# "One Gleam of Consolation" This cartoon depicts two women in what appears to be a domestic interior. Based on the caption and surrounding text references to "Mrs. Johnstone" and "Deacon Swope," this likely satirizes a contemporary domestic or social scandal. The joke appears to concern marital infidelity or relationship trouble—one woman consoles the other, with dialogue suggesting that despite personal misfortune, there's grim satisfaction in knowing "it's very hard to loose de liggins." This seems to reference lower-class domestic humor or working-class speech patterns. The surrounding editorial content criticizes various political figures including Cleveland, Grant, and Sherman, suggesting this issue engaged with 1880s politics and social commentary through both cartooning and written satire. Without clearer identification of the specific scandal or people referenced, precise context remains uncertain.

With all their jokes at the harmony of the Sarstoga convention the Democratic press has an inner consciousness that there is no joke in the fact itself. No, not one. Not a ghost of a smile.
