What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple short satirical items typical of Judge's format. The main cartoon depicts "A Soothing Countenance"—two figures in what appears to be a medical or domestic setting, with dialogue about giving someone "a chance t' rist up." The text items include political commentary on: - **"A Weary! A Weary!"** - criticizing voter fatigue from campaign appeals - **"A Remarkable Record"** - discussing a U.S. president's (appears to be Cleveland's) political career and party conversions - **"The Republican Liver"** - using liver disease as metaphor for Republican party problems - **"Thanksgiving"** - a philosophical piece on gratitude The satire targets electoral politics, voter manipulation, and party corruption typical of Gilded Age American political discourse. Without dates or clearer identification, precise historical references remain unclear, though the content suggests late 19th-century American political satire.

AY GOULD, it is suggested, waters his stock—by no means the salaries of his employés. ‘There was a man who thought otherwise, but he died. WE SUSPECT that little John Davenport had much to do with the remarkable Democratic majority in this state. He talked too much with his jaws. ROBERT B.

MADE UP of rags and tatters, the last faint offering of autumn, hardy and homely, shaggy and without perfume, strips and shreds and patches like a section of crazy-quilt in three colors, graceless in shape, apologizing for not being a flower and glad that it is not a cabbage or a weed, let us admire it with the charity of indulgence and worship it as a brand from the gardener’s burning. A'WEARY, A’WEARY! WE RECALL nothing in the late campaign more truly pathetic than the heart-rending words, “If you do not register you cannot vote.” How true they were! What sadness was involved in the unhappy fact! Every organ tried to outdo every other in promulgation of that wearisome pathos, until there was a wail from one end of the country to the other like the tumultuous fretfulness of all lost souls! Perhaps the poet of the Utica Observer and he of the Utica Herald did the finest work of that portion of the campaign, but it were invidious to specify where all did so well. “If you donot"—— God help us! let there be surcease of this long sorrow. A REMARKABLE RECORD. "EWELVE YEARS of Mr. Cleveland as the head of the Democratic party, and eight as president of the United States. That breaks the record. No other man has had three terms of that kind. No other man has skipped a term and been elected a second time. Mr. Cleveland is a pow- erful leader, and the astonishment grows when it is remembered that he is not so much an out-and-out Democrat as a mugwump Demo- crat,and that he was elected mayor of Buffalo, nearly at the beginning of his political career, against the regular Democratic and Republican tickets. As Mr. Hill says, “It is the new converts that go to the front—not the men who toil year in. and year out for the parties to which they belong.” THE REPUBLICAN LIVER. S67 WILL turn my iron mines into a hospital for liver com- plaint,” says Mr, Edison. ‘They are great for liver complaint. No matter how my miners suffer fron other diseases, their livers go right on. They may have consumption, bilious colic, inflammatory rheuma- spinal meningitis, worms, neuralgia, but their livers are all right. One day a miner died, but his liver went on as if nothing had happened. We had to take it out of the corpse and kill it with a club.” The liver of the Republican party is equally active, but there is no corpse. If there were a corpse the liver would bring it back to life. It will go right on with its little business, and four years hence the possessor of it will be as rotund, rubicund and rosy as if he had never had a disease, an accident, or a reverse in the whole period of his existence. THANKSGIVING. THE PHILOSOPHER sings himself and all the days that come to him, short and long alike. There is nothing to ruffle or becloud his toler- ance and patience and good will. If there be prosperity it is meet that he bethink him of misfortune, keeping but not being miserly of that which he hath; and if there be poverty and privation it behooveth him to think with charity, and not without gratitude for himself, of the strata of trouble that lie beneath his feet. Let the sun shine or the November sombreness prevail, there is naught that is bad for him. Of the full bin and the gleaming fire, the comfortable bowel and the satisfying outlook, the far- off skies and the near wine, he hath the moiety that sufficeth for him and his, for the gluttony of avarice and covetousness is not his. All the world is his as much as any other man’s—the sun, the moon and stars, the hopes, the expectations, and as much of realization as is good for his body and his soul. Give thanks? Who more than he? Thanks for his life if nothing else—for his life here because that, if he knows himself, is life forevermore. comicbooks.com
