What you’re looking at

This cartoon depicts **Mrs. McNamara** (likely a political figure's wife) waiting anxiously while her husband attends to political business. The dialogue reveals her impatience: she wants to hurry home because "it's late" and suggests they "go on mesiff" (dialect for "go on myself") to meet her husband coming back. The satire targets **political wives' frustrations** with their husbands' endless campaign activities and public obligations. Judge mocks how women, even those married to prominent politicians, must wait idle while men conduct political affairs—suggesting the tedium and powerlessness of political spouses. The cartoon exemplifies Judge's regular commentary on **election season chaos** and its domestic consequences, a recurring theme throughout this issue.

McNamara—"* T IS to be observed that the legislature of this state will send to the United States senate the same kind of man it has been in the habit of sending for a long time back. HE WONDER is that Mahone, instead of bringing out his shot-gun, did not march upon and destroy the entire Democratic party. Mahone has a bad temper and he used to be dangerous.

MBE: CLEVELAND expects to be the candidate as a result of the late unpleasantnesses, dwelling particularly on the tariff issue; and Gov- ernor Hill expects to be the candidate because, as he holds, there is no tariff issue worth the mention. TOO LONG FOR HER TO WAIT.

IT HAS RAINED. 'HERE ARE no dried leaves this autumn, The crisp air of autumn is not here. The trees are without color. The leaves hang limp and dead or are mashed by the foot of the pedestrian deeper into the mud with which they assimilate. It has rained. The rain began in January and has run through pretty steadily to the date of this paper. When it hasn't rained it has snowed, and the snow has speedily become slush, like the matter of a Democratic newspaper. There used to be a glorious Oc- tober, and that ran happily into the crisp and more lovely autumn. The terms are familiar. The facts exist no more. It has rained. With- out mentioning the recent elections, it has rained perpetually, cease- lessly, dismally, drizzle and pitch- fork, and all the varieties. Oh. where shall the soul find rest ? THE UNION OF PRAISE. [8 ONE OF THE YEARS of the civil war this state had two thanksgiving days, one selected by President Lincoln and the other by Governor Horatio Seymour. The governor was a pure and a great man; but he had the Democratic disposition, then as now quite prev- alent, to complain of everything that was and yearn for everything that could not be had. President Lincoln furnished the precedent of a national thanksgiving, and to-day every governor sees its propriety and acknowledges its appropriateness. We are not a nation of sovereign states or smaller sovereign localities, but a nation every part of which is affected by the prosperity or the misfortune of the sovereign whole, And no rights of any state or any individual are hurt thereby. It is union for the sake of harmony and prosperity, and union in praise of the source from which all blessings come. THANKS FOR THE COMING VICTORY. T IS presumable that the coming thanksgiving will have various meats on the political table. The prohibitionists at the dry end of the board will find their larder scant of nutrition, and the anticipated supplies shriv- eled down to peppered crow. The Democracy will be able to construct a comfortable picket of full bottles around their expanded side-board. The ill look with an air of regret at the faced bouquet of last s, which they had perhaps hoped to keep perennial and fresh. hing that will be in common, however—no plate 2round the board but will have its biting reinforcement of pickles, and every guest the next day will carry around a reminiscent or an existing dyspepsia. To change the illustration, an ebb year in politics has its lessons and The inflowing tide of a great national excitement, with its wall of masterful water overflowing and filling each pitfall, and sweeping away all the wrecks and rottenness along the beach, only lifts its plunging and purifying crest when pulled by the irresistible attraction of a higher force.
