EDITORS COMMENTS
Professor Hadley's Disappointment: The Matter with Quay, Croker, and Platt In this thought-provoking cartoon from Puck magazine, published on January 24, 1900, Professor Arthur Twining Hadley of Yale University finds himself expressing a common sentiment towards politics and politicians of the time. As he gazes at a group portrait featuring Matthew Quay on the left, Richard Croker seated in the center, and Thomas Collier Platt on the right, Hadley is shown expressing his disappointment and asking the mischievous Puck, "What's the matter with these gentlemen? Don't they measure up to my ideals for politicians?" The trio of politicians depicted in the portrait were well-known figures in American politics during the late 19th century. Matthew Quay served as a U.S. Senator from Pennsylvania, Richard Croker was the boss of the Tammany Hall political machine in New York City, and Thomas Collier Platt was a U.S. Senator from New York. These men were often criticized for their involvement in corrupt practices and questionable dealings, which likely contributed to Hadley's disillusionment. The cartoon serves as a reminder of the public's growing frustration with the moral decay and lack of integrity in American politics during this era. Professor Hadley's ideals for politicians were likely rooted in honesty, integrity, and a commitment to the greater good, which seemed to be in short supply among the political elite of the time. This image, with its sharp wit and social commentary, offers a glimpse into the complexities of American politics at the turn of the 20th century and the ongoing struggle to maintain the integrity of the political process.
