Satirical representation of different political pathways


Two political paths' Evarts, Reid, Robeson, Logan, [and] Blaine and William W. Phelps standing on the remains of a bridge 'Washed Away by the Freshet of Nov. 1884' labelled 'Partisan Civil Service' and finding it difficult to get to the other side of the river. In the background, on a solid 'Civil Service Reform' bridge are President Cleveland, members of his cabinet, Carl Schurz, and others unidentified, one holding a sheet of paper labelled 'A Mugwump Engineer' and others holding a board labelled 'Tariff Reform'. In the upper left corner is a flag pole with a banner that states 'Non-Partisan Civil Service' and a municipal building labelled 'Good Government'.
