In the centre, in front of a large crowd are two candidates, both waving their hats, slip coins into two of the many pockets of a voter's coat; one candidate says, "Sell not your Country" and the voter replies, "No Bribery but Pocketts are free". Further to the right another candidate, saying "Accept this small acknowledgment", offers a purse to a gentleman who grovels on the ground for coins that have been thrown down by the prevailing candidate, from his position on a chair supported by poles on the shoulders of four men. On the right, a statue of Folly in a niche empties bags of coins; before the statue is an altar on which a fire burns, a candidate kneels at its base imploring, "Help me Folly or my Cause is lost"; to the left of the altar, is a butcher crying "See here, see here" and to the right, a classical philosopher, saying "Let not thy right hand know what thy left does", puts his hand behind him to received a bribe from a young man. Beyond is a tavern outside the landlord, wearing horns, calls out "He kist my Wife he has my Vote"; outside the tavern hangs the sign of a bottle with a large globe attached
