What you’re looking at

This page contains political commentary rather than a primary cartoon. The main illustrated piece shows two women in conversation, labeled "A SAD CAUSE," discussing a man named Dennis who was apparently jailed for six months—likely a contemporary scandal referenced without full context here. The text sections mock various political figures and issues of the era (date unclear from this excerpt). References include Charles Foster's "Irish" comparison, Dr. Parkhurst's nomination for New York mayor, and extended commentary on David B. Hill's political dominance in New York State. The satire targets Democratic Party politics, particularly Hill's control of party machinery and his exclusionary leadership style. Without publication date context, specific identifications remain uncertain, though the content clearly criticizes Democratic political power consolidation and individual politicians' ambitions.

THE RETREAT OF THE COWARDS. HE “WORLD” is right. So far as the Democratic party is con- cerned, the silver question might better have been postponed. The situation cannot be changed whatever this congress can do; and to run away from the tariff issue is rank, and therefore characteristic, Democratic cowardice, WELL DONE! HE DECISION in the Noyes-Rockwell case is a compliment to the Democratic party that is of the utmost value at this time, and the more so as it is a rebuke to Hill which that gentleman fully deserves. Let us add that it is a lesson to the late Republican house of representa- tives that is not the less pointed because it comes too late. It pays to be honest. Let us not forget it. OUR ADOPTED RULER. HARLES FOSTER is happy in his alleged comparison of the Irish- man’s mouth with that of the clam, even if he does omit a reference to that long upper lip of the clam—so long that the nose and the rest of the countenance are entirely obliterated. The term flannel-mouth was once descriptive; but during the past thirty years the Irishman has cut his gums and the same have receded even to the roof of his conversational orifice. : BETTER THE VICTORY OF PEACE. A LITTLE TROUBLE with England would give us Canada, either with the consent of her i habitants or through the necessity of protecting ourselves by keeping the enemy off shore. We-trust, therefore, that we shall have no trouble with England. While the commercial interests of Canada and the United States may demand a union, Canada had better not annex us until a very large majority of her inhabitants are frantic for that action. AGE, GORGE, AND PENI- * “TENCE. HE MEN of the Standard oil company have made so many millions thatit bothers them to take care of the money. In making the millions they have stopped at no law and had no mercy on honest opposition, Suddenly they conceive a high respect for law, and incident- ally for religion, and retire with sanctimonious countenances to the depths of their several Cheshire cheeses. Law is a great reformer; but age and fatigue are better, as Mr. Gould and John A. Morris would doubtless remark if they had anything to say on the subject. THE HON. WHITELAW PHELPS, THERE ARE TWO MEN either of whom would be a very strong candidate for vice-president on the Republican ticket. Whitelaw Reid could carry New York, and nobody could do more for him in Con- necticut and New Jersey than could and would William Walter Phelps. On the other hand, Mr. Phelps has the money, the record and the popu- larity to secure those states for himself, and he, like Mr. Reid, deserves all the good that can come to him. The JUDGE calls attention to the work of these gentlemen as Republicans and as representatives abroad. THE HILL EXCLUSIVENESS., THE DEMOCRATIC PRESS is right—there is too much centraliza- tion, Here is David B. Hill, in whom is centralized the power of the Democratic party of this state; who makes legislative majorities, and who controls legislation against the people and for the McLoughlins, the Crokers, the Cockrans, the Grants and the Murphys. There is too little democracy. Here, again, is Mr. Hill, at Jackson, Miss., talking exclu- sively, as the dispatches have it, to “ladies and gentlemen,” not a black face in his audience and not a white workingman or woman within gun- shot of his hand or his voice. comicbooks.com
