David B. Hill is a golfer trying to play a tough lie. His club, labeled “Peanut Politics,” is broken; his ball, labeled “Presidential Hopes,” is in a hole; and the flag is at the top of a hill with three bunkers labeled “Dishonest Methods, Snap Conventions, [and] Petty Tricks” in the way. Charles A. Dana, carrying a golf bag labeled “N.Y. Sun,” stands nearby as the caddie. In the background is a large building labeled “Tammany” and on the green is the White House. Caption: A hard and hopeless game for Davy.
