# Analysis of Judge Page This page contains satirical commentary and editorial items typical of Judge magazine's political humor. The main cartoon titled "A Old Guard" depicts a figure wielding a large syringe or injection device, captioned "Mexican boy carter pally my pigeon tally eely moare" (likely garbled OCR). The accompanying text discusses various political and social topics including critiques of Democratic candidates, commentary on congressional districts, and observations about public figures. References include discussions of Senator Miller, Uncle Edmunds, and commentary on presidential succession and political ambitions. The overall tone is characteristic of Judge's late 19th/early 20th-century satirical approach—mocking political pretension, questionable ethics in public life, and social absurdities. Without clearer context on specific events referenced, precise identification of all targets remains uncertain.

THE GREAT PENNSYLVANIA MUGWENP. In reapportioning the congressional districts jof Pennsylvania that which belongs to S. J. | Randall is kept intact.

Itis easy enough for David to make mischief when he is sourd asleep. WHAT'S BECOME OP SHAFER? It isa melancholy fact that when a lawyer is seriously provoked he is just as upt to threaten murde: inybody else. That is to say, he confesses that his profession is inade- quate in certain cases of real or invagined wrong, at the same time that he condemns other man who takes that view of his personal situation. We must be consi gentlemen. We must try and_ throv | bricks and use our knives surreptitious!y, like |the cowards whose money gives us wealth, and never threaten them in advance.
