# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page satirizes Democratic Party infighting during what appears to be a late 19th-century election cycle. The central cartoon depicts a chaotic fight among Democratic figures, illustrating the column "That Divided Party," which states the Democratic Army is "divided into eight different sections" fighting each other more bitterly than fighting Republicans. Key targets include: - **Mr. Morton** (praised for honesty and judgment) - **Mr. Hill** (criticized for supporting tariffs and lacking Democratic unity) - **Tammany Hall** (the corrupt New York political machine) - **Grover Cleveland** (referenced dismissively) The satire's point: Democratic internal divisions over policy (tariff, governance) and corruption make them ineffective opponents, consumed by factional warfare rather than unified political strategy.

MORTON. NOBODY DOUBTS the ability and honesty of Mr. Morton. His good judgment enables him to fill properly and well any position to which he may be called. We have evidence enough of that in his record as president of the senate and minister to France. He is certain to do noth- ing improper or unwise, and he has yet to meet the exigency he cannot control. THE ROAD TO LIBERTY AND HONOR. THE CHIEF BUSINESS of. good citizcas this year is to kill Tammany hall. If they do that they will likewise elect the Republican state ticket; and they will relieve themselves of worse bondage and corruption than were exercised by Mr. Tweed. ‘The vote of every honorable man must go against Tammany and for Morton and Saxton. No more Tam- manyism and no more Maynardism! The city and the state have been robbed and disgraced long cnough. TWO OFFICES FOR ONE MAN. “THE GOVERNORSHID of this state is not an office to be kicked about like a foot-ball or held or given up to gratify the whims and ambi- tions of any one man, Mr Hill humiliated it when he was made senator ; and if he were to be elected to it again it is nearly certain that he would turn it over to Dan Lockwood and go back to Washington, virtually keep- ing both offices, as Lockwood would be merely his representative, The state of New York covers too much territory to be belittled in that way. HILL AND THE TARIFF. Mé&. HILL voted against the tariff law which is a part of the plat- form on which he stands. Perhaps that has something to do with the prevailing Democratic indispasition to discuss the tariff; but it is worth men- tioning that every Democrat in the senate is opposed to him in whole or in part on the tariff question, and to them the spectacle of his running for governor is the absurdest thing in poli- tics that was ever known. Doubtless. Mr. Hill thinks so too, and that is proof enough that his nomination was not contemplated by himself. THAT DIVIDED PARTY. HE DEMOCRATIC ARMY is divided into eight different sec- tions, and each proposes to fight the others more bitterly than it fights the common enemy. The struggle to see who shouldn't lead this army was long and violent, and when it ended the candidates felt worse than anybody else, Many days elapsed before it was positively known that the candidates would run; and now the only question is which section shall get the most re- venge and shed the most Democratic blood...

HILL, in boat with Dan Lockwood during a storm—"Can you pray, Dan?" Dan—"Not a pray.” Mr. Hill—"Um. 1 wish Matt. Arnot were here. We've got to pass the hat.” MB. HILL'S SACRIFICE is much talked of by Mr. Hill and the regu- lar Democracy. They seem to think it will go from the slaughter- house at Saratoga to the universal sepulchre. There has been nothing so melancholy in politics since the premature burial of Jones of Binghamton. chained in that manner to prevent him from doing himself and his friends 1TOR—"* What is the nature of his hallucination ?” He imagines he is Grover Cleveland.” THE UNORGANIZED “ PEOPLE.” THE VALUE OF PLATT grows more apparent as one contem- plates the sickening chaos’and final action of the Democratic. mob at Sara- toga.

THE EDITOR of the Brooklyn £age supports Hill because he has «developed "—he is not the’same Hill, but a new one. Thus it is demonstrated for the first time that the stream can go higher than its fountain, or perhaps that, regardless of natural law, a slight acclivity can grow into a mountain. We have long looked upon the editor of the Brooklyn Eagle as the most ingenious of logicians. Nothing bothers him under his repeatedly demonstrated proposition that the only consistent thing in human nature is its inconsistency; and in his opinion just as the twig is bent the tree grows the other way. comicbooks.com
