# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page satirizes the 1904 Democratic National Convention at Saratoga. The central cartoon depicts chaos at the convention—delegates in disarray outside a building, suggesting organizational failure. The text attacks Democratic leadership, particularly mentioning Mr. Hill and Mr. Lockwood. The satire criticizes: 1. **"A Helpless Mob"** — the convention lacked coherent direction or strong leadership 2. **"The Flight of the Bosses"** — party leaders abandoned responsibility, with Hill's quote ("There is no boss here") mocked as obviously false 3. **"Three Black Crows"** — the state ticket lacks unity and coherence The satirists argue Democrats are fractured and leaderless, contrasting with Republican organization. The overall message: the Democratic party is in chaos, its bosses are fleeing responsibility, and the convention demonstrates their inability to govern effectively.

I'll write up magaifercent."” M®- HILL would like to be looked upon as the saviour of his party; but as it can’t be saved he will pose in ‘ninety-six as a victim and a martyr, WHATEVER ONE may think of the policy of Democratic denuncia- tion of the American protective association, hath not the party mixed religion with its politics in so doing? = QUEEN, who will visit her grandson the kaiser next May, is now Knitting stockings for her great-grandchildren, and will probably carry along a pot-cheese and some bread of her own making. OBLEMAN in Germany may not have an opinion without imperil- ing his friendly relations with the kaiser. He is to be rebuked and his society tabooed — He will be scolded and he won't be invited to the royal board. Yet there is a popular impression that the divine rights have been transferred from the king to the people. LAYING FOR LUXURIES. —" Keep it dark, mum; but I'm a Chicago /nter-Ocean writin’ up a artickel ‘on how it feels ter be a tramp, an’ dem ez treats me proper BAD JOB. R. CROKER would have managed that Democratic convention more successfully than Hill did. “Pity that Crape isn’t here to take care of his own funeral,” said Smith at the last rites of the undertaker so named. “He'd have had himself underground long before this.” CLOSE 'EM UP. PROHIBITIONISTS who drink unfermented grape-juice are reminded by Kate Field that their stomachs are illicit distilleries because the fermenting which is unavoidable is done in that part of the prohibitive interior department. This is not a discovery, but it hasn't been thought of heretofore. If, now, the police do their duty the prohibitive mouth will be securely closed. THE OTHER TICKETS. T WILL BE easy enough for the Republicans to beat the Democratic ticket; but they must remember that there are three other tickets in the field—that of the socialist-labor party, that of the populists, and that of the prohibitionists. These tickets are so ambushed that they are likely to be overlooked, and they may attempt a mean surprise. Then there is talk of an anti-vaccination ticket. Let us be watchful and let us not be beaten by over-contidence. A HELPLESS MOB. HE FIRM but velvet hand of a man like Mr. Platt was greatly missed in the late Democratic gathering at Saratoga. For a time the delegates were a mere mob, and when some slight order succeeded the appall- ing chaos there was a look of mingled amaze- ment and helplessness on every countenance that was extremely pathetic. Thus we see the good of organization. Had anybody at- tacked that convention in its state of con- fusion not a Democrat would have been left to tell the tale of its total destruction. REGARDING AN IMPROPRIETY. A YOUNG WOMAN was arrested in Ber- lin for kissing such men as came her way, both publicly and privately. Kissing of this kind has generally gone to the other sex, and it is frequently a bad rule that works both ways; but it is most surprising that any woman should have so little refinement as to make an open display of her susceptibilities when it is so easy to exercise them without publicity and far more satisfactorily. Think of the annayance to the person hugged. THE FLIGHT OF THE BOSSES. THE BOSSES of the Democratic party felt better after Mr. Hill made the remark at Saratoga, “There is no boss here; the people are running this convention.” It re- lieved them of an irksome and a dangerous responsibility. They had dreaded it so much that they had run away from it with all the legs they had. They had even got ahead of the men mentioned for the nominations, And when Mr. Hill and the people had done the work they heaved a sigh of relief that was felt and heard from Black rock to Coney island. THREE BLACK CROWS. THE DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET lacks the virtue of cohesive- ness. It ought to be attended with the motto, “ Divided we stand, united we fall." Hill has fought Lockwood because that gentleman was Cleveland’s friend. Lockwood has fought Hill for that very reason; and it is even questionable whether Hill’s friend Sheehan didn’t put Lockwood up for the purpose of knocking him down, ‘The judicial candidate natu- rally has the hatred of every Tammany man, That is inevitable in view of the position to which he is nominated. Of course the state Democracy and the Shepard organization would be opposed to Hill if they hadn't been invited out of the Saratoga convention; and of course the thousands of Democrats who helped whip Maynard will help whip Hill, Birds of a variety of feather do not flock together with any great success, and these three Saratoga flyers have flown apart before they have touched wings, ‘The ticket, in other words, goes to pieces of its own volition, and nobody cares enough for it to gather up the fragments, That this is the situation will be more obvious as the campaign goes on. comicbooks.com
