Below them, papers are stuffed into a white top hat mentioning "the Harrison family civil service list" and "lots of us and don't you forget it!"); "A Banner that Appeals to Common-Sense and Conscience" (shows four democrats parading with a large banner of Grover Cleveland and A.G. Thurman stating "Reform and Victory." The democrats marching are wearing sashes labeled "progressive democrat," "old line democrat," "Mugwump," and "granger." Behind them, crowds of people are cheering and waving U.S. flags); "The Parade of the 'Boys'" (shows two vignettes of men lined up to receive money from "Morton's Bar'l" and a solider with a oversized check book. Beside him, a short Harrison is seen wearing an oversized top hat covering half of his face and labeled "Grand Papa's Hat."
