# Analysis The main cartoon depicts two cyclists blown backward by what appears to be wind or an explosion, with the caption "HOW LITTLE BILLY WAS BLOWED OFF." This is likely a satirical comment on the 1896 Democratic National Convention, referenced in the adjacent article "WHAT!—TAMMANY?" The cartoon suggests that Democratic delegates were forcefully "blown off" course—possibly referring to how William Jennings Bryan's surprise nomination disrupted expected political outcomes. The Tammany Hall reference indicates New York's powerful Democratic machine lost control of the convention. The surrounding editorial text discusses how Democrats are condemning Cuban filibustering efforts and debating party leadership, suggesting internal party turbulence. The bicycle imagery may represent the relative newness and instability of political movements.

OCTORS and clergymen are attacking the bloomers and the bicycles with such earnestness that every woman is crying out passionately, “Tl wear ‘em and ride ‘em or die”; and do we not know that great re- forms come only through tribulation? THE POWER OF SYMPATHY. MERICAN JURIES are not condemning Cuban filibusters. Possibly filibustering will increase in popularity until it becomes dangerous, Sometimes that sort of thing gets going, like the boy's whistling, which whistles itself, so that it can’t stop. Well, we have a regular army; though, to be sure, it has a liking for filibustering itself. WORK AS A DEMORALIZER. HE SARCEE INDIANS of Manitoba argue that work is not healthy and that a litle of it has greatly reduced the number of their tribe. We are tempted to say something in behalf of the dignity of labor; but, after all, these Indian philosophers will doubtles: the world that labor is neces: else. agree with the rest of merely provided it be done by somebody WHAT !—TAMMANY ?

EX- PRESIDENTS. IFE-SENATORSHIPS for ex-presidents is a proposi- tion by the Troy Press. If a senator for life, why not a presi- dent for life? Offices are not to be given away as a mere matter of compliment; and a president ought to be able to live very comfortably on the money he saves during one term. “Once in office always in office” doesn't represent the American idea of rewards or punishments.

MB: HILL might say not only that he is a Democrat, but that he is the Democratic party of the state of New York. eee ILLIE BRECKINRIDGE stumping for Wat Hardin is the last straw that breaks the Democratic jackass’s back. LOTS OF FACTS are brought back by Lieutenant Pear the pole, like Mr, Cleveland’s soil, remains in its place. DLAI believes in the civileservice idea of promotion for good behavior, and he is behaving himself so arduously that he gets fatigued. THE GOSPEL according to John Matthews of New Jersey is sufficiently illustrated by the fact that he was the father of twenty-five boys and girls. A WESTERN WOMAN flagged an express train with her petticoat and so saved many lives. If she had worn bloomers those lives would have been lost. THE ORATION that Daniel Lamont failed to deliver at Chickamauga was the finest, we feel sure, of which he is capable. Silence is never so eloquent or so silvern as in the case of the secretary of war. And we hope that the government's guns will be able to emphasize that great truth, themselves, to the end of the century. “1 it is more likely that the new dime literature devotes itself more largely to the villainy that, like charity, begins at home. GREAT HEART. MBE: DEPEW is always polite and good-natured. If he were to meet the devil he would say, * My dear sir, 1 am delighted to see you. I have long looked upon you as a statesman and a savior of things, and your ability in behalf of continuous conflagrations has won the admiration of the universe, Give me a room without a draught in it, please”; and he would get the best in the establishment. THE CO-ED. PRINCIPLE. + PRESIDENT of the Stanford university says co-education does lead to matrimony. Very well; so much the better for co-education. And furthermore, as he says, it enables girls to select good husbands and young men to select good as well as educated wives. Are there evils in- separable from it? That is a matter of personal character more than of circumstance and surroundings; and was there ever an institution that claimed perfection? SOME MORAL DEMOCRATS. PEOPLE up the state,” said a prominent Democrat at Syra- cuse, “have got tired of apologizing for Tammany.” It looks as if they were also tired of voting for Tammany; and certainly the tem- perance voters among them wilt repudiate both the platform and the ticket pretty nearly with unanimity, Nothing is at stake but che whisky issue, and if they support the Democratic idea of that they sacrifice their morality for an organization that hates them as much as they hate it. comicbooks.com
