Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
Cartoonist Thomas Nast takes the respective letters of acceptance as the basis for contrasting the characters of Republican presidential nominee Ulysses S. Grant and Democratic vice-presidential nominee Frank Blair. Grant is the nation's guard-dog, peaceable yet poised to protect the liberties of the people. Blair is the bellicose toy-dog which stands no chance against the substantial top-dog. |
