Judge — December 11, 1886 — page 2: what you’re looking at
What you’re looking at
This page contains political commentary and satirical items rather than a unified cartoon. The content critiques President Cleveland and his administration. One item mocks Cleveland's sensitivity to press criticism, characterizing him as a "delicate creature" upset by negative coverage. Another attacks a statement attributed to ex-Attorney General Stone, ridiculing his advice that speeches should avoid "ghostly glee." The text also satirizes various political figures and situations: a celebratory congressman named Morrison, discussion of potential Cleveland-backed gubernatorial candidates, and commentary on Judge Manning's role in Mexican climate disputes. The page's humor relies on contemporary political knowledge—specific officials, recent events, and administration policies that would have been immediately recognizable to 1880s readers but require historical context to fully understand today.

THE PRESIDENT'S LETTER to ex-Attorney Stone—‘ You musn’t make speeches, but if you do make speeches make Democratic speeches.

His soul revolts whenever he encounters a news- paper. He is a delicate creature and was brought up asa pet. He has not big head, as his Buffalo friends think: the trouble is much nd sick stomach, But what will result when the press in turn sickens of him? Things of that kind have happened, as a number of for- gotten individuals are willing to testify. | | THE PRESIDENT will remove such officials as are nominated to other places by their friends, in case they do not resign. If the rule had been adopted a few years ago Mr. Cleveland would not have been elected governor while he was mayor, or president while he was gov- ernor. It is a curious reflection. PELT WANT. A southern paper says Judge Manning, who is reported to have been overcome by the glori- ous climate of Mexico, has been in the habit of having sprees three or four times a year. We don’t know how that may be; but it has come to be a necessity to send to Mexico somebody who will either drink nothing at all or who is competent in drinking to overcome those mis- erable greasers. No more Sedgwick and no more Manning foolishness at the city of Mex- ico. The country has been disgraced enough.
