What you’re looking at

This page from Judge magazine contains multiple political jabs at 1880s-era figures and issues. References include: - **Grover Cleveland**: Multiple items mock the presidential candidate, including jokes about his "germs" and a collision with "Hill" (likely James G. Blaine's running mate). - **The tariff debate**: A recurring political issue, with lines like "KEEP THE TARIFF in mind. No free-trade domination!" - **Fire Island/immigration**: One piece references prisoners and the Normandia ship, touching on late-19th-century nativist anxieties about immigrants. - **T. Watson**: Described as "snoop of the late house of representatives," running for re-election amid scandal involving a duel challenge. The cartoons employ visual caricature and wordplay typical of 1880s satirical journalism, targeting both major party figures and contemporary social controversies.

G ROVER'S FIRST REMARK on the morning after election—“ Say, ‘mi licked?” eee HEY SAY that the eyes of Croker, Murphy and McLaugh- lin have a new kind of wink. eee IF HILL and Cleveland do come together it will be by accident and will be called a collision. ‘© GET OFFICE a man must show that he has a good moral character and no cholera germs in his system. GEORGE TICKNOR CURTIS has washed his hands of the Democratic party, and they seem to be quite clean, eee +¢\VAS SULLIVAN dosed?" asks the New York Re- corder, Not so; according to his own diagnosis, boozed. she was sufficiently curved to show that her back was up for the subsequent proceedings. tee MB. COCKRAN says Cleveland's chances have been greatly improved by Cleveland's letters; so that this campaign has its humor after all. eee SENATOR HILL has bought a house, but it does not follow that he will marry. There be many band-boxes that never had a bonnet in them. ROTHER WHITNEY is no scratching-post, but the snappers and anti-snappers say he is a convenient and most excellent object for kicking purposes. THE BOOK of the biographies of the Tammany leaders printed by the Evening Post cannot be had for love or money, but after election it will be on sale for money or hate. MR. CORBETT now writes for the newspapers, as does Mrs. Corbett. Theirs is a great success. Presently we may see the man in the pulpit and the lady leading in prayer-meeting. eee ‘THE FEELING of the countrymen about Fire island against the passengers on the Normannia was very bitter. The imprisoned men and women can thank their stars that they were not shot or sent to the penitentiary. A LOVE-GAME. SHe—" Look a-yer, yo’ Jems Johnson, whad’s dat I heah yo' sayin’ to dat 5S brack coon ‘bouten dis bein’ a lub-game? i wants yo’ to know dat ef yo'sun- much of the country’s health, IF MAINE didn't go hell-bent, true to me I'll knock yo’ mug offen yo" wif dis swiper. Heah me, doan’ yo"?" PHE WORST rainbow-hunters are those Democrats who get consola- tion from the splendid Republican victories in Maine and Vermont. But they are orthodox. They never see death without thinking of the resurrection. LAW AND LIFE. T WILL be a long time before Judge Barnard and his injunction are forgotten, and long before the end of it the judge will wish they had been. The law is at times a great tyrant, and as cruel as the grave. In the hands of a bad or an injudicious man it loses its dignity and becomes mean and contemptible. Doubtless it is a duty to submit to it when it is wrong; but human life is more sacred than it is, and it may be better to be a law-breaker than a corpse. IS CHOLERA A. CRIME? HEAVEN HELP the man suspected of cholera! There is no place on land or water that belongs to him. Only the yellow flag is his, and he has no country. Sea and shore are against him, and he is hunted from place to place like a wild beast. The story of the Normannia, the Stonington and the Cepheus reads like a record of the dark ages. Fear makes men and women beasts and drives humanity out of their hearts. The revelation is as horrible as the cholera itself. OUR LOST HUNTRESS. IANA of Madison square greatly resembles the late Miss Flora McFlimsey of the same geographical location as to her lack of ha- biliments; but she can show that she is not utterly idle and friv- olous—she can use her bow-and- arrow wherewith to shoot ~ New York. We can hardly congratu- late her on her removal to Chi- cago, where she will have infre- quent and by no means charming company; but she can at least have joy that she is not going to Detroit, where she would be smit- ten by puritanic hands and smoth- ered in other women’s petticoats, FRIGHT AND FLIGHT. SRBe SEASON" at the sum- mer resorts closed too early this year, as heretofore. The most* delightful of the outing months are September and October, and gen- erally the former has a couple of weeks of the warmest weather of the year. To resume city life at the close of August is to miss very brightness and beauty and submit to discomforts that might easily be avoided. But a September storm is a great scare, and depopulates a summer city within twenty-four hours.’ The flight is.as bad as that of an army, and the fright is worse. THAT PEDDLER OF TITTLE-TATTLE. TT. WATSON, the snoop of the late house of representatives, is running * for re-election, and recently struck a Democrat so hard that that gen- tleman was forced to inquire where he was at, without getting the slight- est information, As Watson has been in two or three other fights and has drawn out a challenge to a duel, there is apparently much fighting blood in his veins. This is odd, because in most cases the snoop is a coward, We must give Watson warning, however. If he doesn’t reform his excessive sobriety he will be a dangerous man and some day he will be very sorry for it, GROVER AND THE SNAPPERS, ‘THE MUGWUMPS may be shocked, but it is eminently proper that Mr, Cleveland should dine and associate with the Tammany and the other snap leaders. Why shouldn't he? The votes at their command must elect him if he is to be elected; the mugwump vote can't. They may be bad company, but they have the ballots, A Cleveland victory will be their victory, and they have a right to the spoils which the candidate has promised them. It 2s sad that a general should be obliged to be ashamed of the soldiers who give him glory, but to ignore them would be to give up the campaign, Oh, let us not expect too much respectability of a candidate before election, It is not democratic. comicbooks.com
