The Tammany Tiger, wearing tattered clothing and a patch over the left eye, sits on the steps outside the entry to “Tammany Hall.” A sign on his lap states, “Please Help a Poor Tiger Until This Reform Wave Subsides,” and he holds a string attached to a small dog with the face of Charles A. Dana who has a small cup attached to his collar. A notice on the side of the building states, “Notice. Tammany Treasury Empty!!! Funds Badly Needed!”
