President Roosevelt wears a sultan’s turret, sits in the “White House,” and holds a rope attached to a Republican elephant. David B. Hill—”I am a Democrat”—is depicted as a rooster and stands on top of “Wolfert’s Roost.” In the background, a large sun with Alton B. Parker’s face and “safe and sane” rays shines while a “Bryanism” cloud covers part of the sun.
