When Andrew Jackson was the Democratic candidate for President, Ills partisans revived his popular nickname, "Old Hickory," gained during the Indian wars and the War of 1812, and made the hickory their symbol. They carried hickory canes In Imitation of the one which Jackson alwuys carried. They held tumultuous rallies around hickory poles set up on the village green, town common or public square or set one up on a wagon which headed their campaign processions. In these processions marched Democrats carrying hickory houghs and companies of "Hickory I5uds," little boys in Jumpers, white underclothes and brond white collars and little girls In white dresses with blue and red sashes. Perhaps the most famous campaign In which a symbol played an Important part was the Log Cabin ami Hard Cider" campaign of 1S10. A Democratic newspaper had repealed a sneering remark that had been made about the Whig candidate, Gen. William Henry Harrison, the Hero of Tippecanoe." It said: "Give him a barrel of hard elder and a pension of two thousand a year, and, our word for It, he will sit the remainder of his days In a log cabin by the side of a sea coal fire and study moral philosophy. The Whigs joyously accepted the symbols thus suggested. Kveryw here the voters fumed, they saw a log cabin with a barrel of cider In front of the door and a coonskln tacked on Its walls or a live coon perched on the roof. There were log cabin badges, watch charms, earrings, medals, handkerchiefs, shaving soap, etc., and washwomen advertised that they would do up gentlemen's shirts In log cabin style," The result of this, plus the songs and slogans In praise of Tippecanoe and Tyler. Too. was the overwhelming victory of Harrison, the Indian fighter and frontiersman, over Martin Van I'uren, the aristocratic" New Yorker, who was the Democratic candidate. In tills campaign, too, appeared the predecessor of the full dinner pail symbol of later campaigns. It appeared In the form of this slogan of the Whigs: "Van's Tolley, Fifty Cents a Day and French Soup; Our Tolley, Two Dollars a Day and Roast Reef." Closely akin to the appeal of the log cabin in 18i0 was the symbolism of the 18(10 when fence rails were the emblems ofcampaign the who had nominated Abrahatu Lincoln, the Illinois for the Presidency. Similarly, the fact that Ulysses S. Grant had once engaged in the lowly occupation of a tanner, was used In his behalf when he was a candidate for President In ISOS. Tanner clubs." hearing symbols emblematic of the trade, marched In his honor shouting, Rring on the enemy and well tan his hide! In these parades also appeared men wearing shaggy and obviously untanned fur coats. In fact, one of the most remarkable things about the symbolism of a Presidential campaign Is the number of times some form of el has been an Important element In the appeal to the voters. The fringed hunting shirt and leggings of the frontiersman worn by men signing The Hunters of Kentucky, were much In evidence during the campaign to a coons mckory" Jackson cap. flfhioned after the favorite headgear of "Old Tippecanoe" Harrison, was worn by every loyal Whig in the campaign of .

That was buck In 1012 when Theodore Roosevelt led a revolt In the ranks of the Republican pHrty after the nomination of his former friend, William Howard Taft, and formed a new third party, which he called the Progressives. The crowing rooster symbol, which many editors run at the mastheads of their newspapers In campaign years and which np-- . pears on ofllclal ballots In some states, had Its origin back !u 1N40. In that year a certain Joseph Chapman whs the Democratic candidate or the Indiana legislature from Hancock county. Things were looking very gloomy for the Democrats that year. The country was still suffering from the panic of lJvlT and, of course, the Democratic administration under Van lturen was being blamed for It. Moreover the "singing Whigs," under the leadership of 0!en. William Henry Harrison, the Hero of Tippecanoe, were developing great strength. In fact, they were so successful tn the lloosler state that George l'attlson, editor of the Indianapolis Constitution, a Democratic paper, wrote to a certain William Sebastian of Greenfield as follows: I have been Informed by a Democrat that In one part of your county BO Van Huron men have turned for Harrison. Please let me know If such be the fact I think such a deplorable state of fact cannot exist. If so, I will visit Hancock and address the people relative to the policy of the Democratic party. I have no time to spare, but I will refuse to eat or sloop or rest so long as auythlng can be done. Do, for heaven's sake, stir up the Democracy. See Chapman, tell him not to do as he did heretofore. He used to create unnecessary alarm; tie must crow; we have much to crow over. I will Insure Gils county to give a Iemocratlc majority of 2U0 votes. Spare no pains. This letter happened to fall Into the hands of the Whigs, who promptly published It In an Indianaiolls paper as a means of ridiculing the Democrats. However, It had the opposite effect and "Crow, Chapman, Crow, became the slogan of the Indiana Democrats. When the Indiana Sentinel was launched In IS 41 It carried at the top of the front page the picture of a proud rooster and under it the slogan of "Crow, Chapman, Crow." In time this symbol spread all over the country and became the popular emblem of the Democratic party, although the more widely-usesymbol by cartoonists Is the donkey. The donkey seems to have first been used lu 1SB7. In that year Andrew Jaikson. making aJJre.os as he retired from the 1resi dency, Lad a great deal to say about the pros perous condition in w Mch he left the country. As a matter of fact, that prosperity was a snare and a delusion. Ills destruction of the United States bard; aud the distribution of the treasury surplus had paved the way for a flood of wild cat currency which led to wild speculation. Jackson had sowed the wind and Van Huron, hi successor, reaped the whirlwind of a severe Cnancial panic. A contemporary cartoon, bearing the title of 'The Modern and His Ass. shows Ja,k sun, mounted on a donkey across wose withers bangs a bag labeled Specie Currency irculating Medium." A ghost, labeled "Usukrupts of i Union." After Hie Civil war Nast cartoons came Into greater fame ns he turned his attention to the heated politics of the times. The great contest at that time was between resident Johnson and Edwin M. Stanton, the secretary of war, whom Johnson was trying to remove from office. Nast was strongly anti Johnson and pro Stanton. When Stanton died, Just after bis elevation to the Supreme court bench by President Grant, the hitter feelings of the Johnson Stanton feud had by no means died down and southern Democratic papers attacked Stanton even In their obituary notices. On January 15, 1870, Nast drew his first donkey cartoon. It pictured Stanton a a dead lion kicked by a donkey labeled "Copperhead papers." Underneath were the lines: A live Jackass kicking a dead aud such a Lion I and such a Jackass!" Nast did not Immediately repeat the donkey symbol. He had others for the Democratic party, the serpent In some cases and the fox In others. Nast'a Invention of the elephant ns a symbol of the Republican pnrty came about In a Jub at bis own political party. In 1874 the Republicans fuced their first defeat since coming Into power In IStSO. It wns not a Presidential year but In New York Samuel J. Tllden, fighting agnlnst the Republican governor, John A. Dlx, was making a double edged fight for that office. Tllden appeulcd to all classes of voters, for he bad been a prosecutor of Tweed aud he was also a member of the reformed Tammany Hall. The strength of the Democrats lay not In any local Issue or In the power of their candidate. There was a national Issue at stake, whether or not a President of the United States should have a third term. President Grant was believed to he determined to run for President again In 1870. The principal opponent to the Idea was James Gordon Dennett's New York Herald, which shrieked Incessantly "Caesarlsml At this crucial moment Nast drew his cartoon showing the first Republican elephant. It was called "The Third Term Panic." The New York Herald, an ass dressed In a lion's skin labeled "Cuesarlsm," Is braying loudly ami all of the animals In the forest are fleeing In alarm. The Tribune Is shown as a giraffe, the World as an owl dropping an arithmetic book, the Times as a unicorn with a monocle. At the edge of an abyss, barely hidden by broken planks marked "Inflation," "Repudiation," "Reform" (Tammany) and "Reconstruction,'' Is a huge elephunt marked "Republican Vote." Nearby Is a half concealed fox with features suggesting Tllden's and la beled "Democratic Party." Two weeks afterwards Nast drew a sequel to that cartoon. It showed the elephant tumbling , - pull arid you limy vui!k over the sluggish urnmal up there yet." (filler rnrtoohls's 1 , T ! Demorrnf!e party.
