This Judge cartoon by Eugene Zimmerman is a sequel to his “Shoeing the Old Democratic Mule.” Here, the cartoonist argues that even after being defeated in three consecutive presidential elections, the Democrats are too ideologically divided to give the party much hope for the near future. In the left foreground sits David B. Hill on a rolled-up “Jeffersonianism” sleeping bag. The campaign manager of the unsuccessful Democratic presidential nominee in 1904, Alton B. Parker, Hill had announced during the campaign that he would retire from politics at the end of the year. The former New York governor, senator, and state party boss sheds a tear as he looks at Parker’s portrait. The feather in his cap reading, “What Am I?” is a pun on his famous remark of partisan loyalty, “I am a Democrat.”
