DescriptionHarper's Weekly - June 16, 1888 - "The Great Moral Circus" in which Cleveland is depicted as "The Strong Man of the East" easily lifting a barbell of "public land for the people" and "civil service reform" and out-pulling two horses, reigning in legislative extravagance, as the government [personified as Brother Jonathan (a precursor to Uncle Sam)] peers on. Also depicted is Cleveland's defeat of the G.O.P in 1884 and his vice presidential running mate, Allen Thurman, noted as "The Old Roman".
