This double-page cartoon was published in Harper’s Weekly between the time that Republicans and Democrats met in national conventions. Mounted on a huge Republican Elephant is the already-nominated Theodore Roosevelt, dressed in his Rough Rider uniform from the Spanish-American War. He smiles confidently, although the elephant looks down in alarm at the commotion stirred by the Democrats. The Democratic Donkey bucks as the conservatives (left) and progressives (right) try to grasp its reins and add a rider. William Jennings Bryan attempts to control the beast for his jockey, William Randolph Hearst. Jockey Alton B. Parker, the eventual nominee, is aided by his team, campaign treasurer August Belmont Jr. (who managed the Belmont Stakes horserace, established by his father) and campaign manager David B. Hill.
