What you’re looking at

This is a political cartoon depicting a demonic or monstrous figure wearing striped clothing labeled "DEMOCRATIC PARTY" and a cape labeled "SPOILS." The creature has a grotesque head with horns and appears menacing. A "VOTE" ballot is visible on the ground. The satire attacks the Democratic Party, portraying it as corrupt and demonic, driven by desire for political "spoils" (patronage and power). The figure gestures threateningly while observers watch. The cartoon likely criticizes Democratic political practices—possibly related to machine politics, corruption, or patronage systems that were common concerns in late 19th/early 20th-century American politics. The title "EXPECTED" suggests this behavior was predictable or unsurprising to readers.
