No Welcome for the Little Stranger
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Political Cartoon from 1885 Depicting Grover Cleveland and the Civil Service Reform This political cartoon, titled "No Welcome for the Little Stranger," was published on October 21, 1885, and is a powerful illustration of the political climate during Grover Cleveland's first term as the Governor of New York. The image, which can be found in the extensive collection of Mary Evans Prints Online, shows Cleveland standing in the center, cradling an infant labeled "Civil Service Reform." Surrounding him are a group of angry old men, representing various political figures of the time, including Hube Thompson, Eddie Hedden, Davy Hill, Hugh, Joe Blackburn, Charlie Dana, Eustis, Johnnie McLean, Pulitzer, AP Gorman, and Johnnie K, as well as an old woman labeled "Hendricks." The scene takes place between two houses, with the Republican Home labeled "No Civil Service Infants Wanted Here" on the left and the Democratic Home "Restored in 1884" on the right. The cartoon's title, "No Welcome for the Little Stranger," refers to the resistance Cleveland faced from the Republican Party during his efforts to reform the civil service. The illustration powerfully conveys the animosity and opposition Cleveland faced during his campaign for civil service reform. The old men, representing the political establishment, are shown as unwelcoming and hostile towards the idea of change, symbolized by the infant "Civil Service Reform." The cartoon serves as a reminder of the challenges Cleveland faced during his political career and the importance of persevering in the face of adversity to bring about positive change.
