Um wrong. It's from Nast's cartoon in Harpers Weekly showing the donkey clothed in a lions skin (representing an anti-civil war faction) , scaring away all the animals at the zoo. One of these animals, the elephant, was labeled "The Republican Vote", which is hardly the complementary depiction you claim it to be.
