In the “Governor’s room,” Theodore Roosevelt holds a large paper of “reform bills” that New York Governor Grover Cleveland signs. On the ground is a book of “law and order” and a newspaper that reads, “Cincinnati: The court, judges, and juries denounced by the people. Riots, blood, troops.” On the wall is a picture of Lady Justice, blindfolded and holding a scale and a sword; and a larger crest of a landscape with the word “reform” and “excelsior,” or ever onward, on it; all forming the Seal of the State of New York.
