Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Printed & publd. by H.R. Robinson, 1836.
Summary: A comic scene representing two New York city political factions, the Whigs and the radical Democrats (or 'Loco Focos'), as scuffling newsboys. The scene takes place before the half-built Customs House, where several newsboys and a black chimney sweep are gathered watching a scrap involving a ragged youth selling 'loco foco' matches and another newsboy. The match-seller raises his fist and threatens, 'Oh! you d---d Whiggy.' The latter, striking him, 'I'll loco poke you.' On the left three of the newsboys hold Democratic newspapers the 'New York Evening Post' and the 'New Era,' and a copy of radical reformer Frances ('Fanny') Wright's lectures. One says, with a sidelong glance at the unfortunate match-seller, 'I told him he had better not fight.' The chimney sweep taunts them, 'Does Fanny know you're out?' On the right, a second group of newsboys, holding copies of Whig journals, the 'Transcript, Morning Courier and New York Enquirer, Gazette,' and the 'Evening Star,' cheer on the winning fighter.
