A hard job with the hogs' President Cleveland as a pig farmer getting tangled in leashes attached to the hind legs of several hogs, each with a distinctive brand, labelled 'Hugh McLaughlin, H.O. Thompson, Higgins, Beattie', and one labelled 'Tammany Hall' that looks like John Kelly; one hog labelled 'Hedden' has broken free and is headed for the 'Spoils Hog Pen' in the background. Standing on the left, observing, are Benjamin F. Butler, an unidentified man, Joseph C.S. Blackburn, and John R. McLean. Road signs state 'Road to Spoils', 'National X Roads', and 'Cleveland Civil Service Reform Road'.
