# Understanding This Judge Magazine Page This page from *Judge* satirical magazine contains three separate pieces about American political figures, likely from the 1880s. **"Samuel J. Tilden"** praises the Democratic politician's vigor and vitality, suggesting—somewhat ironically—that despite his age, he remains physically active and robust as a farmer. The piece celebrates his continued energy. **"Blaine's Hermitage"** attacks Republican James G. Blaine, suggesting he harbors grievances and resentments that isolate him. The satire implies Blaine is brooding over past controversies and political defeats, unable to move forward. **"The Dance"** criticizes Puritanical moralists—"Pharisees"—in San Francisco who attempted to ban dancing as immoral. The author ridicules their prudishness, arguing that dancing between young couples is innocent and artistic, not sinful. The piece defends recreational freedom against religious zealotry. Overall, the page reflects *Judge's* progressive satirical stance: supporting Democratic figures, attacking Republican grievances, and mocking conservative moral restrictions on public behavior.
