# "How It Was Done" Cartoon Analysis This cartoon depicts two figures—likely political operatives or strategists—discussing electoral manipulation. The caption reads: "I really think that the 'jake' was the cause of MacNab marrying Miss Scanlon." "That's odd." "Not at all. You see, they were thrown so much in each other's society." The satire appears to mock backroom political dealing and voter influence tactics of the Gilded Age. The figures' exaggerated poses and the absurdist logic ("throwing people together" to engineer outcomes) suggest criticism of how political machines manufactured consent or outcomes through manipulation rather than genuine democratic processes. The style and context suggest this critiques late 19th or early 20th-century American electoral practices.

A MAN in Michigan died from the effects of kissing a dog.

HE SILVER MEN are claiming most of the labor organizations. In point of fact there isn’t anything they don’t claim. It is easy work, and the smaller the rooster the more the noise. These gentlemen are amazed at their temporary success, and so are others; but, as was sug- gested by somebody at St. Louis, the worker wants as good a dollar as the dollar of the gold-bug. TWO AMERICANS ABROAD. THE ADMISSION of Waldorf Astor to the society of the prince of Wales is an honor to both, Mr. Astor is quite as good a man, not- withstanding the malicious envy of persons who blame him for his wealth; he can write very good books, and the prince can’t. It reads curiously, how- ever, that he owes his honors to the influence of Lady Churchill, whom he may or may not marry, We should say that that part of the story ought to be impossible. STRATEGY. M*- WHITNEY and his party want the double standard, of course. So they say. What they think, you know, is that there must be a post- ponement of that desired consumma- tion merely as a matter of necessity. It is impossible to do justice to silver by national or other platform, and to try for it is to postpone the reform in- definitely. That kind of talk is pretty and ingenious; but it cuts no refriger- ation in this July weather and it alto- gether skips the Gordian knot. THE COLORED BROTHERS. [N MAKING OUT a list of dele- gates, according to a dispatch, Mr. Hanna used the words white and black, and the black delegates felt themselves insulted by it and were ready to swing away from McKinley because of Their quarrel should have begun with their Maker. Mr. Hanna merely re- corded facts which began their exist- ence at the times the various delegates were born, and didn’t suppose the black men were ashamed of their color or their race. However, they didn’t get away from McKinley, and as the dispatch appeared as a special in the Albany Journal it probably wasn't so. THE JUDGE AND THE VOTING MILLIONS. Ihave been a constant reader of the Juoce since the campaign of 1884, and expect to continue in the same line as long as the paper advocates the Republican doctrine. T think it ‘one of the best political papers in the country. My boy,aged six years, is as anxious to see the Juve each week as Tam, and I hope it will help to instill in his mind the great princi- ples of the Republican party. I thinie the Jupce will help roll up a big majority for Mc- Kinley and sound money, with its telling pictures and sound editorials. I remain always a reader of the Junce. O WRITES S. A. Lowe of the Central drug-store of S. A. Lowe and company of Scottdale, Pennsylvania, The letter is typical of hundreds received at this office, and which are especially numerous during a national campaign. The influence of a national journal like the JUDGE, conscien- tiously conducted, earnest in advocacy of principles in which it honestly believes, asking for no office and expecting merely the fair reward that belongs to business enterprise and integrity, is unavoidably very great; and we suppose that our contemporary Puck, on the other side of the political establishment, can truthfully present the same claim and show the necessary evidence. The cartoon is the story of the campaign, and among the millions of voters there are few who do not feel that it gives them per- sonal suggestion and the sense of a personal interest and favor. comicbooks.com
