"Gentlemen," reads the caption, "cannot you persuade the white members of your party South, to cease these persecutions of your brethren?" At the time, the Southern branch of the Democratic party remained hostile to voting and civil rights for African Americans. While some African Americans in the Northwest were moving away from the Republican Party, which they saw as failing to protect those rights, this cartoon made clear that the Democrats offered no refuge for African American voters.

Wells" href="http://songswithoutwords.org/items/show/202">Ida B. Wells</a> to prominence as an anti-lynching activist. Under a banner that reads “Our Republic Can Only Exist So Long as Its Citizens Respect and Obey Their Self-Imposed Laws,” the symbolic figure of Justice simultaneously halts a lynching and renders retaliation unnecessary. “Take not the law into your own hands, for where will that end?” she asks.

In this image, members of the Ku Klux Klan cower behind a tree, from which one lynch victim hangs, as a second man flees to safety. The caption emphasizes the persistence of violence in the South, its “daily or rather nightly occurrence.” Uncle Sam and a Union soldier advance with rifles and bayonet in hand, a reference to the government’s power, during military Reconstruction at least, to suppress mob violence.
