“The So-called ‘Intensely American Candidate”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This Thomas Nast cartoon ridicules the notion that the Irish vote will carry Republican nominee James Blaine to the White House. The Irish-American confronting Uncle Sam is representative of Nast's conception of Irish-Catholics in politics. The figure's combative, clamorous manner is discerned through his pose and gestures: open mouth, pointing finger, shillelagh raised threateningly in the air. His mustache and apparel are those of the shoulder-hitter, urban toughs who enforced the will of political bosses by intimidation or violence. The dialogue identifies him as "Dynamite Dictator," thereby connecting him with violent acts by certain Irish Nationalist groups in England and Ireland. He and the two men conveying Blaine--a servant or cabdriver (left) and a prisoner (right)--sum up Nast's biased view of Irish-Catholics. |
