An ark labeled “Democratic Principles” has run aground in the receding waters of the flood near a landscape labeled “Republican Power.” The ark is full of Democrats labeled “Wilson, Parker, Watterson, Shepard, Johnson, Owen, Gray, Havens, Harmon, Tillman, Clark, Mack, Williams, Gore, Folk, [and] Gaynor.” Flying toward the ark is the Democratic donkey as a dove carrying a large tree branch labeled “Democratic Victories, Revolt Against the Tariff, [and] Reduced Republican Majorities.” Caption: It ought to be obvious by this time that the waters are receding.
