# For president Horace Greeley of New York and for vice president Benjn. Gratz Brown of Missouri

Lithographed banner-print for the Greeley and Brown ticket, drawn by Henry Brueckner and printed by Svobodin Merinsky of New York. Greeley, with newsboys and a crowd, stands on the peace side; Grant's Civil War record is set on the war side, among cannon fire. Portraits of Washington and Lincoln frame the print, and its legend reads 'The pen is mightier than the sword'.
