to override a majority in America, he dies before his term of office shall one-fourth expire, and the party that would thus unjustly elevate him to power shall be strangled in the blood it cries for." - The Democrat, Oct. 13, 1868 : zwei verkleidete Männer schleichen sich an Grant heran, um ihn zu töten / Th. Nast
