# Judge Magazine Page 155 - Political Commentary This page contains brief satirical commentary on contemporary political figures and events, circa 1880s: **Top cartoon:** A German baron's daughter apologizes for troubling someone; the satire mocks pretentious European nobility and their inflated titles. **Political items include:** - **Governor Hill** and Rome/geese metaphor (unclear reference without date) - **John Swinton** returning to newspaper work at good salary - **President Blaine** relations—jokes about Democratic press hoping for rupture between president and secretary - **Cleveland vs. Hill men**—references factional conflict within Democratic Party - **Charles Dana and S.J. Randall**—criticized for claiming leadership of Democratic party - **Samoa question** under Bismarck's influence - **Brigham Young**—polygamy joke about his multiple families in Utah while in Washington **Bottom cartoon:** "The After-Supper Dance" depicts a man (Mr. Clay) complaining to Miss Haskins that she's eaten so much ice cream he caught a cold from her breath—a crude joke about proximity and dining etiquette. The page mixes political satire with social humor typical of Gilded Age magazines.
