# Judge Magazine Page Analysis This page contains satirical commentary and editorial content typical of Judge magazine. The main cartoon depicts what appears to be a social scene with multiple figures gathered around a central character, rendered in Judge's characteristic sketch style. The text references Democratic newspapers' coverage of political ambitions, mentions Chicago society figure Mrs. W.R. Husenbank, and discusses various social and political topics including a woman who "never takes the man with a tall hat to walk" (likely a society joke). The right column contains editorial commentary on Chicago civic pride, "wants" advertisements as social commentary, and criticism of Louisiana lottery bribery schemes. Without clearer dates or identifying labels in the image itself, specific political figures and events remain unclear, though the satire targets both Democratic politics and Gilded Age social pretension.

WE NOW learn from the Democratic newspapers that Blaine's dreams are over—the secretary yearns for nothing but to see somebody else elected president. Apparently Mr. Blaine gives his confidence only to the Democratic press, and yet they cannot, will not love him. HE JUDGE understands that Mr. W. R. Busenbark of Chicago is about to be appointed to the position of boiling-pot for the ‘Teko- hawara creek, which belongs to Canajoharie, is not remote from Caugh- nawaga, and is a near relative of the Chuctanunda. ‘The ability of Mr. Busenbark to make the pot boil has long been known. THE IMPOSITION ON MR. TILDEN. R. TILDEN is said to be so angry at the failure of his bequest to this city to reach its destination that he wants to come back and engi- neer the matter himself; and yet he was generally regarded, when he made his will, as the shrewdest lawyer in this state. Of course Mr. Tilden intended that money to go where he said it should. He would not perpe- trate a fraud during the last years of his life, Is not the law guilty of a crime in using his money in opposition to his wishes and his will? WE'RE ALL FOR CHICAGO NOW. CHICAGO is not frightened by her capture of the world’s fair; but she feels subdued as she contemplates her pride and her respon- sibility, and has that quiet deter- mination which wastes no breath in loud words and long sen- tences devoted to mere brag. A Chicago paper recently said that New York had no good words, and many mean ones, for the great metropolis of the north- west. Well, all that town has to do is to do her best, and pres- ently she will find every New York hat swinging to her honor and glory. ARE YOU TROUBLED WITH “WANTS”?

MILLION DOLLARS to bribe the legislature of Louisiana to make a constitutional amendment renewing the charter of the Louisiana lottery company! That shows the profits of the men of the company, who, without contributing an atom of their brains or their labor to the welfare of the public, draw from the wealth of the state and nation the blood necessary to their bloated opulence. They give little more than nothing in return for the money the lottery-chasers give them. Those deluded persons coniribute without hope of reward to their immense wealth, for not one in twenty thousand gets a prize that is worth having. It is the work of the leech on men and women who ought to be protected by law against further emaciation, ‘The million dollars in bribery are to be used ostensibly for the cause of education and some other things in Louisiana; but the money is a bribe, and can conscientiously be called nothing but thie lize the actions of thieves. Think of a lottery authorized and protected by state law, and of protits sufficient- ly large to enable the scoundrels who manage it to buy legislation at a cost of a million dollars!
