The Writing on the Wall

June 18, 1884With Blaine having claimed the Republican nomination, Puck turned to predictions of doom. In this parody of the biblical Feast of Belshazzar, Blaine and his supporters are thrown into confusion and terror at the sight of "Republican Revolt" on the wall, a reference to the Mugwumps and the independent movement.
