Image Description:
Cartoon of two men carrying a third on a stretcher. The man on the left points to the dead man he is carrying. Large block lettering reads "THIS MAN WAS TALKED TO DEATH."

Although printed almost 20 years before, this slogan was used by McKinley-backing Republicans to poke fun at long-winded Democrat William Jennings Bryan in the 1896 presidential race.
