"Make Way for the Uncrowned King"
|

According to cartoonist W. A. Rogers, the real power behind the Republican throne is James G. Blaine, the presidential nominee of 1884, not the 1888 GOP standard-bearer, Benjamin Harrison. In this cartoon, Blaine arrives in the grand style of an Indian rajah: in a regal carriage atop an ornately decorated Republican elephant, and attended by servants—an Irish coachman and his top advisors, New York Tribune editor Whitelaw Reid (left) and Congressman William Walter Phelps (right) of New Jersey. On the ground, the Republican masses and press bow deeply out of reverence for their “uncrowned king,” while Harrison scurries from the path of the trumpeting elephant and its royal rider. |
