This 1884 page satirizes the Democratic Party's internal conflicts over presidential nominee James G. Blaine (referenced in "Isaac's Handicap"). The central cartoon depicts party turmoil—likely showing competing Democratic factions fighting over nomination strategy. Key sections mock: - **"The Democratic Gag"**: Delegates feel silenced by party bosses controlling the convention - **"A Bad Man"**: Attacks a lawyer opposing Maynard's nomination, calling him disrespectful to electoral systems - **"No King Here"**: Critiques Cleveland's authoritarian control of the Senate The text's bitter tone reveals deep Democratic Party fractures during this election cycle. Republican *Judge* magazine uses these divisions to ridicule Democrats as hypocritical and disorganized, unable to govern fairly or democratically despite their party's name.

MB: MAYNARD has the support of the Sun, and of no other creat Democratic daily in this city, The Sun always was eccentric, and it possibly supports Maynard as it did Butler in the national contest of 1884. No Cleveland man voted for Butler, and probably no Cleveland man will vote for Maynard. THE DEMOCRATIC GAG. [A DELEGATE at Saratoga protested against the nomination of May- nard, whereupon there were cries of “Shut up!"*Put him out!" “This is a Democratic convention!” We are to suppose, then, that De- mocracy means anything but free speech, and that the law of the leaders is the gag of the delegate. The boss rules with an iron hand and a brass muzzle. A BAD MAN, ‘THERE WILL BE no vote for Maynard by any member of the state bar association. Reputable lawyers will feel it incumbent on them to rebuke the dishonesty the association condemned, And surely no citi- zen who respects our elective system as the foundation of the government of the state will cast his ballot for the man who has done his utmost to break it down. NO KING HERE. HE PROPOSITION that Mr, Cleveland might resign if the senate did not act under his dictation 1s rather suggestive. However wrong the senate may be, it is composed of a considerable number of men, and they have as good a right to their independence as Mr. Cleveland has to his. This country does not need a dictator, and when it gets one it will cease to be a republic. CLEVELAND LUCK. HAVING GIVEN Mr. Cleveland the arctic protuberance, there is nobody left for the Evening Post to praise. It stands alone, a white and shining light, worshiping itself and lonesome in its solemn glory. Emperors, queens and presidents, organizations. and™ nations suffer every day from its majestic con- demnation, and no soothing thought or word comes from its imperial magnificence. But it is a good thing for Mr. Cleveland. ELECT THAT TICKET! HE TICKET nominated at Syr- acuse ought to be elected. This state belongs in the Republican col- umn, and the moral effect of a re- buke at the polls of the national Democratic success that has wrought such financial depression would be very great. The ticket has not a weak man of it. There is not one whose record is not as white as Maynard's is black. Let New York Jead in the redemption of the country from Democratic rule.

MB: HOWELLS says authors and artists ought to give away their pro- ductions and get their living from labor of another kind. That is kind, and would fit nicely into a pastoral situation; but necessity as well as: pride produces books and pictures, and without it there would be very few of them. Again, in most cases cost makes value, and this world will never be sufficiently advanced to thoroughly appreciate that which it can have for nothing. WOMEN ON THE BANNERS.

But the office of school commissioner could be as well filled by an educated and sensible woman as by a man of that kind—provided, of course, that she is without a family needing her care and attention more. comicbooks.com
