# "Two New Chicks in the Presidential Barnyard" This is a political cartoon from *Judge* magazine (November 28, 1891) satirizing the U.S. presidency. The title and caption—"If they grow much more we will be out of sight!"—suggest commentary on newcomers or challengers to established political power. The cartoon depicts caricatured figures in a barnyard setting. The "old roosters" (established political figures) worry about "two new chicks" (likely rising political rivals or third-party candidates) becoming too prominent and overshadowing them. Without specific context about 1891 politics, the exact identities remain unclear, but the agricultural metaphor critiques how the political establishment fears competition from emerging forces that could disrupt the existing power structure.
