women, and children to vote their "Ticket in the South"; white men soldiers loading a cannon representing "General Grant giving
the Rebel Copperhead Democrats some more grape"; Jefferson Davis fleeing in his "wife's petticoats"; "Johnson on a "Bender,"
after the Impeachment Trials; a skull and cross bones to symbolize that "Copperheads and Rebel Democrats are Poison"; and
