The cover of the next to last Harper’s Weekly issue before the November 3 election depicts (left-right) Eugene Debs, Congressman Benjamin Tillman, William Jennings Bryan, the Tammany Tiger, and Tom Watson as wind-up toys that have “About Run Down.” In the center foreground, the Bryan figure resembles a demented boy whose “bunco dollar” cymbals are “slightly damaged” and “marked down.” The pedestal refers to Bryan’s speaking tour during which he became the first major-party candidate to electioneer personally throughout the campaign—“Warranted for 90 Days.” His youth and speaking ability had already earned him the nickname, “Boy Orator of the Platte,” although critics observed that the Platte River was very shallow. |
