Arthur's awkward 'white elephant'' President Chester A. Arthur sitting on a rock with a large white elephant that looks like Roscoe Conkling standing next to him; Arthur is wondering how to get rid of the elephant. Uncle Sam, holding papers labelled 'Conkling Declines', walks away from the 'Supreme Court'. Roscoe Conkling turned down Arthur's offer for a position on the Supreme Court.
