What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertising and editorial content** rather than political satire. The main article, "Picture Politics," is Judge magazine's own boastful commentary on its growing influence. Judge claims it has surpassed its rival **Puck** (a Democratic-leaning illustrated paper) in quality and impact. The article praises Judge's Republican cartoons attacking the Democratic party, describing them as "red-hot shot" against a "demoralized" opposition. Specific cartoons mentioned include Brother Jonathan (a patriotic American symbol) in patriotic clothing holding a "Democratic hypocrisy" banner, and a depiction of "the fat president" (likely President Cleveland) being carried by older figures, labeled "The ticket strengthened." The piece reflects the intensely partisan nature of 1880s political journalism, where illustrated magazines served as explicit propaganda organs for their respective parties. Judge's boasting reveals how central these visual satirists considered themselves to electoral politics.

In'the issue of June 23 Brother Jonathan | occupies the first page clad in red, white and blue pants and vest, holding a red bandana handkerchief labeled ** Democratic hypocrisy.” On the last page is a very xood representation of the fat president being borne on the shoulders of the venerable Phis i labelled, ‘The ticket strengthened.” ‘The two-page cartoon ‘shows the difference between the Republican and Democratic platforms. Here again we see another good picture of the 3s0-pound president. Upon his back is an old, rickety table designated Democratic platform. Upon this clamor John Bull, the solid south and George William Curtis. By the side of this rickety old platform, borne by the Buffalo man, stands a magnificent specimen of a platform, labeled ** Repub- lican; protection for home industries.” Standing upon this, bearing in her hands a banner upon which is written in red letters, “* Protection; no market for pauper labor.” isthe goddess of liberty. | The publica- tion is one in which Republicans will find much to in- terest and please them during this, the most exciting campaign America has ever experienced.—Mitwaukee Sunday Telegraph, “THE Horse AND Buccy ” A beautifully printed and handsomely, Mus. trated book of 40 pages, seven by seven Inches.
