“Now or Never—The White House or ‘Bust’!”
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
In a last-ditch effort to capture the White House, Democratic presidential
nominee General Winfield Hancock readies to fire a dangerously dilapidated
cannon from the sinking Democratic ship. His compatriots, most wearing Irish
shamrocks, are (left to right): 1876 presidential nominee Samuel Tilden; 1876
vice-presidential nominee Thomas Hendricks; Hancock; Senator L. Q. C. Lamar of
Mississippi; Senator Wade Hampton of South Carolina; [unknown]; Tammany Hall
boss John Kelly in a workman's apron advertising for patronage jobs; possibly
Senator Thomas Bayard of Delaware; former congressman Benjamin Butler; Senator
Allen Thurman of Ohio; Speaker of the House James Randall of Pennsylvania; and
Hancock's vice-presidential running-mate William English, sitting on his riches
("barrel of money"). The cannon reveals splits in the Democratic party
in Georgia, Virginia, and, most importantly, New York, where the Tilden-Kelly
feud undermined the Hancock campaign. Besides the White House, main targets of
the Democratic attack include the public schools and the federal treasury. |
