# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page from the satirical magazine *Judge* contains several political commentaries: **"Butler Redivivus"** mocks General Benjamin Butler, ridiculing his shameless self-promotion and social climbing despite Harvard's public rejection of him (denying an honorary degree). The satire suggests Butler's thick-skinned opportunism allows him to advance regardless of humiliation. **"Foraker to the Front"** discusses Judge Foraker's emergence as a potential Republican presidential candidate from Ohio, apparently surprising observers given his earlier obscurity. The piece analyzes his campaign effectiveness and notes Republican party divisions over issues like tariffs and the "whisky traffic." **"Political Pleasantries"** briefly notes Ohio Democrats' clever political maneuvering in nominating someone for Governor, suggesting they've achieved a strategic advantage by nominating Judge Hoadley, repeating a successful 1872 strategy. The cartoons target Republican Party vulnerabilities and internal conflicts, while highlighting individual politicians' ambitions and contradictions—typical *Judge* fare attacking the political establishment of the 1880s.
