Blaine O'Maine
Subject
James Blaine chasing the Presidency
Description
Illustration shows James G. Blaine running through a swamp, chasing a firefly labeled "Presidency" that is thumbing its nose at him. Blaine is leaving a "Bad Political Record" behind him that begins with his "Early Life in Pennsylvania", then "Becoming a Yankee" in Maine and "Being the First Carpet-Bagger", where he was engaged in fishing for "Men and Votes", and then as a Congressman and "Selling Agent of Little-Rock Bonds", and finally as "Secretary of State" and the "American Bismarck". "Mulligan Letters" are depicted throughout. The firefly projects a shadow of Blaine as a wicked hag on the white pages of his past.
