Father Knickerbocker, a symbolic figure for New York City, tosses an old man with a long beard out of a building labeled “N.Y. City.” Papers labeled “Anti Local Option, Blue Laws, Hayseed Legislation, [and] Anti Home Rule Laws” fall out of his hat labeled “Hayseed Legislator.” Sitting on the ground outside the building is Richard Croker, the Tammany Hall boss, rubbing his head. The State House labeled “Albany” is visible in the distance. Caption: He got rid of Tammany rule, and now, if he gets rid of Hayseed rule, he will be ready for home rule.
