Benjamin F. Butler appears as a Chinese man sitting on a pedestal next to a pillar on the left that states “A Goodman Weighing 250 lbs.” and a paper lantern labeled “It Shines Only for US” on the right. In front of the pedestal is Charles A. Dana, also as a Chinese man, burning papers that state “Gen. Butler would not take fees from poor widows; he prefers monopolists’ fees,” “Anecdotes of Butler’s kind heart,” “Butler’s popularity,” “Butler’s statesmanship,” and “Butler’s praises.” A notice hanging on the wall on the right has been crossed out. It was published in the “New York Sun, September 17th, 1878,” and refers to Butler’s jump from the Democratic Party.
