In this political cartoon, I see a group of men positioned appropriately in a circle or ring. They are all pointing to the next man standing next to him. On the bottom it reads, "Who stole the money?" and then it reads "'Twas him." They are standing in a circle shape because the cartoon is representing the Anti-Tweed Ring Satire. I also noticed that all of the men seem to be angry, tired and they had fatigue. They seem to be angry with each other.
The illustrator did not like Tammany Hall. Just looking at the cartoon you could clearly depict that he pretty much hated them. He illustrated the men, having big heads maybe because they were selfish. Also, there were four men that were sketched in a darker color and they were bigger. They must have represented the leaders of the political machine.
