What you’re looking at
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.

We don’t believe Mr. Blaine would take the presidency if he could get it in five minutes, and he wouldn't be queen of England if he had that honor already. “Hello! there's a late bulletin. ss yvens 79 +5 from the election.” Well, I'll be blamed ! | 1! of reform, Brother Holman, let us insist that she shall I A COMET with eight tails?

[7 WILL BE WELL to have some theological matters dis- cussed outside of the question whether a particular per- son is heretical or not. Dr. Briggs may have distressed his church, but is he a sinner and a heretic against law and logic? For instance, is there a Presbyterian preacher who is prepared to say that the doctrine of selection and infant dam- nation is just and a necessary part of the faith? Is there one who is willing to answer yes or no? OUR WISEST MAN. ‘THE MAN-WHO-KNOWS-IT-ALL has been extremely happy for many weeks. Probably his losses are greater than his winnings as to the nominating situation; but he is ~ cheerful and confident with regard to the election. As to that, he positively knows.
