"They Can't Keep Him Hid" is a satirical political cartoon by Louis Dalrymple, depicting a skeletal figure representing "Scandal" pushing open a door labeled "Republican Family Closet" with a group of men desperately trying to keep it shut. This cartoon, published in Puck magazine, is a commentary on political corruption and scandals, with a critical perspective on the Republican party. The use of caricature and symbolism in the artwork is a classic example of American political cartooning from the late 19th century.
