# Judge Magazine Political Commentary Analysis This page contains several brief political commentaries rather than unified cartoons. The main illustration depicts "The Soft Spot in the Goatville Eleven"—apparently a Democratic Party leadership crisis where internal divisions are causing collapse. The text criticizes: 1. **Senator Hill** for supporting home rule and opposing corruption 2. **Chairman Wilson's** poor reception after returning home, suggesting Democratic party fracturing 3. **Whitney's** contradictory positions on the Democratic platform 4. **Democratic leadership panic**—describing party chaos as nominees abandon responsibility 5. **Plutocracy concerns**—Mr. Hill allegedly accepts contributions from wealthy donors despite anti-corruption rhetoric The satire targets Democratic Party hypocrisy: claiming anti-corruption stances while accepting money from the wealthy elite. The "soft spot" metaphor suggests internal weakness threatening party unity.

M* cL ZLAND, did you spe: ANP DO NOT forget Mr. May- nard. :GOTISM of Judge Gaynor is of the sophomorical kind. vee W HEN THAT tidal wave reach- es this state it will be an ocean, DEMocraTiCc HYMN— “Plunged in a gulf of dark despair.” R. SHEPARD has gone out for wool, and David B. will come home shorn, R. GAYNOR'S HAT has grown so large that it covers both his ears. S GOES THIS STATE in ‘ninety-four so goes the nation in ‘ninety-six. MR. WHITNEY, so far from be- ing the man of the hour, is the one of several years ago. MB. HAMMERSTEIN had bet- ter drop the first two syllables of his name and drink the other. WE CANNOT admire the heading in the Utica Olserver, referring to Hill, “Eagle-eye and eagle-brain.”| David has more brain than any eagle. See? score-cards,”” HOKE SMITH tries to explain away the great reduction in the Demo- cratic majority in Georgia, and his figures are almost-as ridiculous as the one he personally cuts. THERE IS NO TAMMANY HALL in the Republican party. No part of the organization is charged with any of the crimes of which Tam- many has been proved guilty. , Its ticket is made up of honest men. They stand for good and honest government, state and local. It is a clean, honest ticket and it means reform. How can reform be more easily ac- complished than by its election? THE GOOD WOMEN of this town are in arms against Tammany, and their prayer and protest will avail much. Women beat Breckinridge and women can beat the most corrupt political organization that ever ex- isted. It is not necessary for them to vote in order to exercise an influ- ence; and it is certain that no good woman will act for Tammany against them, for to do so would be equivalent to her own disg THE SOFT SPOT IN THE GOATVILLE ELEVEN, CAPTAIN (to halfback, after the first half)—"* See here, Murphy every time yer drop on de ball yer pick out a mud-puddle ter drop in, dat don't gi De gran’-stan’ is dead onter yer. je an’ show dat yer tough I'll remove yer an’ put yer ter sellin’ HILL’S FRIENDS AND BACKERS. ENATOR HILL speaks for home rule for cities and for purity in politics. The World reminds him that he has at his back the two Sheehans, Gilroy, Martin, Grant and other men of that kind, whose acts show that they are for bad rule and for corruption, and strongly ad- vises him to retire them. What! and have nobody at his back Paddy was advised to get a trunk to keep his clothes in. “What Paddy ; “and go naked?” THE TARIFF UNFORTUNATES. HAIRMAN WILSON had a pretty good reception on his return home, but that which he was given in England was a love-feast. It was known and appreciated that he had worked for British interests, and John Bull is not ungrateful. But other Democratic congressmen were not as lucky. They escaped tar and feathers, but the places at Wash- ington that knew them will never be able to recognize them again, It seems sad, but it is just. MR. MAYNARD’S HILL, MB. WHITNEY stands for Hill, though he frankly confesses that he has at times earnestly opposed him. He doesn’t care as much for Hill, however, as he does for the success of the Democratic party. But to a large extent Hill is the Democratic party, and he is certainly the same Hill that he was. when Whitney opposed him, He is the man who robbed the state senate of its legit- imate majority; and if he has “de- veloped,” as the Brooklyn Eagle curiously suggests, his success would mean more robbery of that kind. THE DEMOCRATIC PANIC. ¢s(QHARGE!” exclaims Chair- man Hinkley's paper, the Poughkeepsie News-Press, to the unembattled Democratic hosts. Of course the order is not obeyed. The cowardice of the leaders in refusing to lead has taken the heart out of them, One after another the noted men of the party ran away from the responsibility, and the nominees talk of nothing but sacrifice and calam- ity. It isa campaign of tears and regrets, and the army is totally with- out courage or discipline. Let the army ‘bout face and there will be a charge the rapidity and confusion of which will appall the stoutest heart. THE POOR, DEAR PARTY. * GAVE THE PARTY! leading Democrats your indignation and lay aside your personal spites and save the party. Now if the party is worth saving it will save itself, That there is extreme Democratic peril is undoubted evidence that the party deserves defeat. It can be saved and reformed only through the defeat it has invited, Success cannot reform it. A victory for Tammany hall would mean a continu- ance of the corruption against which all good citizens revolt. The cry has a soulful sound, but it is the old cry of the insurance-agent, “Save the man with the red hair! He has a policy in my company.” I notice Now If yer don't drop on a REGARDING PLUTOCRACY. MAN has a right to the money he honestly makes. If some men can't make as much as others that is a misfortune for which Provi- dence is alone to blame. Mr. Hill talks against plutocrats, and the pluto- cratic Mr. Pulitzer has the same dislike of them; and other Democratic authorities speak with apparent indignation of Mr. Morton's *boodle.”* Yet the Democratic plutocracy, Mr. Whitney of the Standard oil company, Mr. Arnot of Elmira, Governor Flower and others, will contribute largely to the several Hill barrels and the candidate for governor will refuse not one dollar of their generosity. Perhaps Mr. Hill would have a law direct- ing just how much money a man shall be permitted to have; and if so he had better be honest, like some other communists, and state the exact amount. comicbooks.com
