Democrat:
In 1828, his detractors labeled President Andrew Jackson a "jackass". The
unflattering characterization was co-opted by Jackson, who turned the
donkey's stubbornness, strength and unpolished manners strength into
political virtues. In 1870 Thomas Nast, the best-known political cartoonist
of his time, used the donkey to embody the Democratic Party in an
illustration for Harper's Weekly. Nast used the Democratic donkey motif in
subsequent cartoons and by 1880 it was widely recognized as the unofficial
mascot of the Democracy. BTW: During the New Deal of the 1930s, progressive
Republicans who supported some or all of President Franklin Roosevelt's
relief, recovery and reform measures were dubbed "sons of the wild jackass"
by conservative Republican senator George Moses.
Republican:
The elephant is, like the donkey, the creation of 19th-century cartoonist
Thomas Nast. In a November 1874 Harper's Weekly cartoon, Nast depicted a
Democratic donkey wearing a lion's skin frightening other "political
animals," including an elephant representing the Republican vote. Nast used
the elephant in later cartoons to stand in for the GOP; eventually the
Republican Party adopted the elephant as its official symbol or service mark.

This question gets asked over and over here. Once more, the political cartoonist Thomas Nast chose them in the mid-1800's to represent the parties.

Looks like others got the answer right - I'd suggest we change them both to pigs, feeding at the trough.

That is not a "mule". It is a "jackass". There is a difference.
