An Irish pig labeled “Parnell,” carrying a shillelagh labeled “Obstruction,” walks down a road with leashes attached to a nose ring on the Marquess of “Salisbury” and on the former British Prime Minister William E. Gladstone, who is crawling on his hands and knees. Caption: “The result of the late elections in England practically gives the Parnellites the balance of power between the Liberals and the Conservatives.”
