# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page celebrates Republican Benjamin Harrison's 1888 presidential victory over Democrat Grover Cleveland. The content mocks Democratic losses while praising Harrison and fellow Republican James G. Blaine. **Key figures:** - **Harrison** (president-elect): portrayed as a new "Abraham Lincoln" - **Blaine**: celebrated as the Republican hero who won the election through rousing speeches - **Ingersoll and Benjamin Harrison**: compared (the Judge suggests Colonel Ingersoll falsely inflates his own importance) **Satirical points:** The cartoons and text mock Democrats for: complaining about barber price increases (blamed on Republican tariff policy), losing sectional control, and general incompetence. The "Last and Unkindest Cut" cartoon jokes about female vanity regarding hairlines. "From Catfish to Queue" appears to mock Asian immigrants through crude evolutionary imagery. The overall message promotes Republican economic policies and celebrates their electoral dominance, while ridiculing Democratic grievances as petty.
