Description

"To begin with, 'I'll paint the town red", by Grant E. Hamilton, The Judge vol. 7, 31 January 1885.

Cartoon from the magazine "The Judge". "Democracy" is portrayed as the devil holding a bucket labeled "Bourbon Principles" and a paintbrush (in which appears a profile caricature of Grover Cleveland), both dripping red paint with which he plans to "paint the town"; he is standing on a wall overlooking a view of Washington, D.C. showing mostly government buildings, some already flying red flags: "Pension Dep't", "White House", "U.S. Treasur", "War Dep't".
