The modern Cincinnatus, who will not leave his plough
Former president Grover Cleveland, as “Cincinnatus,” is working a field with a plow labeled “Domesticity.” An elderly woman labeled “Democracy” is standing in the field, holding a paper which states “Cleveland’s letter of retirement ‘Unalterable and Conclusive’.” She is perplexed as Cleveland gestures with his right hand for her not to approach him.
