# Judge Magazine Page 92: Political Satire & Humor This page collects brief satirical commentary and jokes targeting American politics and society, likely from the 1880s-90s era. **Key references:** - **Oklahoma statehood debate**: Mocking claims about the territory - **Democratic donkey**: Partisan jab at the Democratic Party - **Centennial celebration**: References a major anniversary (possibly 1876 or 1889 World's Fair) - **Grant's Tomb**: Visiting the Civil War general's monument - **Municipal elections for women**: Satirizing women's expanding political participation - **Southern reconciliation**: The final cartoon celebrates "colored troops" and "boys in gray" (Union and Confederate soldiers) being applauded together—commentary on post-Civil War healing **The wheat cartoons** appear to mock commodity speculation and business dealings without clear political figures identified. The page emphasizes Judge's role mocking contemporary politics, women's rights debates, sectional healing, and daily absurdities—typical of Gilded Age satirical magazines.
