Tweed gang In New York is familiar
story. The donkey now familiar In
the American cartoon was first used
BY Mast IN 1874. To Mast also be-
longs the dinner pail as symbolic Of
the mechanic.
While Thomas Mast is considered
the pioneer American caricaturist,
Bernard Glllam's conceit of James G.
Blaine as the tattooed man takes rank,
next to several of Nast's, as perhaps
the most famous cartoon ever printed
In the United States. This caricature,
appearing In Puck during the heat Of
the Cleveland Blaine campaign, was
most strongly obnoxious to Siaine be-
cause Of the tattoo marks that spelled
out the word bribery" drawn ON the
ngure representing him. Mr. Blaine
was dissuaded from prosecuting the
publishers OF Puck only after the
strongest pressure had been brought
TO bear to turn him from his resolve.
Curious to relate, Bernard Gillian
was an ardent Republican. voting for
Blaine. and was suggesting equally
soaring carlcatures of Cleveland and
the Democratic party for Puck's rival.
Judge, at the same time he was execut-
Ing his historically famous tattooed

Coming down to recent years, the
eartoonist found In the Spanish war,
