William E. Chandler appears as a store clerk at the “Republican Misfit Clothing Company” helping David B. Hill purchase some new clothes. Hill is trying on a new coat that has a large golden medal labeled “McKinleyism” hanging from the lapel. The coat is too big for him, though Chandler tells him it fits perfectly. Hill’s old coat, with a ribbon that states “D.B.H. I am a Democrat,” is lying on a chair between them. Caption: Mister Chandler–Mein cracious, Meester Hill; it fits you like de paper on de vall!
