| Description | Print shows a vignette cartoon with, at center, Uncle Sam and President Cleveland shaking hands, a portrait of Liliuokalani, Queen of Hawaii, is in the background; the surrounding vignettes feature a cast of characters, identified or referred to in the text as, "Croker", "Parkhurst", and "Tammany" reform, "Iago Manley" and "Othello Reed", "Peffer, Lease, Dana, Pulitzer, [and] Depew", Harrison sitting in his oversized top hat, and Thomas C. Platt turning a crank that manipulates George R. "Malby" as "Speaker" of the New York State Assembly, also David B. Hill sitting in an oversized "Senatorial Chair N.Y. State", and "McKinley" dressed as Napoleon I, riding a "War Tariff" rocking horse. Each scene includes "Valentines" text, such as this for "Peffer" and "Lease" each holding papers labeled "Speech": "From bleeding Kansas's wind-swept plains, / Where whiskers take the place of brains, / You come with all your verbose strength / Of speeches of unending length. / Here, take the hint Puck gives - resign! / Let Mary be your Valentine"; and this for McKinley: "McKinley Bill! McKinley Bill! / Why do you ride that hobby still? / The cause of pool, combine and trust, / And idle mill-wheels red with rust. / Mistaken Man! We'll never pine / For you to be our Valentine." |
