The elephant-symbol of the Republican Party since 1874 - remembers that GOP stands for Grand Old Party, but increasingly, the elephant is standing alone. At least that's the thinking at The Wall Street Journal, which has decided to stop using the acronym to refer to the 148-year-old political party.o there's no Republican monopoly on that strain of GOP. As for the elephant, its status as party symbol appears to be safe. It dates back to a cartoon by legendary political cartoonist Thomas Nast, who in an 1874 issue of Harper's Weekly, depicted the Democrats as a donkey trying to scare a Republican elephant.
