To which Schurz re-plies: I dont care whos killed, if we succeed in defeatingyour election.

The car-toon is a belated specimen of the school of American cari-cature which was in vogue in the days of President Jackson.As has already been stated, Puck was not founded until1877, too late to take part in the Tilden-Hayes campaign.When we speak of Puck, however, we refer, of course, to the Text Appearing After Image: THE BRAINS OF TAMMANY. edition printed in English, for, as a matter of fact, twenty-four numbers of a German Puck were published during theyear 1876.
