# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains multiple brief political commentaries rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration depicts two men in conversation, with one appearing to be a con artist or schemer addressing the other. The text references several 1892 political figures and controversies: Bunco-thief O'Brien's state prison sentence, General Grant's funeral, and debates over free coinage of silver. "David, Silver, and Victoria" mocks Colorado's "Silver Men" pledging support for presidential candidates opposing free coinage. "Four Fools" satirizes American dualists who killed in honor disputes, suggesting they "ought to be decked with tar and feathers." "The Gentleness of Murder" and "Swing Your Hat for Harrison" discuss crime and the Republican presidential campaign, respectively. The overall tone is sharply critical of political corruption, violence, and electoral manipulation of the 1892 period.

OT TO MENTION his wealth and the democratic simplicity of his name, T. Jefferson Coolidge is “the handsomest man in Boston.” ‘There is a large place for flies on the top of his head, but there are no flies THE WRONG APPLICATION.

He was converted to protection by Grover's tariff message, and he is prominent in both business and social circles. We really don't see how the president could have found a better man for the large vacancy created by Whitelaw Reid's retirement from Paris. THE PARTY OF CRIME. WHEN POLITICS dictates that Bunco-thief O'Brien, sentenced to state-prison for stealing ten thousand dollars, shall be permitted to escape because of his “pull,” we have come to something worse than the brass and infamy of Tweed. But is it worse than the stealing of the senate, the whitewashing of Maynard, the seating of Rockwell? Is it not true that the state and the country must put down Tammany hall or Tammany hall will put down their legal justice and their ballot-box ? THE SUGGESTIVE HOSIERY. HE WOMEN KICKERS are in high favor. On two occasions in this town women have been arrested for sidewalk-kicking; recently two titled women of London did a public skirt-dance for charity to tumultu- ous applause; and the kicking of the drawing-room, after the manner of Carmencita, has come to be more or less respected in more or less polite society. Probably it is art. We trust it will not go so far that gentlemen will have their hats kicked off in the streets, because they really must have something to pull over their eyes. DAVID, SILVER, AND VICTORIA. HE SILVER M of Colorado are very much in earnest. The Denver News prints the names of eleven thousand of them who are pledged to support no man opposed to free coinage. Their plan is to run some presidential candidate in order to throw the election of a president into the house of representatives. The friends of Hill say he is by no means out of the fight, and we know that he is friendly to silver. When one considers this thing and incidentally the ambition of Vic- toria C. Woodhull, the condition for 1892 is exasperatingly chimerical. FOUR FOOLS. THE SEVERAL DUELISTS— the finest dispensers of Ameri- can-English idiocy yet known— succeeded in killing William Astor without firing a shot. Had they trained their soy-pistols against him he would have been alive to- day. Worrying him with their child- ish blubber about what they call honor, disgracing his name with their several feeble publications, and: borrowing his daughter's gar- ments as the means to their own notoriety, they shamed him out of the world. They ought to be decked with tar and feathers and kicked into their contemptible little graves. THE GENTLENESS OF MURDER. seTHIS LITTLE WOMAN,” pleaded Counselor Howe, and all the reporters pleaded, ‘This pretty little woman.” It is true that all women who do wrong are little and pretty, and whatsoever woman wants to reach that excellence has only'to commit a crime—the worse the crime the more pathetic the “pretty” and the “little.” But the man who is killed is just as much killed as if the perpetrator of the deed were a large, coarse man, and one would think that the punishment ought to be as great in one case as the other. Crime knows no sex, but justice is always on the lookout for it. SWING YOUR HAT FOR HARRISON. T IS WORTH thinking of that while the Republican convention of this state did not care to mention Harrison for a re-election it did.not care to mention or present the claims to the chief office of anybody else. And so of other state conventions, all of which were by a large majority for Harrison. Republican sentiment the country through has settled upon this man as the best man to head the national ticket. No other man is talked of beyond the state to which the candidate may belong. It is natural and proper that other men should seck the place, and it is inevi- table that office-giving should displedse ten where it gratifies one; but the man for the party at large is undoubtedly Harrison, and he has fairly won the indorsement of a re-election.
