- Cartoon from the November 7, 1874 Harper's Weekly shows the New York Herald (An Ass, having put on the Lion's skin) scaring other animals, including an elephant labeled The Republican Vote. This cartoon is widely credited as the first use of an elephant to represent the Republican Party. The New York Herald accused Ulysses S. Grant of caesarism for intending to run for a third term as U.S. President.
