“‘Down Goes McGinty’ (Bryan)”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This cartoon parodies a popular comic song about a foolish Irishman who undergoes a series of mishaps culminating in a fall into the sea, where he dies. In 1892, Judge cartoonist Bernhard Gillam adapted the lyrics to depict the ill fate of that year’s Democratic presidential nominee, Grover Cleveland. Here, McGinty is the Democratic presidential nominee of 1900, William Jennings Bryan. As a shamrock slips out of his hand, the candidate struggles with his head barely above water. He is being pulled under by Tammany “Boss” Richard Croker and several sea creatures. |
