What you’re looking at

This page contains satirical commentary on early 20th-century American politics, particularly attacking Democratic Party practices. Key elements: **"An Interrupted Lie"** (central cartoon): Depicts what appears to be Democratic operatives caught in dishonest campaign tactics—the caption references a "colored man" being used fraudulently, satirizing Democratic exploitation of Black voters while simultaneously denying them rights. **Political Commentary**: Articles mock Democratic conventions as secretive ("no locked doors"), criticize their treatment of minorities, and question whether "mugwumps" (independent Republicans) truly support Democratic candidates. The overall tone attacks Democratic hypocrisy on racial issues and electoral integrity—suggesting they manipulate Black voters while maintaining discriminatory policies. The satire assumes Republican readers and reflects late-19th/early-20th-century partisan journalism where both parties exploited racial divisions for political advantage.

THE IMPRESSION prevails that the Rev. Mr. Dixon, who talks incessantly, is pleased with his voice and yearns to be a martyr. THE COLONEL THE INJURY to Mr, Gladstone and the insults to Henry and Mrs. Stanley suggest anew the reflection that for the most part our voters are gentlemen.

Holman ; “let the. public walk.” Let the economy go on. Let the public pull off its shoes and stockings and go it barefoot. si6 ts NEW YORK is supposed to be doubtful, but the Sun quotes approv- ingly the suggestion that Adlai Stevenson may be depended upon to carry it. Indeed, in several respects the Sux is working itself half to death for Grover.

THOSE ANGELS. HE MUGWUMPS are getting along finely. All they want now, ac- cording to the 7imes, is to displace the Tammany leaders and do the leading themselves. Then if Tammany elects the ticket they want the offices, because the villainous Democratic party cannot be trusted with them, However, she should have appeared at BREAKERS AHEAD. F NEITHER the law.nor the courts can protect the public from such combinations as the coal trust, what is the public to do? Must it protect itself, and how can it legally do it? It is a pretty serious question. The extortion of this combination 1s outrage, and the outrage will grow larger with the beginning of cold weather. Put your eye on this situation and see if it doesn’t threaten serious mischiet. NO LOCKED DOORS. THE JUDGE does not approve the proposition to lock the people out of nominating conventions, The privilege may at times be abused, but so are all privileges. The conventions are of and for the people, and their proceedings must be open and fair. There is too much fun at these gatherings to turn them over toa select few. No star-chamber courts, no exclusive churches, no secret conventions! FREE SPEECH IN GERMANY. F THE KAISER considers it unsafe for the man who gave him most of his power to talk, he has little faith in himself or his government. It is a confession of weakness that is deplorable, and it is the more to be regretted because every German wants Bismarck’s views more than those of any other man. But it is funny to look upon the iron gentleman as a victim of his own rule; for while he was in power he believed in free speech only for himself, granting the privilege even to his royal master only at rare intervals, THE UNIVERSAL YELLOW DWARF. THE PRETTY TEACHER of the Sunday-school who sets out to convert John Chinaman is too often converted by John, who is cunning and vicious and in nine out of ten cases proposes anything in preference to our kind of religion, The pretty teacher rather likes the danger, and it is a little doubtful at times whether she prefers thick of th’ fight, when th’ shells y another drink on the slatey—* s'bose afder the religion to John and his heathen- ism at the very beginning of the busi- ness. It is the old story of beauty and the beast. “That ugly little yellow dwarf!” exclaimed Mr. Deacon of the man he shot, with a look of astonishment and disgust. IS THE MUGWUMP A CLAM? seTHE MUGWUMPS must shut up,” says Hill's Elmira organ, the Gazette. Really, they can’t. If they should they would die. They have been telling for years what miserable rascals the Democrats are—how they have robbed, murdered, and lived on the earnings of lewd women. Possibly they will talk less and roar more gently for a time, but they cannot be expected to close their mouths entirely. We must not expect extremes. They are dangerous. The reaction is destructive. It is tough on the Democracy, but the Gazeffe must consider the ten thou- sand mugwump votes. SHALL MINORITIES RULE? ‘THE WHITE PEOPLE of the south say frankly and forcibly that the blacks among them shall fill no offices whether they are in the major- ity or not. The Democratic party of the country, by opposing the force Dill, declare that the whites are right. “Principles, not men,” as the Hill Democrats frequently remark. If the majority can’t rule our elective system is gone. If the minority of this city do not like the rule of Tam- many hall shall they smash the ballot-boxes? If mugwumps do not ap- prove the plans of a majority opposed to them shall they use the gun or the bayonet? Let us think of this. comicbooks.com
