John Kelly, dressed as an old woman street vendor, sits at “Mrs. J. Kelly Political Fruit Stand,” selling “N.Y. Patronage Lemonade.” He has tossed to the gutter a lemon labeled “Edson” that shows the face of former Mayor of New York City, Franklin Edson. Whitelaw Reid leans around a corner at the end of the produce stand, where a notice has been pasted on the wall that states “City Hall Theatre. Passion Play. Judas – Edson.” Caption: A lemon that will never more contribute to the patronage bowl.
