This cartoon acknowledges the selection of the Republican national ticket by portraying the party as a fierce, frothing, stampeding elephant that has broken away from the “Chicago Circus” (the Republican National Convention). An ill-looking Uncle Sam, carefully positioned out of the pachyderm’s path, is about to take a drink from a cider jug with Harrison’s face on it. The jug alludes to the 1840 presidential campaign of Benjamin Harrison’s grandfather, William Henry Harrison, during which an opposing newspaper’s attempt to mock the latter’s frontier pretensions backfired, making hard cider and log cabins beloved symbols of the candidate. |
