The council at Esopus—The learned doctors and the ailing mule

A number of men stand around an ailing mule with two brands: “W. J. B. 1900” and “W. J. B. 1896.” Alton B. Parker tries to feed the mule “Parker golden corn” and ponders, “I wonder will he swallow this?” William Francis Sheehan has a telegram, August Belmont holds “clippers,” William Bourke Cockran has “ginger,” David B. Hill holds a “whip,” and Patrick Henry McCarren holds a “knife.” Henry Gassaway Davis comes running toward the mule and says, “I’ve got the remedy.” The train at the “Esopus Station” has smoke that reads, “from West Virginia.”
