They Saw Their Flying Dutchman - It Crossed Their Path, and They Were Lost
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Political Shipwreck of 1885 On November 11, 1885, American politics was in turmoil as the country witnessed a political storm that left many prominent figures shipwrecked in their careers. This illustration, titled "They Saw Their Flying Dutchman - It Crossed Their Path, and They Were Lost," depicts the aftermath of a political disaster, with the figurehead of James G. Blaine, the Speaker of the House of Representatives and former Secretary of State, at the helm of a shipwreck labeled "Speeches." The sails of the ship are made of the "Bloody Shirt," a reference to the bloody uniform of a Union soldier used in a campaign speech given by Blaine during the 1884 presidential election. The chaos in the illustration is palpable as men cling to the wreckage of the ship, some in the sea, and many on the rocks. Among the identified figures are Senators Thomas E. Campbell, George F. Edmunds, and John Sherman, as well as Representatives Thomas B. Catlin, James G. Davenport, and John A. Logan. Other notable figures include Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New York Tribune, holding a bottle labeled "Tribune Editorial Solace," and Joseph Pulitzer, editor of the New York World, depicted as a bird. The cause of this political shipwreck was the scandals that plagued the administration of President Grover Cleveland. The most significant was the Whiskey Ring scandal, which involved the misappropriation of federal taxes on whiskey. Several members of Cleveland's cabinet, including Blaine, were implicated in the scandal, leading to a loss of public trust and confidence in the administration. The illustration serves as a reminder of the political upheaval of the time and the consequences of losing the public's trust.
