# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains several brief satirical pieces and cartoons typical of Judge's political humor: **"Suspicious Corpulency"** depicts a visitor commenting on a landlady's healthy appearance, revealing she eats all her meals with a married sister across the street—satirizing either freeloading or suspiciously convenient domestic arrangements. **"At Roll Call"** shows an Irish immigrant officer explaining he slept too long and his children took his helmet, using it as the nearest substitute to his uniform—mocking Irish immigrants and their assimilation challenges. **Political commentary** discusses Republican presidential prospects (Blaine, Sherman, Edmunds, Allison), the 1884 election dynamics between Maine and Ohio candidates, and attacks on reformers and anarchists (Lucy Parsons). **"Let Us Be Modest"** sarcastically credits Judge magazine with elevating both Mrs. Potter and the press itself—self-congratulatory humor. The cartoons use exaggerated physiognomy and ethnic stereotyping typical of 1880s satirical journalism.

Mrs. Potter does well to deny the declaration attributed to her that she was about to elevate the stage. We are extremely sorry she did it, how: er, previous to the pub- ation of a highly sur tic article written for this paper whose purpose it was to elevate her. It is quite true that the JupGr: has elevated the press. It has been done quietly, ju- diciously, modestly, but effectually.

If Mr. Cleveland is re: nominated it will be because of the strength his family relations have conferred upon him —not through any strength possessed by him self; but the young lady cannot make votes as easily as she can control conventions, and Mr. Blaine would whip him out of his boots. Mrs. Cleveland, on the other hand, has not the weakness of the detected mugwump, and with her as the standard-bearer her party would be very apt to sweep the country.
