July 4, 1900: The Chaos of the Chicago Platform Applied in St. Louis - A Puck Magazine Illustration This powerful and provocative illustration from Puck Magazine, published on July 4, 1900, captures the political turmoil and violence surrounding the implementation of the Chicago Platform during the Democratic National Convention in St. Louis. The image features a jubilant William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic nominee for Vice President, seated atop a donkey labeled "Democracy," with a long, sad face beneath. Bryan, with a wide grin and waving his hat, appears to be encouraging the chaos unfolding in the background. The scene is set in the midst of a violent riot, with an angry mob overturning a streetcar and gunshots and explosions filling the air. The caption beneath the illustration reads, "The Chicago Platform Applied in St. Louis." The Chicago Platform, adopted during the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in 1896, called for free silver coinage, a tariff for revenue only, and the direct election of Senators. The illustration serves as a stark reminder of the contentious political climate during this period, as the country grappled with economic issues and the shifting political landscape. The image was created by renowned political cartoonist Joseph Keppler for Puck Magazine, a publication known for its biting political satire and commentary. This illustration is an essential piece of American political history, providing a glimpse into the tumultuous events of the past and the enduring power of political cartoons as a means of expressing public opinion and shaping political discourse.
