# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains political commentary rather than traditional cartoons. The main illustrated figures appear to be caricatured politicians in two sketches—one showing a grotesque face (likely representing a political opponent) and another depicting figures near a street lamp. The text discusses various 1890s political figures and issues: Mr. Conkling's refusal to make speeches, allegations about bandits in Cuba and John Slocum, William Walter Phelps as a Republican vice-presidential candidate, and commentary on Mr. Blaine's political health. References to "the Democratic newspaper" and disputes suggest partisan debate during a presidential election cycle. The satire mocks political figures' behavior, ambitions, and contradictions—typical of Judge's irreverent approach to American politics. Without clearer dating or bylines visible, exact figures remain difficult to definitively identify.

If they can't find a law to suit their purposes they invent and inaugurate one for the occasio: THEY SAY THE QUEE! il create an order for the recognition of editorial merit. Thus far there has been only one order of that kind, to wit, that is to say, “St y paper.” “ TRUTH IN SCRANTON " is the heading to an article in an exchange. Wesee. Must have been hidden in one of those old oil wells through all the that she has been missing. THE BEST SOCIETY of Montreal was so pleased over the arrival of Sarah Howe that it sent over here an order to rob a few banks for the purpose of having a Ca n celebration. THERE IS THIS DIFFERENCE between Sarah Bernhardt and her boy Mau in the matter of kicking—the good lady kicks very much but as for the president, he handles the Democratic newspaper with « great deal of care. ne that he will positively refuse to run again, and the other that he is anxious to run again against Mr. Blaine. We think so ourselves. THE ATMOSPHERE IS CLEAR NOW. Mr. Conkling’s refusal to make a speech is wise. If he said any- thing in the speech it would raise a row, and if he said nothing it would be a bitter disappointment. No man was ever in a more deli- cate position than Mr. Conkling outside of his regular business at the bar. It is safe to say that when he does make a speech beyond that circle it will raise thunder; but we don’t want thunder, you know. THE STORY THAT SOME BANDITS in Cuba want to kidnap John Sher man would seem to indicate that the Ohio gentleman not only proposes to run for president but to start a sensational newspaper. Dan RIcE WRITES to the Philadelphia News, ‘‘I don't deliver any more temperance lectures, for I have quit drinking.” That is so neat that the old man ought to be brought right back to the sawdust. “IT WILL NOT po. William Walter Phelps, who wants to be second on the Republi- can ticket, is one of the brightest of hi x. He is wise, wealthy, yen erous, and good, and he would carry New Jersey like a cyclone and come over to New York like a simoon. But it cannot be. He is too near to Maine, he has no western fences to take care of, and, wh doesn’t part his hair in the middle, he bangs it all over his fore with an unstudied carelessness which afflicts the yeomanry. It is tru that the yeomanry bang their hair in the same way, but it must be re- membered that they scorn good clothes. Goop o-p Dr. BurcHarp recently preached in Washington, and there was that in his benevolent countenance which bespoke the atten tion of all who heard him. As to his words—well, the Lord knows! nobody seems to have listened to them. THE RECENT CONVENTION of suffragists in this city adjourned just in time. The police were tired from long service and the minor de- fences of the state were as lamentably deficient as those of the coast. HIS TIME TO REST. Mr. Blaine is a very quiet man. Probably he is not extremely de. sirous of passing out of sight; but he is letting his opponents do the anxiety necessary to keep him before the public, if he has any desire of that nature, meanwhile amusing himself in such ways as quiet men most affect. There is much noise regarding Mr. Blaine, but none of his own making. There is a good deal of trumpet-blowing, but he has no trumpet of his own. Nothing could better show the tendency of Republican politics than this remarkabl - iety as to Mr. Blaine and his apparent indiffer- ence to the anxiety; and perhaps the main question is as to the individual who shall bring up the rear of the ticket. IT Is UNDERSTOOD that the Times will pres: ently begin to tell the Democratic party just what to do. That will be ridiculous enough, but hardly as much so as the Sun’s assumption of the right to do it. THE BROTHERS PULITZER of this city, accon!- ing to the correspondent of an inland paper, do not speak to each other; and if that is the case it is certainly an improvement on the cour- tesies exchanged by the editors of the other dailies. HE WON'T THAT HE MAY. The papers are filled with matter as to whether Mr. Cleveland will or will not run. and whether he wants or doesn’t wanta second term. It is the coy shyness of a politician who has been nicely coached, and who will prob ably play it for all it is worth, as any sensible man would. We observe that some of Mr above the belt and the boy very much below it. SEVERAL PERSONS WERE KILLED last week by the bright person who never knows it is loaded ; THOSE NEW POLICE SIGNAL BOXES. Mn.
