# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page from *Judge* magazine contains political commentary on New York governance circa the 1880s. The main editorial, "The New Mayor of New York," celebrates Franklin Edson's election as mayor, distinguishing him from previous appointees beholden to Tammany Hall machine politics. *Judge* warns Edson against surrendering city patronage positions to "party hacks and tricksters," asserting he was elected by the people, not politicians. The satirical dream sequence, "The Judge's Dream," depicts deceased or controversial figures (President Arthur, Ben Butler, Henry Ward Beecher, Colonel Ingersoll) in an afterlife paradise, freed from earthly scandals. Beecher's inclusion references his infamous adultery trial; the passage about "the terrible story that I drowned my wife in the Schuylkill River" alludes to the Tilton-Beecher scandal that *Judge* had covered extensively. The cartoons (not clearly visible in this reproduction) likely reinforced these anti-corruption themes targeting Tammany Hall's influence.
