Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
This C. S. Reinhart cartoon shows the worsening fate of the Liberal Republicans'/Democrats' in the fall state elections. Their poor showing presages the dismal result for Horace Greeley in the upcoming presidential contest. This issue of Harper's Weekly was published on October 16, only a few weeks before the November election.
