"Tammany Tiger Loose" refers to a political cartoon by Thomas Nast that symbolizes the rampant corruption and power of Tammany Hall, the Democratic political machine in New York City during the late 19th century. The imagery of a tiger represents the ferocity and predatory nature of the political organization, which was known for its manipulation and control over the city's politics. This phrase became emblematic of the struggle against corruption in American politics.
In the classic political cartoon of November 11, 1871, the figure of Columbia (the Republic) has been mauled by the Tammany Tiger (Boss Tweed's political machine), with her sword (power) broken and her shield (the Law) torn beneath her.
