What you’re looking at

This appears to be a satirical cartoon from *Judge* magazine depicting what the caption identifies as "Running Blaine of M[aine]"—likely referring to James G. Blaine, a prominent 19th-century politician from Maine. The cartoon shows multiple caricatured figures in military or formal dress wielding weapons (bayonets, rifles), seemingly chasing or pursuing the central figure labeled as Blaine. The aggressive posturing and military imagery suggests the cartoon is satirizing political opposition or conflict surrounding Blaine—possibly related to a political campaign or controversial policy. The exaggerated caricatures and violent imagery are typical of *Judge*'s style of partisan political satire. Without the full page context and complete caption, the specific historical event being mocked remains unclear, though the tone is clearly derisive toward Blaine.
