Uncle Sam’s dismal swamp
Uncle Sam sits on a log in a swamp labeled “Spoils System” from which snakes labeled “Quayism, Bardsleyism, [and] Tannerism,” and noxious fumes rise in the form of shades labeled “Raumism – Pension Swindler, Crokerism, McLaughlinism, Tweedism, Prendergast – Political Assassin, [and] Guiteau – Political Assassin.” Also shown among the tree roots is Charles A. Dana. Caption: It will have to be drained to get rid of the noxious miasmas that arise from it.
