# Analysis: "Republicans Read Judge" This page celebrates Judge magazine's influence on Republican thought during the 1892 convention period. The central cartoon depicts a donkey (the Democratic symbol) labeled "PROVIDENTIAL BUILD," collapsing under the weight of various Democratic failures and scandals. The surrounding commentary mocks Democratic vulnerabilities—particularly around the tariff issue, currency policy ("Silver Men"), and internal party divisions. References to William McKinley's nomination suggest Republicans confidence in his protectionist platform as superior to Democratic positions. The satire argues that Judge's editorial power has exposed Democratic weaknesses to the American public, thereby serving Republican interests. The overall tone is triumphalist, positioning the magazine as instrumental to Republican political success during this election cycle.

A SIGNAL ILLUSTRATION of the power of JUDGE to mould pubiic opinion and shape public events is found in the result of the St. Louis convention. The cartoons which we reproduce in this issue date back to 1890 and tell their own story. In the years when no thought of the nomination of William McKinley was in the minds of public men, and when the probability of such a thing had not entered the imagination of the candidate himself, JUDGE saw the”unerring hand of fate pointing to the man of destiny. While self seeking politicians were eagerly scanning the political horizon, searching for the winner to whom they could attach their fortunes, and shifting daily from one favorite son to another, © Dropping buckets int» empty wells, And growing old in drawing nothing up,” Jupce, having at heart only the welfare of the American people and of the Republican party, blazed the way for William McKinley, the typi- cal American, the Courageous advocate of protection to American indus- tries, and the most conspicuous defender of the American wage-earner. Now that his triumph has come, JUDGE feels that it may felicitate itself upon: the result, since it demonstrates that JUDGE knew the American people and knew the man for the hour. THE OLD PROBLEM. THE KAISER tells the clergy to save souls and let politics alone, In many cases the soul and the history which politics makes are so closely associated that you can’t touch one without encountering the other. It is the old insufficient brevity of general orders which no conscientious clergy- man can wholly respect. NO STRADDLE, THE SILVER MEN will rule and ruin the Chicago convention, It is the sound- money men who will have to bolt or eat the large, black bird. It is beyond the power of these forces to combine so that the voters will have faith in their wisdom or their sincerity. The story is told, They must fight each other while their legitimate opponents march to victory. WIND. 66 ALL WIND,” says Chairman Harrity, speaking of the threatened split in the Chicago convention, That is what the people of St ‘Louis say of the recent cyclone iurthat town. It was wind, That was what caused the:lamentable destruction. We do not expect that the wind at Chicago will pull down the convention building, but its effect will be felt at every voting: place in the United States. THE LATER RICHARD. ICHARD BLAND is the natural candi- date of the Chicago convention, and the 7 majority of that body have started the sug- gestion, “A kingdom for our Richard!" While it is true that Andrew Jackson and other dead Democrats do not turn over in their graves, ic must be remembered that they are not in the habit of doing so and don’t know how; but there is a great ratiling of such of the Democratic dry bones as remain over ground. BUILD, BLUE GRASS. NTUCKY buries Carlisle and Cleveland, and with them the third- term business, Thus good comes out of Kentucky, and more than good because the state is likely to remain in the hands of the Republicans for a long time to come. The period of the solid south goes by, and only the bourbons weep at its passing. The change might have come more gracefully, but it is as good as if the fighting Democracy had purposely planned it themselves. THE TOO FANTASTIC TOE. ‘THE METHODISTS at Cleveland denounced dancing, but failed to say how fast one may run or how high he may jump without affronting his own or his church's dignity. It seems to us that there ought to be rules to regulate the rebellious leg. May one kick out if he doesn’t touch anything or wrench the knee or toc of the pedalistic part of his anatomy? Is the hop-skip-and-jump of childhood a wrong thing? Must one go on stilts in order to skip the improprieties? Soniiebeoks com
