EDITORS COMMENTS
The Good Doctor: Grover Cleveland Tends to a Sickly Democratic Donkey in this 1901 Puck Magazine Cartoon On January 16, 1901, former President Grover Cleveland was depicted as a compassionate healer in a Puck Magazine cartoon, titled "The Good Doctor." In this illustration, Cleveland is shown at the bedside of a sickly donkey labeled "Dem. Party," attending to it with a concerned expression. The donkey appears to be suffering from an undisclosed illness, with some sources suggesting it represents the failure of the Democratic Party in the presidential election or the political philosophy of William Jennings Bryan, known as "Bryanism." A table nearby is set with a spoon and a bowl, both labeled "First principles of Democracy," emphasizing the importance of adhering to the fundamental values of the Democratic Party during this time of political turmoil. Cleveland's calming presence and the symbolic use of the spoon and bowl convey a sense of hope and restoration. This cartoon was published during a significant period in American history, as the Democratic Party was dealing with the aftermath of losing the presidential election to Republican William McKinley in 1900. Cleveland, who had served as president from 1893 to 1897, was the last Democrat to win the White House before Woodrow Wilson in 1912. His appearance as a caring doctor in this cartoon symbolized the party's faith in his ability to help guide them through their struggles and restore their strength. The image of Grover Cleveland as the "Good Doctor" is an enduring symbol of political resilience and the power of healing during times of political adversity. This 1901 Puck Magazine cartoon remains an intriguing piece of American political history, offering a unique perspective on the role of leadership and the importance of upholding core values during times of political change.
