Robeson shabbily dressed as a tramp, standing in a doorway; Joseph W. Keifer, as a small dog with a cap labeled "Speaker" tied to its tail, stands behind Robeson, and on the floor at his feet is a broken plate labeled "Appropriatons $182,496,018 Administration 1868-76"; he carries a club labeled "Repn. Leadership" and branded on palm of his left hand is the word "More". His appearance in the doorway frightens the "Old Women" of Congress who were gathered around a table, drinking tea. Depicted wearing women's dress are William Windom standing behind the door labeled "Congress", John P. Jones spilling a pot of tea, John Sherman fainting, John A. Logan labeled "306" and supporting Sherman, James D. Cameron also labeled "306", Frank Hiscock, George F. Edmunds, David Davis eating an "Independ Plum", Benjamin W. Harris and Abram S.
