    In an 1897 issue of Judge, one cartoonist, Victor Gillam, used baseball to depict arguments among senators during a tumultuous session of Congress. Titled “The Kickers,” using an old expression for those who argue or complain with the umpire, Gillam’s piece features Uncle Sam as an exasperated arbiter who is surrounded by the truculent senators. President (or “Captain”) William McKinley, Secretary of State John Sherman, House Speaker Thomas Reed, Iowa Senator William Allison, chairman of the Senate Republic Conference, and Maine Congressman Nelson Dingley, Jr., who introduced the legislation as the chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, all remain nearby, helpless to control the situation and wondering what the fuss is all about.
    This piece was bought on line several months ago and I’ve enjoyed it every day. I love the early Baseball look and the Expression of Uncle Sam. Doesn’t mater what side your on there is something here for everyone.
