Title: Loco Foco scramble for collectors licenses
Related Names:
Robinson, Henry R., d. 1850.
Date Created/Published: N.Y. : Printed & pubd. by H.R. Robinson, 1838.
Summary: Democratic patronage in New York is parodied in a scene of Loco Foco drivers or carmen rushing for cab licenses distributed by recently appointed collector of the port, Democratic stalwart Jesse Hoyt. Hoyt replaced former collector Samuel Swartwout, who had been friendly to Whig and conservative interests. Hoyt stands at the entrance to the Custom House, center and symbol of Tammany corruption in the city. He hands out licenses to Loco Foco drivers, who carry whips of 'Old Hickory' (a reference to party patriarch Andrew Jackson). The drivers shout 'Hurrah! for Van Buren' and 'Loco Foco for ever!' A cart with the number 1838 and 'Licensed by the Collector' stands nearby.
