What you’re looking at

This cartoon by Puck (signed "Paderinger") depicts a steamship at dock with two figures on deck. The visible text references "The Cleveland Cabinet," suggesting this satirizes President Grover Cleveland's administration. The cartoon appears to show the ship as a metaphor for the government, with the two figures likely representing cabinet members or political figures. The "ticket" visible in the lower right corner suggests commentary on political appointments or removals. The satirical point seems to concern instability or turnover within Cleveland's cabinet—a common criticism of his administration. Without clearer identification of the specific figures or the exact date, the precise targets remain unclear, though the maritime metaphor suggests the "ship of state" is in questionable condition.
