This page features a playing card design depicting a figure in ornate royal costume labeled "Cleveland's Great 'Drawing Card' in His Southern Tour." The caption reads: "What a pity it is for Grover that Hearts are not Trumps in Politics." The cartoon satirizes President Grover Cleveland's political standing during a Southern tour. The playing card imagery suggests Cleveland is being used as a political asset ("drawing card"). The joke hinges on the suit being hearts rather than trumps—implying that sentiment and popularity (hearts) won't translate into political power or electoral victories (trumps). This critiques Cleveland's limited political effectiveness despite his public appeal, particularly regarding his Southern strategy.
