# Splitting the party - the entering wedge

Anti-Greeley lithograph signed J. Cameron and published by Currier & Ives. Grant stands on a rock labelled 'Republican Party'; Carl Schurz swings a mallet marked 'Cincinnati nomination' at Greeley, wedged in a split in the rock between bags labelled 'Free Trade' and 'Protection'. Tammany figures (Hall, Sweeny, Tweed, Hoffman) kneel at left and Dana, Sumner, Trumbull and Gratz Brown crouch at right, with speech balloons such as 'Any thing to beat Grant'.
