Summary: Illustration shows John Logan labeled 'New Leader' of the Republican Party, the 'party of Reform and Puritee', holding a paper that states 'Logan Speec[h] at Boston July 1885', standing in the street between the White House and the U.S. Treasury, leading a chorus of tramps identified as 'J. Gould, Field, Mahone, Roach, Riddleberger, T. Platt, Ex leader [James G. Blaine], Robeson, Keifer, Chandler, Brady, [and] Dorsey', and an unidentified blind man who looks like Benjamin F. Butler; some carry battered hand-pails labeled 'Empty Hopes'. On the U.S. Treasury is a sign 'Notice No Tramps' and on the White House, where President Cleveland is leaning out a window, is another sign that states 'No Tramps Admitted'. Uncle Sam, as a policeman, is leaning against the wall.
