What you’re looking at

This page contains multiple political commentary pieces rather than a single cartoon. The main illustrated section, "HER PRAYER ANSWERED," shows two figures in conversation—likely representing a woman petitioning a politician or authority figure about a social issue. The surrounding text discusses contemporary Democratic politics, the Chinese Exclusion issue, and debates over governmental power. References include critiques of Democratic "harmony," commentary on Senator Voorhees, and discussion of anti-Chinese sentiment and proposed legislation. The page reflects late 19th-century American political debates: internal Democratic Party conflicts, xenophobic immigration policy, and tensions between civil liberties and governmental authority. The satire targets both Democratic Party disunity and broader social prejudices of the era.

P.S—We refer solely to his health. WHEN MEN are compelled to vote they will exercise the freeman’s will at the point of the bayonet. That seems odd. HARMONY WITHOUT A CLUB. qe DISPOSITION for harmony in the Democratic ranks is so great that everybody wants everybody else to take the nominations. We never did see such polite, affectionate, self-sacrificing persons; and even ‘as they get together for consultation there is not the slightest threat of a bolt or an assassination. PORK AND PRUDENCE. OGG OF-TEXAS says he never said that in a certain contingency various public buildings would be spattered with lungs and livers. He does hate the federal army, however, quite as much as Jefferson Davis did; and if it goes into his state it had better go in large force and with a large supply of liver-pads. MODERN WARFARE. RS. RIGNEY and Mrs. Ahrens of Brooklyn had an argument, and Mrs, Ahrens seized her husband’s wooden leg and knocked Mrs. Rigney out with it, Thus we see how like begets like, ‘There was Mr. Hill of Washington, who a few days previously knocked out Mr. Gorman with the wooden head of Mr. Cleveland, his superior strength enabling him to swing the entire man like a Scottish war-club. LOOK FOR GABRIEL. BY REQUEST of Brother Bissell a Democratic convention in Erie county indorsed Cleveland and thanked Hill. This, taken in con- nection with the recent severe heat, the fight on the part of Japan against China, the defense of Cleveland by Hill, and a hurricane in South Da- kota, convinces us that Totten is right—we are going to havé the judgment in about ten. minutes.

But, to ~be logically just, the church must visit its displeasure on other kinds of money-making with vice as, x basis of them and that, rigidly en- forced, might involve a loss that would impéril.even so solid.an in- stitution. COMPULSORY GOOD GOVERNMENT.

What do they know about poker? aa AtTHOUGH MR. DEBS is frequently called a back-number he is con- stantly dating himself six months ahead, like a Christmas magazine. THE GHOULISH GLEE of the Democrats who tried to rob the grave of Andrew Jackson will come to naught. It is even possible that Cleveland wants to run again himself. : COXEY'S FAREWELL to his army ended with the word “Scatter.” We have rarely known of eloquence that was more touching and appropriate. ss LET THE TARIFF BILL go to grass,” says the Courier-Journal, So the editor of that paper has forgotten the experience of Mr. Coxey, has he? CHINA IS DILATORY. While her war minister was getting ready to fight the Japanese were whipping large parts of her army and navy. Grant said the Democratic leaders of the north were not ready to fight until the war was over. They have precisely that kind of alacrity in China. “take measures to secure the nomi- nation of propet: men. “It-'s-not so’certain that a ballot of that kind would not in time take the place of the compulsory bullet. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. A GOOD MANY collar-girls in Troy have made up their emotions to save Bat Shea from the chair. They aré peddling doggerel: about him and soliciting subscriptions for a new trial. The fact that he is a brutal murderer;has‘gscaped their observation in remembrance of the fact that he is-an unfortunate many It isthe old story of the unhappy brute and.the Soft-hearted, sill¥ Worian. And perhaps it will be better if women do fiot vote for sometime to come. REGARDING A SOUTHERN HABIT. ‘THE SOUTHERN PRESS is indignant that the young colored woman Ida B..Wells should have lectured in England against the lynching of negroes. They say she has created a prejudice against the south which is unjust and annoying. She has, however, come home, and will foster the prejudice in the north if that will suit the south any better. Meanwhile would it not be well for the south to stop its lynching, or at least to be sure that it does not lynch innocent men, as has several times been the case? Has the southern press thought of that? Nothing is more annoy- ing to an innocent man than to be hanged and “shot full of holes.” comicbooks.com
