This cartoon directly contrasts the two major-party presidential nominees. On the left, voters are reminded that Republican William McKinley served as a Union major during the Civil War, and are told that his candidacy likewise upholds national honor. On the right, they are urged to consider the youth (36) and inexperience of Democrat William Jennings Bryan, who is depicted as a baby playing with a noisy rattle.
