Grover Cleveland, former mayor of Buffalo and current governor of New York, is a bullfighter standing with his right foot on the head of a bison labeled “Buffalo Democracy” with one dart labeled “Veto Buffalo Fire Dept. Bill” stuck in its side. The weakened buffalo has collapsed on papers that state “Buffalo Politicians’ Demands,” and Cleveland’s red cape is labeled “Firmness.”
