President Cleveland, at the helm labeled “Congress” of a yacht labeled “Repeal,” races against British Prime Minister William E. Gladstone who is holding an oar labeled “House of Commons Majority” and piloting a boat labeled “Home Rule.” Gladstone’s boat has a broken spar and is bumping up against debris labeled “Opposition of the House of Lords” floating in the water. Caption: “Home Rule” is a good boat, but “Repeal” gets over the course a good deal quicker.
