Print shows Benjamin F. Butler standing on a stage dressed as a clown, a list of nominations for the 1884 presidential election trails from his pocket: "Last ... Greenback ... Convict Party ... Tewksbury Pauper ... Women's Suffrage ... His own nomination"; next to him Belva Lockwood has emerged through a hole in the stage floor carrying over her head a scroll announcing the "Nomination for Pres. Women's Rights Party."
