Bequest and gift; Caroline and Erwin Swann; 1974; (DLC/PP-1974:232.1119) After abandoning the Republican party in the two previous elections, Nast once again lent his support in the 1892 Presidential race. In return for endorsing the Republican ticket in his paper Nast's Weekly, Republican committee members guaranteed Nast a circulation of 100,000 copies. Although Nast implies in this image that Harrison and Reid were popular with special interest groups, most laborers, foreigners, and common people had grown tired of the high tariffs of the Republican administration and did not support Harrison's reelection. Harrison lost by a wide margin to former President Grover Cleveland. Published in: Nast's Weekly, October 15, 1892. Exhibited: Corcoran Gallery of Art, "The Great Game of Politics," 1972.
