Description: Daily Graphic (New York) (34:3417), front cover. Full-page editorial cartoon by F. J. Willson, showing a boorish, fat Republican wearing a blindfold labeled "bigotry," dismissing General Sherman, whose wife is a Roman Catholic. "No! You may be a gallant soldier, you may possess culture and capacity, you may be honest --but your wife is a Roman Catholic!" An example of Willson's style and of the graphic presentation of prejudices in that era. The boorish guy resembles the caricatures of working-class Irish, usually associated with the Democratic party. Hansen database #4501
