Cartoon characters identified by name; in lower right corner "on Stone by Cameron." John Cameron was a talented artist employed at Currier & Ives. In lower left corner "Thos. Worth. Sketch." Worth designed many cartoon broadsides for Currier & Ives. <br /> <br /> "An election-year cartoon invoking both Grant's humble beginnings as a tanner and his successful Civil War military career. Popular New York governor John Thompson Hoffman dressed as an Indian the 'Great Sachem of Tammany' presents Democratic candidates Horatio Seymour and Francis P. Blair Jr. to Grant. He addresses Grant 'Here General is a couple more hides to be tanned when will they be done' Grant smokes a cigar and wears the leather apron of a tanner rolled-up sleeves exposing his muscular arms. He replies 'Well I'll finish them off early in November.' <br /> "At right corner former Confederate generals Robert E. Lee Simon Bolivar Buckner and John C. Pemberton hold their rumps and hop about in pain. They announce 'This is to Certify that we have had our hides tanned and that the work was by him thoroughly done." Reilly AAS's entry asserts "Issued well before 1868 election." <br /> Reilly 1868-11. Weitenkampf 159. OCLC 191119896 1- Villanova 1136555720 1- AAS as of October 2024. Currier & Ives unknown
183838949New York: H.R. Robinson 1838. Oblong lithograph broadside 13-1/4" x 20." Shallow blank left margin chips from a prior mounting. Light outer margin darkening. A clean image signed 'Blanks fecit' perhaps Edward Williams Clay. Very Good.<br /> <br /> A satiric commentary on thwarted Democratic hopes to control New York City. Whigs dashed Democratic expectations in the New York municipal elections of spring 1838. Successful Whig mayoral candidate Aaron Clark holds and restrains two horses by their tails: 'Stop my good fellows you are going on a fools errand you are counting your chickens before they are hatched'." His victory has delayed if not destroyed Loco Foco hopes of political dominance. <br /> On the right a Loco Foco supporter in the garb of a carman or driver sits on a horse and tries to ride toward Albany to fulfill his ambitions: 'Marcy must resign in my favor and I'll be next Governor myself for this job!' Reilly suggests the man is either Isaac Varian the Loco Foco mayoral candidate or Democratic Congressman C.C. Cambreling.<br /> On the left a uniformed Jacksonian Democrat sits on his horse. He wants to go to Washington: 'I shall insist on Matty's making me next Collector.' He is probably Tammany leader Jesse Hoyt who indeed was successful in his quest to be Collector of the Port of New York.<br /> Reilly 1838-11. Weitenkampf 52.

The mid-term elections of 1884 were a disaster for the Democrats led by Grover Cleveland. Republicans and Populists in large part due to the efforts of Joseph Weeks Babcock 1850-1909 a Republican Congressman from Wisconsin who helped organize the Republican Congressional Campaign Committee in 1893 and was a major force in routing the Democrats in the 1894 House elections which cost the Democrats 113 of their 218 seats. They are most likely printed by Hartman & Cadick Republican printers. All follow the same format of quoting leading figures and using bold face type. 1: Caption title "If the Laboring Class be to Perish I Say the Whole Nation." A the head of the title: No. 1 - From the Congressional Record.

181228331New York: Pelsue and Gould 1812. 28pp disbound. Some toning light wear. Good.<br /> <br /> Fueled by jealousy of Virginia's near-monopoly on the presidency New Yorkers urge the nomination of De Witt Clinton in order to deny President Madison a second term. The dangers of jealousy among the States require that "Virginia herself as she values the confederation should abdicate a situation which she cannot retain without wounding the feelings of her associates and weakening their attachment for our union."<br /> The Committee objects to nominations by "congressional caucus" which favors Madison. The Constitution requires that the President be chosen "by the States composing the Union in their separate sovereign capacities each state voting in the ratio of its population." The Committee also criticizes Madison's conduct of the War of 1812. The Address is signed in type at the end by 16 New Yorkers.<br /> AI 25250 7 26pp. Sabin 13725. Pelsue and Gould unknown
