President William McKinley, standing, leads a toast to a dejected William Jennings Bryan, who is sitting in a chair labeled “Guest of Honor.” Seated around the table are, among others, Governor “Teddy” Roosevelt, Senator Mark “Hanna,” Benjamin B. “Odell,” Jr., and “Tim” Woodruff. Caption: Toastmaster McKinley. — Let us conclude our Thanksgiving Dinner with a toast to the man who made it so easy for us!

Comments and Context
The defeated Democrat presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, drawn in exaggerated vertical aspect, is “honored” as being the chief cause of the Republican celebration: his policies were toxic to voters. Other celebrants depicted include New York senators Chauncey Depew and Thomas Collier Platt, New York’s former governor Frank S Black, and Massachusetts Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. The depiction of Theodore Roosevelt is uncharacteristic — he never was known to have smoked, and he was a famous teetotaler.
