The arrest of "Boss Tweed"-another good joke. The Shadow of Justice. "I'll make some of you cry yet."

In a paragraph, interpret the message of this Thomas Nast political cartoon, which shows Boss Tweed
laughing as he is being arrested while the Shadow of Justice looks on. Be sure to read the captions
carefully and consider what each character in the cartoon might represent. In particular, what is
suggested by the words of Sheriff Brennan and the Shadow of Justice?
