“A ‘Liberal’ Surrender: Any Thing To Beat Grant.”
|
|
|
|
|

This prescient cartoon appeared on newsstands the
opening day (May 1) of the Liberal Republican Convention and depicts the
Democratic takeover of the Liberal Republican cause. Viewed from behind the
battlements outside of the nation's capital, Horace Greeley and Carl Schurz,
diametric opposites, stand together upon the barricade. The Tribune editor plays
the "charge" on his (inverted) trumpet and the senator waves the white
flag of "Truce/We Surrender/Anything To Beat Grant" to summon in from
the woods (right) the Ku Klux Klan, Copperheads, Slavery, the Confederate States
of America, and the Tammany Ring, all representing the Democratic party. Later,
in early July, the Democratic National Convention accepted the Liberal
Republican nominees and platform as its own. |
