# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page 69 This page contains several satirical pieces targeting American political figures and social issues circa the 1880s: **"Why?"** attacks Republican gentlemen (including Senator Edmunds) for silence during a recent campaign, questioning their pride and leadership. **"William's Hat"** mocks William M. Evarts (prominent Republican politician/lawyer) for absent-mindedly taking another man's hat, attributing his confusion to campaign exhaustion. The reference to "Grover" likely means President Grover Cleveland. **Other short pieces** include domestic humor about Irish servants, marriage skepticism, and observations about the Kaiser and Mormons. The cartoons' sketched style and dialect humor ("m'dear," "nossin'") typify Judge's satirical approach. The overall tone reflects post-campaign political disappointment and social commentary common to 1880s American satire magazines.
