EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and thought-provoking print captures a large group of individuals in fierce opposition to President Cleveland's civil service reform agenda in 1885. Dressed as Native Americans, politicians, newspaper editors, Tammany Hall bosses, and others are depicted marching against the tide of progress.
The banner they carry shows a crude drawing of the Tammany tiger labeled as the "Flathead Tribe," symbolizing their resistance to change. In the background, we see the "Blainiac Reservation" and President Cleveland and his cabinet laying tracks for the "Reform R.R.," representing their determination to push forward with their agenda despite facing strong opposition.
This illustration serves as a reminder of the complexities of politics and power struggles that have always been present throughout history. It highlights how different factions can come together in unity against a common enemy, even if their methods may be questionable.
As we reflect on this image from over a century ago, it prompts us to consider how far we have come in terms of civil service reform and political transparency. It also serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of resisting change for personal or political gain.
