Columbia (female personification of the usa) stands before a wall separating two groups. On the left is boss tweed reaching into a bag with three companions standing beside him: an arch behind is labeled "school for thieves". On the right are the liberal republicans: thomas w. Tipton, carl schurz, lyman trumbull, horace greeley, reuben fenton and one other: an arch behind is labeled "school for scandal". Both factions are identified with the mcclellan-vallandigham campaign of 1864: "1864 - anything to beat a. Lincoln; 1872 - anything to beat u. S. Grant". Date: 4 May 1872.
