At center is a figure fashioned from quill pens, a drum labeled "Press", and newspapers labeled "Louisville Courier Journal, N.Y. Sun, Tribune, Herald, Advertiser, Times, [and] Cincinnati C[...]", holding a potted plant labeled "Arthuria Accidentalia"; a politician holding a spade labeled "Out of a Job" gestures toward the door of the greenhouse. In the background is the "White House". Among the plants are Rutherford B. Hayes, Thomas F. Bayard, Winfield Scott Hancock, George B. McClellan, Roscoe Conkling, Cyrus W. Field, Samuel J. Tilden, Allen G. Thurman, John Sherman, Ulysses S. Grant, Wayne MacVeagh, George F. Edmunds, William M. Evarts, Benjamin F. Butler, Abram S. Hewitt, Chester A. Arthur, James G.
