Nast's cartoon refers to the New York Herald's request that Cleveland reveal his cabinet choices or some of the policies of his upcoming administration, since it was only a month before his inauguration. In a February 3, 1885 story, The Herald stated that there is 'confusion and demoralization in Congress' because the President-elect was not acting as a leader to his party. The paper insisted that Democratic senators and congressmen were afraid to discuss or vote on anything because they did not want to offend or alienate any potential cabinet members.
