"The Administration Typewriter" is a political cartoon by Bernard Gillam, published in Judge magazine, a notable satirical weekly of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The cartoon, which appeared during the period surrounding Grover Cleveland's second non-consecutive term as President of the United States, is a pointed commentary on Cleveland's political maneuvering and policy-making process. In the illustration, Cleveland is depicted as constructing his platform with the aid of a typewriter, a metaphor for the mechanized and systematic approach to his political agenda.

The cartoon reflects the public and media scrutiny that Cleveland faced during his time in office, particularly as he sought to differentiate his second administration from his first. The use of the typewriter, then a relatively modern invention, suggests a blend of innovation and bureaucracy, possibly critiquing the president's approach as formulaic or impersonal. Bernard Gillam, known for his sharp and often biting political commentary, uses visual allegory to engage with the political discourse of the time, highlighting the intersection of technology, policy, and presidential politics.

"The Administration Typewriter" serves as a historical artifact, providing insight into the political climate of the late 19th century, the public perception of Grover Cleveland's presidency, and the role of political cartoons in shaping and reflecting public opinion. As with many of Gillam's works, the cartoon is rich with symbolism and ripe for analysis, offering a window into the era's political satire and the broader cultural context of the Gilded Age.
