Here, Brother Jonathan (a precursor to Uncle Sam) approves the results of the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis, which he views as offering a difficult challenge for the upcoming Republican gathering in Chicago to better. The cartoonist adopts the common circus metaphor to illustrate the world of politics, designating the Democratic meeting as the “Great Moral Circus.” (The term is probably meant here with little or no negative connotation, especially compared to Thomas Worth’s pejorative "The Great Democratic Moral Show,” from the 1880 campaign.) |
