Chicago Cincinnati Democrats Expect Expected Puck Republicans Ticket Weak Weaker
EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Weak Ticket in the Field - and a Weaker Expected: What May We Expect of the Democrats at Cincinnati?" This political cartoon, published in Puck magazine on June 16, 1880, depicts the Republican and Democratic presidential candidates of that year, James A. Garfield and Chester Arthur on the left, and Samuel J. Tilden and David Davis on the right, standing in a field. The title of the cartoon alludes to the ongoing presidential campaign and the outcome of the recent Republican National Convention in Chicago, where Garfield emerged as the nominee despite initial weak showings. The cartoonist portrays a disheveled and uncertain Garfield and Arthur, with Garfield holding a weak ticket (a symbol of their party's lackluster performance), while Tilden and Davis, the Democratic candidates, appear more confident and determined, with Tilden holding a seemingly stronger ticket. The caption "What May We Expect of the Democrats at Cincinnati?" suggests that the outcome of the upcoming Democratic National Convention in Cincinnati could be even more uncertain and potentially weaker for the Democrats than the Republicans' experience in Chicago. The cartoon reflects the political climate of the time, as both parties grappled with internal divisions and sought to rally support for their respective candidates. The use of humor and visual symbolism in the cartoon underscores the importance of the presidential election and the high stakes for each party. Overall, this Puck cartoon offers a fascinating glimpse into the political landscape of the late 19th century and the intense competition between the two major American political parties.
