Description |
Jacob Sharp, holding an empty checkbook with "I Forget Everything" written on the side, says "I Can't Remember"; he appears to be drunk, but there is a jug labeled "Pure Milk" sitting on a counter next to him. Three men (New York Senator Roscoe Conkling, Michigan Representative Aaron T. Bliss, and an third unidentified figure) stand behind him, raising his arm. The cartoon satirizes Senatorial investigations of a corruption scandal. |
