as evidenced by this Thomas Nast 1877 political cartoon

The headstone reads: Here lies the democratic Tiger, greatly mourned by the bereaved filibusters.
The cartoon caption reads: "Another such victory and I am undone" Pyrrhus
Pyrrhus, the author of the quote, was a king of ancient Epirus, after whom the term "Pyrrhic Victory"-meaning a costly win-was named.
