# Analysis of "The Judge" Page, September 27, 1884 This is a political cartoon titled "Another voice for Cleveland," likely referencing Grover Cleveland's 1884 presidential campaign. The cartoon depicts a domestic scene where a man physically mistreats a woman holding a child, with a sign reading "I WANT MY PAL" visible in the background. The satire appears to attack Cleveland by associating him with domestic violence or moral corruption. This likely references contemporary scandals or criticisms leveled against Cleveland during his campaign. The "voice" reference suggests an endorsement or supporter—here portrayed as a disreputable figure—backing Cleveland. The caricatured style and exaggerated features were typical of 19th-century satirical political cartooning, used to delegitimize candidates through association with social vices.
