“The Great Democratic Moral Show”

In this cartoon, Democratic Speaker of the House Samuel J. Randall of
Pennsylvania introduces the "The Great Democratic Moral Show" to the
voting audience. Revealed behind the curtains, made of American flags, a
long-haired former Confederate soldier, representing Southern Democrats, sits by
a (glass) ballot box. Armed with two pistols, he is ready to ensure by threats
or acts of violence that voters cast Democratic ballots only. Southern vote
fraud through the intimidation of black and white Republican voters is
encouraged in the letter to the editor posted on the wall (upper-left). The
placard in the upper-center incorporates a pun on the nickname of Democratic
nominee Winfield Hancock, as it announces that he will make a "Most
'SUPERB' Figure-Head" as president. Just to the right of Randall's right
leg is a small poster, falling off of the wall, which pokes fun at the refusal
of William English, the Democratic vice-presidential nominee, to donate any of
his great riches ("barrel of money") to the campaign. |
