EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history, showcasing President Rutherford B. Hayes taking a bold stand against the corrupt practice of influence peddling within the U. S. Civil Service. Created by renowned American cartoonist C. S. Reinhart in 1877, this artwork vividly depicts Hayes as a determined guardian, standing firm at the entrance and barring these unscrupulous individuals from infiltrating the system. The image portrays Hayes with unwavering resolve, holding a gun to symbolize his commitment to defending the integrity of civil service appointments. The influence peddlers are depicted as shadowy figures attempting to gain access through bribery and manipulation, but they are met with staunch resistance from the president. This cartoon represents an important chapter in American politics during that era when political patronage and spoils systems were prevalent. It highlights Hayes' dedication to reforming this corrupt system and promoting merit-based appointments instead. Notable figures such as Thomas Collier Platt, Roscoe Conkling, Birchard A. Hayes (the president's brother), and others can be seen among those being halted by President Hayes' strong stance against their unethical practices. Overall, this thought-provoking artwork serves as both entertainment and historical documentation of an influential period in American politics when one man dared to challenge entrenched interests for the greater good of public service reform.
