The tattooed legs and bottom of James G. Blaine and the tail of a dog labeled “We Claim Everything – Me & Jack” appear in a lake next to a bar of soap labeled “Hurrah Soap – to Remove Tattoo.” They had been sitting on a board labeled “Soap Campaign,” which has broken, dumping them into the lake. Roscoe Conkling observes from the weeds in the upper right.
