A banner pairing James G. Blaine with John A. Logan points to the 1884 Republican ticket, when the two men ran together for president and vice president. Campaign banners like this were hung across streets and carried in torchlight parades, turning a candidate's name into a bold public message. Blaine lost to Grover Cleveland in a close race decided in New York, so the slogans on such banners now read as a snapshot of a bitterly fought contest. The piece is worth a close look for how openly it shows the partisan street theater of the period.
