# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains political commentary rather than a single cartoon. The main illustration depicts a figure labeled "A POLITICAL TRICK" showing what appears to be a man being manipulated or controlled, with dialogue about voting for "Bryan" and taking "Orish O'" (likely "Irish O'"). The text sections satirize Democratic Party politics and William Jennings Bryan's 1896 presidential campaign. "THE GOSPEL OF HATE" criticizes Democratic efforts to pit regions against each other during the campaign. "A BOLTING PRECEDENT" references Bryan's controversial stance on free silver and party loyalty. The commentary suggests Judge opposed Bryan's candidacy and Democratic divisive tactics, using satire to mock their political maneuvering and regional appeals to voters.

Their only other argu- ment is silence with regard to the platform, and we must say that that is more powerful the more it is indulged in. MONEY AND STATE RIGHTS.

A BOLTING PRECEDENT. MB: BRYAN has set the example of bolting ; so that disloyaity to him by the Democratic party cannot be very severely rebuked. Nothing in heaven or earth, he once said, could make him support a gold-standard Democrat for any office; and in 1893 he declared that if the party in his state stuck to sound money he would “serve his God and king in another country "—a threatened bolt from both the party and the nation, THE GOSPEL OF HATE, THE VIOLENT MEN west and south who are teaching thei fri to hate the east and north business.

THE SILVER CONVENTION at St, Louis was without polities. It was a commercial gathering and it wanted merely that the govern- ment should buy its metal. Four years hence we shall probably have farmers’ convention—though that will perhaps be populistic and hav many ideas as a hive has bees—with the leading idea that the government must buy its grain and potatoes and pay for them spot cash. And after that the government will be notified that it must get up corners on white beans, brooms, threshing-machines and tenpenny nails, THE INEVITABL POSSIBLY BUSINESS CONDITIONS will take Wall street w the Mississippi some day, along with the seat of empire. matter of time and circumstance, and the change cannot be forced. When the change comes the same state of things will come about out there that has come about here. And there will be generations of populists and poor, hard-working men and suffering women and children, both there and here, just as there are now. The conditions of creation are wrong.
