Banner Blaine Link Locked Logan
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1884 depicts a grand banner proudly displayed at a political rally, boosting the campaign of Presidential candidate James G. Blaine. The banner, adorned with vibrant colors and bold text, reads, "Blaine or Bust! Lock, Lock, Logan Be Damned!" The reference to "Logan" refers to James Webb Logan, Blaine's main political rival in the presidential race. The photograph captures the intensity and excitement of the political climate during this time, with a large crowd gathered around the banner, some waving flags and others giving passionate speeches. The banner itself is a testament to the power of rhetoric and the importance of persuasive language in political campaigns. Despite the heated rhetoric, the banner's impact was significant. Blaine went on to win the Republican nomination, but ultimately lost the presidential election to Grover Cleveland. However, this banner and the passionate support it represented played a crucial role in shaping the political discourse of the time. This image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a unique perspective on the political process and the role of public sentiment in shaping the outcome of elections. The banner's bold message and the passionate response it elicited from the crowd continue to resonate, reminding us of the enduring power of language and the importance of engaging with the political process.
