James Gillespie Blaine, dressed like a farmer with a patch labeled “Vindication” on his pants, stands next to John Alexander Logan who is dressed as a girl. They are on a beach looking out to sea, watching the waves labeled “Revolt, Revolt in Connecticut, Iowa Doubtful, Ohio Uncertain, Michigan Doubtful,” and “Wisconsin, N. Jersey, [and] Indiana” are going “Democratic.” Blaine is holding a rope attached to an anchor labeled “To Windward.”
