# Judge Magazine Page Analysis **Top Cartoon:** Shows a grotesque caricature labeled "Judge's" - likely representing the magazine's editorial voice or a political figure being satirized. The exaggerated features are typical of 19th-century satirical art. **Main Editorial Content:** The page contains political commentary addressing several figures: Dr. Newman (mentioned regarding Democratic troubles), Robert Lincoln (as potential senator), and critiques of various political positions including labor votes and Republican administration policies. **Bottom Illustration ("An Innovation"):** Depicts two women in period dress, with a caption about "low neck cut-away" style and costume advantages. This appears to be fashion satire, possibly mocking women's dress reforms or social pretensions. The page reflects Judge's typical approach: mixing political satire with social commentary and fashion humor. Without clearer date context, specific historical figures remain difficult to definitively identify.

IN Pouitics IT is the man who never wants it that sget it; and when he says he won't have it they choke him into submission and then pour it down his throat. A CONTEMPORARY WANTS to know if the Republican party is to be led captive at the chariot wheels of Jimmy Husted. What rot ! Mr. Husted never had a chariot in his life. EVERYBODY WILL Give John Roach his edrn- est sympathy; and inasmuch as t is positively proved that tobacco didn’t produce the existing trouble it must be laid to Secretary Whitney. WE UseD To THINK James W. Husted made a mistake by shaving the top of his head— | that it was a kind of affectation, so to speak; | but all the while he has known what he was about. We think this acknowledgment is James's due. WE subGE, from the urgent necessity for a |board of pardons put forth by the Rochester Union, that another unfortunate Democratic triumph is apprehended in this state next fall. THE ONLY PROPER substitute for hanging that we know of is hanging. When murder- ers give their victims the least painful death it will be time to look up the least painful death for them. Mr. Biaryg, if we may believe the Chicago Inter-Ocean—and ometimes can—is one of the largest ice-dealers in the country; but we shall know more about it when the returns come in from Uncle Edmunds. CONGRESS KNOWS THOROUGHLY how to origi- nate taxes; but with a surplus so large as to embarrass the treasury beyond calculation, and constantly gro it doesn't know how to abate them. How strange that is! Henry Graby, having seen his picture in the papers, says he really isn’t the original Dick | Deadeye; and for our part we have never sus- pected him of anything worse than an admit- tedly secure position as the pirate king. NERAL ORATIONS are a specialty with Dr. |Newman. He does them well and guarantees the most perfect satisfaction in every instance. It is sweet for one’s country to die, provided lonly that Dr. Newman can shed the i rhetorical diamonds. | Rosert LINCOLN MIGHT make a pretty | senator, and the experience he would thus might fit him for preside jrun a mere name for anything, but if the man [has proved that he is worthy of the n: |there’s your happy combination.
