Title: blaine o'maine
abstract: 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. Physical description: 1 print: chromolithograph. Notes: j.
