This cartoon claims that President William McKinley’s September 8 letter officially accepting the Republican nomination for a second term was on target in destroying imperialism as an issue that Democrats could use against him. McKinley fires the cannon from the White House grounds, hitting the imperialism bugaboo and scattering (left-right): Democratic presidential nominee William Jennings Bryan; Carl Schurz, the former senator and interior secretary and current vice president of the Anti-Imperialist League; William Lloyd Garrison Jr., also a vice president of the Anti-Imperialist League; and, Richard Olney, attorney general (1893-1895) and secretary of state (1895-1897) during President Grover Cleveland’s second term. The image links the commander-in-chief with the American victory in the Spanish-American War of 1898.
