Alton B. Parker sits in a chair strapped to the back of David B. Hill, who is carrying him up a narrow, treacherous, rocky trail on the edge of a mountain “to [the] St. Louis Convention.” Hill’s walking stick, labeled “Trickery” and “Peanut Politics,” has been broken and mended. Caption: Parker — I think I’ll get out and walk.

Comments and Context

With the Democratic National Convention only weeks away, and the presidential nomination its main order of business, the dark horse boosted by Puck and other conservative Democrats was looking like a sure bet. Appeals Court Judge Alton B. Parker was the darkest of dark horses: having never served in an elected executive office; without a constituency or party base; and an advocate of few known positions. But, he was not William Jennings Bryan, whose waning power was still dreaded by mainline Democrats.
