# Judge Magazine Page 231: Political Satire This page contains several satirical pieces from Judge, a late 19th/early 20th-century humor magazine. **"Overheard"** mocks a conversation between Miss Horwitz and Kasberry about writing letters, using dialect humor common to the era's ethnic stereotyping. **"Diamond Cut Diamond"** criticizes Alabama Democrats and Republicans, referencing disputed electoral practices and threats of violence ("knives and guns") to resolve political conflicts—likely referencing Reconstruction-era or Gilded Age political violence and voter intimidation. **"Satisfaction"** and **"Startled"** appear to be domestic humor vignettes unrelated to politics. The overall page reflects Judge's mix of political commentary on election fraud and sectional conflict alongside lighter domestic comedy, using caricature and dialect humor typical of the publication's satirical approach.

They say they carried the state at the jst election, but were counted out. They propose not to be counted out this year, and their knives and guns will say the same thing if necessary. In this way the solid south is going to be broken and the negro problem solved. When -Democrat meets Democrat then comes the tug of war, and- Alabama may begin the breaking up this year.
