Complete HarpWeek Explanation:
This cartoon envisions the news of the Electoral Commission's decision as a
high-society ball. Columbia ("Mrs. U.S.") politely refuses Samuel
Tilden's dance card as she walk to the dance floor with President-elect Hayes.
Tilden's top hat has collapsed behind his back, while Hayes suspiciously glances
at the defeated Democrat out of the corner of his eye. This is one of the few
cartoon caricatures of Hayes to appear in Harper's Weekly during the 1876-1877
election campaign and controversy. |
