During the 1884 presidential campaign, the battle between candidates Grover Cleveland and James Blaine signified a historic moment as cartoonists such as Thomas Nast, Joseph Keppler, and Bernhard Gillam brought the world of politics to their drawing board to communicate who should be selected for the highest office in the nation. The year 1884 was an important point in history as it was the first and only time that Nast and Harper’s Weekly supported a Democratic candidate since the Civil War. Utilizing original publications from Harper’s Weekly and Puck magazine, this essay underscores the influence of political cartoons and the public to reinforce agenda, and draws attention to the persuasive power of caricatures through symbols, satires and parodies, and Nast’s influence on other cartoonists.

政治漫画对 1884 年美国总统竞选的意识形态影响

在 1884 年总统竞选期间，候选人格罗弗·克利夫兰 (Grover Cleveland) 和詹姆斯·布莱恩 (James Blaine) 之间的战斗标志着一个历史性时刻，因为托马斯·纳斯特 (Thomas Nast)、约瑟夫·凯普勒 (Joseph Keppler) 和伯恩哈德·吉拉姆 (Bernhard Gillam) 等漫画家将政治世界带到了他们的绘图板上，以交流谁应该被选为最高职位在国家的办公室。1884 年是历史上的一个重要时刻，因为这是自内战以来纳斯特和哈珀周刊第一次也是唯一一次支持民主党候选人。本文利用哈珀周刊和帕克杂志的原始出版物，强调政治漫画和公众对强化议程的影响，并通过符号、讽刺和模仿提请注意漫画的说服力，以及纳斯特对其他漫画家的影响。
