The U.S. hotel badly needs a “bouncer”

In the lobby of the “U.S. Hotel,” Uncle Sam and Puck sit behind the front desk on the left. At center is Chester Alan Arthur as the “U.S. Hotel Presidential Bouncer” who is clearing the lobby of agitators. Among them are Patrick “Egan,” Johann “Most,” Patrick Joseph “Sheridan,” Justus “Schwab,” and “O’Donovan Rossa,” with Charles “Parnell” standing just outside the door looking in. A notice on the wall states “U.S. Hotel – Rules and Regulations – Guests are Required to Preserve Order – No Bomb-Throwing; No Incendiary Talk; No Communism; No Fenianism.”
