What you’re looking at
This page contains editorial commentary rather than political cartoons. The main article "Judge" discusses Senator Roscoe Conkling's speech at Albany, praising his oratory while debating Republican party strategy. Another section, "The Democratic Voice," appears to mock Democratic suspicions about their candidate, suggesting they suspect him of murdering his uncle—a reference to unclear historical context that would require additional research to verify. The illustrations show a disheveled figure (top left, likely representing some political target) and two landscape scenes (bottom), though their specific satirical meaning isn't clearly labeled. The page primarily features political opinion pieces rather than visual satire, making it difficult to determine exact targets without additional historical context about 1870s politics.

It is as if one should say “old Smith,” or “old Thomp- | son,” or “old ass.” It occurs in an article about brie-a-brac or something of that kind, none of which old George Jones is. It is an expression which the Tribune would blush to use, if it has any kind of suffusion on hand, and we feel sure Mr. Dana will retract it as soon as his attention is called to it. A Great crowd gathered at Albany the] other day to hear Roscoe Conkling speak. It is a fact that the ex-senator has more admirers than any other man of this period, and he de- JUDGK.

Ifthe spirit of Louis is present it will please stand up and be rebuked; and shortly thereafter the Canadian government had better go to work to reform the evils that made the rebellion, they being an error too. WE are pained to observe in the usually correct Sun the expression “old George Jones.” It is not necessarily a reflection upon a man's honor or respectability tocall him old. A good many men are unavoidably old, and their age does them credit. So many men perish of extreme youth that when one reaches tof several thousands had to be refused.

Whether, however, it would profit the Repub- | lican party to send him to the front again as| its leader and manager is a question that ought to be well considered—after it has trans: | pired that the gentleman will accept the honor, and he probably never will. On the whole, the brilliant orator and great lawyer is |doing well enough, and so is the Republican party.

Two souls with but a single thought ly drop into senti- | ment, ‘two hearts that beat as one.” We do not expect that the millenium will| come just yet, and as long as the world stands it will be as naturalgfor one interest to have jealousy of another as for the winds to blow but there can at least be occasional periods of reconciliation and the sublime peace and the consequent happiness that attend them. To reach these periods a great deal of misunder- standing is inevitable; but the gratifying end | justifies the unavoidable means, and 's of | dreariness are not too much to pay for one | hour of that soul-satisfying sunshine and rest. THE DEMOCRATIC YORICK. The later prince of Denmark might assume as well the character of his perfidious une! It is not known that he has assumed the Dem- | ocratic throne through any murder, so far as human existence goes, but there is a wide spread Democratic suspicion that he has mur- dered the wholesome Jacksonian principle that to the victors belong the spoils. Originally he intended to slaughter merely small conventional ducat that buys support; but there is a corpse behind the curtains of larger proportions than that of the too voluble | Polonius, and it will have its ghost in count- less Democratic places during the next three years. Our artist, however, presents the prince | simply as his royal self, after his various ad- ventures by sea and land, and pending the burial of the young woman whom hisapparent madness has made mad. The wise first grave- wearing the face of a mugwump and speaking after the manner of a philosopher, treats with indifference the ruin he assists in hiding from the world and which in this in The later tragedy will appear further on. Unhappily, there is nothing at the close of this play to warrant any large amount of hope and speculation, the parties to it passing out by poison and sword We say of a good fellow“ old!and grief and the more pronounced of the | more a rat for the! various passions. We present just one grave and one skull, and they are sufficiently typical of the diminutive caverns that yawn for Dem- ocratic victims and are going to be abundantly filled.

A ring in the nose is not a sufficient pro: tection for the entire form, and if the gentle- men were of the other sex we should sus- pect them of being clad for an evening party. This, however, is a matter of bringing up, and there is that innocence which thinks no evil connection with the dress question even if ve no dress at all, The things which our noble visitors are of far greater and melancholy mon T observe crime of such magnitude as to frighten them it inv shoe |but which, having grown used to it, we not only tole under the protection ming and Ore We have lotteries of the In Ws 1 there are periodical massa: cres of Chinamen after the 1 Indian massacres of the ea a neither the state nor the general government brings the assassins to justice.
