David B. Hill is caught in a large claw-type animal trap labeled “Nomination for N.Y. Governorship.” A sign posted next to the trap states, “This trap was set by David B. Hill to catch an Anti-Snapper.” Two groups of men are standing to the right and left. Among them are Charles S. Fairchild, Carl Schurz, Edward M. Shepard, William R. Grace, and Oswald Ottendorfer. They are laughing at him.
