Satire on the close contest in Kent in the general election of 1734. A hustings raised in a large open area in a small country town surrounded by a large crowd of men on horseback and foot many of whom carry whips or sticks; Whig supporters have cockades in their hats and Tories sprigs of oak. Prominent among the Whigs, on the right, is a mounted clergyman; one of man on foot calls out "Protest. Interest",  another "Middlesex &amp; Oxendon". Tories cry, "Country Interest", "Vane &amp; Dering", "King &amp; Country", "No Excise". The candidates stand on the crowded hustings while two clerks seated at tables record the votes. 1734
