To: Hebrews 11:6

Shortly before the 1884 election, a supporter of the Republican nominee James G. Blaine denounced the Democrats as the party of “rum, Romanism, and rebellion.” That remark was believed to have offended Catholic voters. When Grover Cleveland narrowly won the election, it was said that he had slain the opposition with the jawbone of an ass.
