DescriptionThis is a paste up for a political cartoon, possibly unpublished. A man in the foreground, identified as "Undertaker J. G. Blaine," carries a pick-axe. Out of his bag, a shovel handle and a letter identified as "that Florence Letter J. Blaine" emerge. He passes a billboard that reads "Grave - Ranch, 1892, That Ticket, Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio, Repbulican Nomiee for President U.S., William Mahone of Virginia for Vice President." Beneath the sign, two figures, one with spurs, lay dead.
