Because of General Winfield Hancock's valiant military service to the Union cause during the Civil War, and his lack of taking a strong stand on issues contrary to the positions of Harper's Weekly, the Republican newspaper's staff mainly refrained from attacking the character of the Democratic presidential nominee. Instead, they concentrated on the allegedly vile nature of the company that he kept-i.e., the Democratic party. This cartoon, probably by Thure de Thulstrup, appeared two weeks after Hancock's nomination (published July 14). It is one of the first in a series of cartoons that exemplify the Harper's Weekly theme of emphasizing the contrary combination of the Democratic presidential nominee and his party.
