# Page 301: Judge Magazine Political Satire This page contains several political cartoons and commentary from Judge magazine. The top cartoons labeled "RATS!" mock political figures—one depicts "Disherust" commenting on a painting, the other shows "The Pest" with someone saying "He knows now!" The text discusses minority rights, Southern race relations, and Canadian annexation concerns. One section references the post office at Utica, N.Y., and Democratic Party failures. Another criticizes Ohio politician Campbell's views on Australian ballot systems. The lower cartoon "A Wrong Application" shows a domestic scene with dialogue about gloves and clasps, appearing to be social satire rather than political commentary. The final section "Grover's Valor" discusses Cleveland's political strategy regarding tariffs and party conflicts, praising his discretionary restraint. The overall page mixes political criticism with social humor typical of 1890s Judge magazine.

HE Rochester Post-Express is shocked and grieved at the propo- tion that in twelve years the Democratic party has found only one man fit to lead it in a national contest. It is sad; and the more so as only a few months ago the people found him unfit to be elected. CAMPBELL of Ohio can't run with David because he believes in the Australian ballot, while David doesn’t. He is nicely fixed in that particular so far as Grover is concerned ; but there arises in that case the insuperable obstacle that Grover can’t run because he cannot get the delegates, THEIR PLEASING ABSENCE, HE DEATH of Riddle- berger, added to the retire ment of Mahone, ends a very bad chapter in our national politic hese men were sent to the senate as “ readjusters "— in other words as men who in the guise of compromise believed it honest to repudiate an honest debt.

Things of this importance cannot be watched too closely. What if those Canadians were to go to sleep as a part of England and awake to find themselves a part of the United States, having been abducted during the long hours of the silent night? What if several hun- dred leading Canadian citizens, once known to our criminal records as burglars and defaulters, were suddenly made amenable to our laws regard- less of imaginary geographical lines?

CLEVELAND says he has no time to make re- marks to Mr. Blaine on the tariff question, and he also says, in re- sponse to a question as to the leadership in ‘92, that the issue is not so much one of men as of principles. Mr. Cleveland is a very wise man. He knows just what to say, provided there isn’t much of it, and he knows just when to stop. It is not in his heart to demolish Blaine, and he doesn't want to strike at his cnemies in his own party while “they are out of reach of his trusty blade.
