This is an 1899 Grant Hamilton political cartoon reducing William Jennings Bryan, the Democratic nominee for President in 1896 and in 1900, to the role of a jester. Dressed in a traditional harlequin outfit, Bryan is wilting under the constant heat applied by the Republican party and the economic resurgence of 1897-1899.
