Although Judge endorsed Republican Benjamin Harrison for reelection in 1892, this cartoon morally equates the political bosses of the two parties in New York State, Thomas C. Platt (left) for the Republicans and Senator David B. Hill (right) for the Democrats. In the background, both parties celebrate the selection of their respective presidential nominees—Harrison and Democrat Grover Cleveland—while Platt and Hill appear menacingly in the foreground as dangerous, sword-wielding bandits ready to steal the election from their national parties’ chosen leaders.
