Summary

Cover of "Jingo", publication date 12 November 1884.
Cover cartoon "A Lion in his Path". Cartoon has a caricature of Grover Cleveland, U.S. Democratic Party presidential candidate, at left, with his pants cuffs labeled "States Rights" and "Social Record". He is perspiring while looking at a lion with a flag labeled "Free Trade" on its tail. The lion blocks Cleveland's path to the U.S. Capitol, which flies a flag reading "Blaine & Logan" (the Republican Party ticket). Cleveland wipes his face with a handkerchief reading "Defeated".

Actually, Cleveland won the 1884 Presidential election, contrary to the prediction of this Republican sympathizing cartoon.
