“William Jennings Bryan and His Cabinet”
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
This Judge cartoon envisions the gang of political crooks and misfits who will be appointed to the cabinet if Democrat William Jennings Bryan is elected president. On the far left is Jeremiah “Sockless Jerry” Simpson, a former Populist congressman (1891-1895 and 1897-1899), who is the postmaster general. When he ran for Congress in 1890, his opponent claimed that Simpson was only a country rube with no socks. He turned the insult into a popular nickname on his way to election victory. New York City Mayor Robert Van Wyck is the secretary of agriculture and holds an ice saw symbolizing his role in the Tammany Hall Ice Trust scandal. With his arm around the mayor is Richard Croker, the corrupt boss of Tammany Hall, who is secretary of the treasury. President Bryan’s Tammany collar and small stature indicate that he will be controlled by his cabinet members. John Peter Altgeld earned a radical reputation while governor of Illinois (1893-1897) by pardoning three anarchists jailed for participation in the Haymarket Riot and for opposing the use of federal troops during the Pullman Strike of 1894. Here, Altgeld is dressed as a bandit for his position as the U.S. attorney general. |
