A political cartoon depicting pro-immigration ideals. The cartoon portrays Uncle Sam (the American mascot) tipping his hat to welcome newly arrived immigrants to the United States. Every immigrant portrayed in the political cartoon has a 5-cent coin for a head, representing that they are not arriving with much money and are looking for opportunity in the United States. Some of the immigrants are shown with chests and bags for items while some are not shown to have items at all. Because New York was the state where many immigrants arrived, the artist want to advocate that New Yorkers could help newly arrived immigrants gain their footing after they arrived.

A political cartoon portraying Mike McDonald (a wealthy gang leader who supported Benjamin Harrison’s campaign (Republican)) and Wayne MacVeagh (Grover Cleveland’s Attorney General (Democratic)) to represent the 1892 Presidential Election. In the cartoon, Wayne Macveagh is presented as a classy and formal gentleman while Mike McDonald is presented as a scoundrel who is informal, smokes, and carries a pistol. Because Mike McDonald was a prominent gang leader in Chicago, he is portrayed as bad. Behind Wayne Macveagh is a sign that reads “To Democracy” while Mike McDonald has a sign that reads “To The G.O.P”. The political cartoon takes a democratic stand as the artist presents Wayne Macveagh in a positive and rational manner while Mike McDonald is not. This political cartoon also represents how the New York World took a pro-democracy stand through its sources.

An article by Charles Bertand Lewis (M. Quad) in which he describes his experience in witnessing a young newsboy get his nose clipped by a larger boy. After observing the newsboy fish in a pond, he notes that he caught up with the newsboy later to witness him tackling a small boy. The story M. Quad tells seems to invoke human confidence and persistence (never giving up) but the moral is made unclear as M. Quad does not define who the boys are. Were the boys bullies? It is clear that M. Quad gives us an insight into the lifestyles and psychology of city boys in the late nineteenth century.

An article describing how Austrian authorities confiscated and slandered portraits and the escutcheon (a physical emblem, worth lots of money) of the Italian royal family. The article portrays the Italian royal family as victims and describes the Austrians as “abusive”. Clearly, the author is siding with the Italians. The article also describes how Prince Bismarck’s campaign to serve in the Reichstag of Geestemunde (The parliamentary building of the region of Geestemunde) as sparked discussion. The “sensation” that the author describes also creates uncertainty as Prince Bismarck’s governance over Geestemunde will not be certain until he is re-elected.

Originally published in Chicago, Illinois on October 31, 1890, this article describes how George Watkins, an African-American “lothario” was arrested for making threats to kill inside a building. According to the article, Sally White caused Laura Johnson to jump from a third-story window to escape getting shot. Consultants to the conviction of George Watkins include Principal Leech and Arthur Schiff, but the article is unclear in noting whether Watkins committed the crime. Race could potentially play a factor into this story because Watkins is African-American and Laura Johnson is white.
