God Grant Us Peace / We Shall See More Rads 'Bottled Up' in November

God Grant Us Peace / We Shall See More Rads 'Bottled Up' in November

Double placard proof: a Grant portrait headed 'God Grant Us Peace' beside a Seymour portrait headed 'We Shall See More Rads "bottled up" in November.' Library of Congress notes the pun on Seymour's name and that 'bottled up' may allude to rumours of Grant's drinking that Democrats used in 1868; it is unclear whether the Grant panel was meant seriously.
