The Elephant and the Donkey

The Elephant and the Donkey
How is it that the elephant and
the donkey are the symbols of the
Republican and Democratic parties
respectively? This question was
asked by recent visitor to my Of
flee, and with only very sketchy
knowledge of the correct answer,
| sought out what is believed to be
an authentic response.
The donkey as the symbol of the
Democratic party was popularized
if not invented, by the cartoons of
Thomas Mast. He first used the
donkey to represent the Democrats
in cartoon published in the Janu-
airy IS, 1870, issue of "Harpers
Weekly" This cartoon portrayed
Edwin NJ. Stanton, a former Secrc-
tary of War, who had recently died
as a dead lion being kicked over by
donkey labelled "Copperhead
Papers" Under the picture we're
the words. "A live JackasS kicking
dead lion! and such Jackass"
Later Mast, Republican reform
cr and crusader, used the donkey
10 typify the Democratic party spe-
officially.
1t is possible that Nast's use of
the donkey for the Democratic
party was not an innovation. Car
toons during the early 1905 por-
trayed President jackson riding a
Jack SOM ass" Others pictured

donkey The Field Piece" Wing
campaign paper, printed WoOdcut
on July 10, 1848, pOrtraying the
| figure of a donkey on what was
labelled the Democratic platform"
In 1864, General George B. Nc
Clellan, the Democratic nominee
for President, was portrayed
mounted backward on donkey
urged on by August Belmont and
other Democratic leaders.
The elephant as the symbol of
the Republican party was likewise
popularized by Thomas Mast. On
November 7, 1874, "Harper's Week
ly' printed Mast cartoon in which
the assembled animals and birds
of the fOrest-repreSenting various
newspapers, States and issues-arc
shown as being frightened by a
donkey in a lions skin crying
"Caesarism, which alluded to the
| Democratic charge that President
Grant was scheming for a third
term. The elephant, labelled Re
publican Vote" is also pictured as
frightened and is running toward a
pitfall loosely covered with decep-
tive planks labelled initiation, re-

 Carelessly discarded cigarettes have been blamed as the apparent cause of the fire. In a report re- leased Tuesday. Territorial Fire Marshal F. c. Roberts said:
 The fire was apparently caused from carelessly discarded cigarettes and the rapid spread in the early stages of the fire can be attributed to 20 gallons of lacquer stored in the same area"
 The fire marshaI's report said specifically that the fire originated in a room at the rear of the Thur derbird Bowling Alley on the sec ond floor of the Red Men building and investigation disclosed that two ten-age boys had been in the room at o'clock that afternoon

ing in the bone marrow This year 50 miles of beach fringe were searched and 131 dead deer found. It was determined that 116 died as a result of malnutrition or starvl- tion and the other } were in good health at the time of death which came from accidental drowning. wolf predation or some other cause.
 Winter mortality rates for sever al areas in Southeastern Alaska are:
 KETCHIKAN AREA Dead deer per mile of beach. George h. let, less than l; Gravina Island. less than \; Helm Bay. less than \; Onslow Island, less than one.
 Wransen Petersburg area WY Dead deer Der mile of beach: Whale Pass, less than 1: Zarembo Island. less than \; Duncan Canal, 3; Big John Bay, less than I, Wrangell Narrows. ,.
 Juneau-Sitka area - Dead deer Per mile of beach. Pybus Bay. less than \; Gambler Bay, 1.7. Mole Harbor, 3.5; Hawk Inlet, 1.2; Douglas Island, 2.6; Tenakee Inlet. 1; Deadman's Reach. 10. Neva strait. &; Ushk Bay, s. Nakwasina Passage, IF.
 FVS said this was a slightly heavier winter kill than 1855 which averaged dead deer par mile as against this years 2.6 dead deer per mile. However. the agency added. the outlook for the 1856 hunting season is good. It said that winter and spring aerial counts ot live deer indicate that this win ter's loss is more than offset by last springs production.
