David B. Hill appears as a strong man on a stage in a theater, wearing a suit stuffed with straw and medals that state, “I am a Democrat, From Liquor Dealors, [and] Champion of Peanut Politics.” Weights lying around him, also stuffed with straw, are labeled “Powerful Influence Against Cleveland, Anti-Reform Club, Strength with the New York Machine, [and] Hill’s Presidential Prospects.” Edward Murphy Jr. is standing at the “Box Office” in the background and William E. Chandler is the only person in the audience. Caption: [S]tuffed “Strong Man” … Dave Hill / [Trea]surer … Ed. Murphy / [Applau]se Furnished by … Bill Chandler
