Title: he can't beat his own record abstract: illustration shows james g. Blaine standing on a racetrack labeled "republican race track" in an arena, apparently frozen in position as his tattooed ghost races past him and a sign that states "presidential race against time - blaine to beat his own record". In the background is a tent with banner labeled "j. Blaine" and decked with floral wreaths that state "with compliments j. Gould" and "with compliments from c. Field", also one shaped like a horseshoe from "r. Sage". Whitelaw reid stands outide the tent, holding a bucket and a sponge labeled "tribune" and w. W. Phelps peaks through the flaps with a concerned look on his face. Among those in the grandstand on the left are almon m. Clapp, george m. Robeson, alonzo b. Cornell, john roach, and thomas j. Brady.
