Summary: Illustration shows Puck\'s stereotypical Irishman labeled \'Democracy\' in the role of \'Bottom\' from Shakespeare\'s \'Midsummer Night\'s Dream\', with Puck holding the head of an ass above him. He is holding a paper that states \'Free Protection for Revenue Only. Free Revenue Reform for Protection Only. To the Civil Service Reformers belong the Spoils!!!\' A host of fairies, insects, and minions of the night are gathered around him, including Theodore Roosevelt as a fairy standing on a snail labeled \'N.Y. City Reform\', John Logan as a mushroom, John Kelly as a spider on a web labeled \'N.Y.\', William Evarts as a bird with a long beak, unidentified man as a frog, James Blaine and George Robeson as owls, David Davis, Samuel J. Tilden as a grasshopper, Roscoe Conkling as a bird, Whitelaw Reid labeled \'3 cts\' and another man labeled \'2 cts\' as moths, and a diminutive Chester A. Arthur peering from behind Bottom\'s feet. Jay Gould appears as a snake in the bushes. Among the fairies are \'Randall, Carlisle, Dana, Cleveland, Cox\', and Henry Watterson. Uncle Sam and Columbia observe from behind a tree. Includes Bottom\'s lines \'I have had a dream - past the wit of men to say what dream it was. ... But man is but a patched fool if he will offer to say what methought I had\' from the play.
