EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Rival Pulpiteers," dates back to May 10, 1905, and was published by Mary Evans Prints Online. The image depicts a lively scene inside a church, where the Democratic Donkey, symbolizing the Democratic Party, is portrayed as a woman sitting in a pew. At the pulpit on the right, William Jennings Bryan delivers a passionate speech on Jeffersonian Simplicity. To Bryan's right, we find Alton B. Parker, Henry Watterson, and William Randolph Hearst, all engaged in preaching to the congregation. Hearst, however, is shown looking up to his fellow speakers, perhaps in admiration or consideration. On the left side of the pulpit, George B. McClellan, Jr. and three other men are also preaching, their voices contributing to the rich tapestry of ideas and beliefs filling the church. In the background, a beautiful stained glass window labeled "Our Thomas" illuminates the space, casting a warm, golden light on the scene and highlighting the image of Thomas Jefferson. In a far corner of the church, Grover Cleveland, the President at the time, is seen peacefully sleeping, seemingly at ease with the passionate debates unfolding before him. The sun streaming in through the stained glass window adds a sense of tranquility and hope to the scene, symbolizing the enduring nature of the democratic process and the power of diverse perspectives to shape the future of the nation.
