Summary

Description
English: A frowning Horace Greeley wearing ermine robes holds an odd sort of spear in his right hand and a document which says "WHAT I KNOW ABOUT TWISTING. H.G." is sticking out of his left coat pocket. Ulysses S. Grant looks up and back at him from reading the "N. Y. MISREPRESENTER" with a concerned look on his face.
