# Page 35 Analysis: Judge Magazine Political Satire This page contains several satirical sketches and commentary on contemporary political figures and issues. **Top cartoon ("Very Busy")**: Shows two men in conversation, likely depicting political figures of the era discussing their schedules. **Middle cartoons**: Include sketches of a man checking a "Weather Forecast for New York" and another receiving election news ("Hello! there's a late bulletin from the election"). **Text sections**: Include commentary on New York's governor (mentions "Mr. Flower" and "David B. Hill" as New York governors), and discussion of Mr. Blaine's potential presidential ambitions. "The Main Point" section discusses theological matters—whether someone is a heretic—suggesting debate over religious orthodoxy. **"Our Wisest Man"** critiques "the man-who-knows-it-all," portraying someone confident in political predictions despite uncertain outcomes. The satire targets political overconfidence and pretension during what appears to be an election season.
