Samuel J. “Delilah” Randall sits in a chair labeled “Protection,” holding scissors labeled “41 Democrats” in one hand and hair labeled “Tariff Reform Bill” in the other, his feet resting on a tiger skin. “Samson,” labeled “Democracy,” is standing at center. A club on the floor at his feet is labeled “The Peoples’ Confidence.” Roman soldiers, under the standard labeled “Republicans,” approach an entrance on the right.
