What you’re looking at

This page contains editorial commentary on the 1884 presidential election, with references to Grover Cleveland and Republican candidates. The central cartoon depicts a figure struggling with an "Umbrella Ticket" - likely symbolizing the Democratic party's fractured unity. Key targets of satire include: - **Cleveland's candidacy** despite moral questions about his personal conduct - **Mugwumps** (Republicans who switched to Cleveland) described as hypocritical - **Democratic inconsistency** on race and Southern issues - the "crimson garment" section criticizes Democratic tolerance of racial violence while claiming moral superiority The cartoon's grotesque imagery suggests Judge's view that Democratic claims of reform ring hollow given their actual positions on crucial issues. The satire is sharp-edged political commentary rather than humor.

HERE IS ONE good thing about Stevenson, He isn’t a civil-service fraud, and while in the postmaster-general’s establishment he cut off every Republican head that his knife could reach. That 1s civil-service reform, and that is what the people vote for. And if Mr. Cleveland isn’t elected his failure to do the same thing will be one of the causes of his defeat, Men don’t win victories for the purpose of giving the spoils and the flags to the defeated engmy. THE MUGWUMP BOSSES. ‘STHEY ARE THIEVES!” says the Evening Post in effect, speaking of the Democrats who must elect Grover Cleveland if he is elected at all. “They are rum-drinkers and rum-sellers. They are men unfit for gentlemen to associate with, Cleveland is better than his party.” Think of Tammany hall supporting a man nominated by the Evening Post and its ten thousand mugwumps. It ¢s.a good deal to expect. “There must have been a great change in human nature if the expectation is realized, Ps THE CRIMSON GARMENT. THE MAIN ISSUE, according to the Sun. is the sowhern question. Whether, for instance, your daughter shall be permitted to marry a black man; whether black men shall have the offices where they have the majorities; whether force shall make the ballot as sacred down south as it is here, or whether force shall break the ballot-boxes and kill the black men. Thus the Suz lifts the bloody shirt. Not that it cares for the sanguinary and mouldy garment; but as a protection newspaper it cannot carry the free-trade Democratic banner, and it must have something wherewith to occupy and show its bloody hand. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. HE TACLE of those pinks of ex- cellence, the mugwumps, training in be- half of Cleveland with the men whom they call cut-throats is deliciously absurd. There was contrast enough between the Demogratic spike-tails and"the:Democratic gutter-snipes ; but these mugwump watts of fragrance from the celestial “bowers are as far above the spike-tails as the Srfipes are lower, “Yet they. have ito votesto speak of. Though they are the’ bosses “6f the Democratic party, their fballot-Box is large only for a drop of their” superior honey. Jt is the gutter-snipes, asthey “must -ffiinkly admit, the contemptible,’ the ‘despised, that aré tooked to for the voting and .the electing. = “VADVICE TO_A LARGE MAN, HAT YOU WANT to do, Grover, is to cry out that you want to be saved from your “friends.” The word in quotation-marks is significant. The mugwump friends are honest, but their friendship will cost you thousands of the votes of men whom: the mugwumps disually mention as robbers, murderers and drunkards: The dangerous ‘other “friends” are the Tammany-hall men of this town, who are; dbliged, un- ihappily, to elect a mayor at thé: sare time that you want to be elected president. They profess loyalty, but they have said you'cannot bé elected and have sworn to be as good as their word—which isn’t so bad-in cases like yours. Look out for these mén; Grover.

Senator Hill is a young man, and there is better promise in him of a great future than in any other Demo- crat of his years. He is able, alert, tireless “nd sagacious. “He will do something in the senate that will continue him as a conspicuous figure. He has learned that the people respect honesty in politics as in everything else, regardless of temporary success, and that is a lesson he has long needed. No small man, without a dollar to his name, could have accom- plished the success he has won. Let him be as upright as he is able and in the proper time he will get his reward. comicbooks.com
