Use the political cartoon to answer the question.
A cartoon shows a ghostly-looking man in a striped suit standing in a jail cell. The man wears a gleaming diamond around his neck. He leans against a sign that shows Justice sitting blindfolded on a throne labeled, "New York." Men in suits pile bags of money in Justice's lap. A caption at the top of the sign reads, "Bribery and Corruption." A caption at the bottom of the sign reads, "Right under her nose every day of the week." The cartoon's caption reads, "The Spirit of Tweed is Mighty Still." Thomas Nast's signature is visible in the lower right corner of the cartoon.
The spirit of Tweed is mighty still.
