Thomas Collier Platt kneels on the right, praying, as a bolt of lightning labeled “Citizens Union” strikes at his feet from a storm cloud showing the face of Seth Low. He is back to back with Richard Croker, on the left, who is struck by a bolt of lightning labeled “Henry George Party” coming from a dark cloud showing the face of Henry George. The jolt knocks off Croker’s hat.
