# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains political commentary and short satirical pieces typical of Judge magazine's format. The main cartoon (center) depicts what appears to be a military or political conflict scenario with figures in combat or flight. The text pieces critique various political figures and movements of the era: - "A Populistic Fad" mocks populist objections to wealth inequality - "The Blue and the Gray" references Palmer and Buckner's political positioning - "Noisy Little Men" attacks Tillman and Watson as unsuitable for office - "Citizen or Traitor?" questions whether bolting from a political party constitutes patriotism The commentary suggests this addresses late 19th-century American political divisions, likely involving populism, Democratic party splits, and debates over political loyalty—though specific election references aren't entirely clear from this excerpt alone.

W DOUBT if Mr. Black franked his soiled linen from Wash- ington to Troy, but any- how he never had any of it washed in public, is TILLMAN finds that he is not the boss of South Carolina, ‘That state has much to answer for, but it still has a little self-respect. er MB. WATSON is wrong in his assertion that Mr. Sewall is a bump on a log. He is two bumps at least, and we dare say a few knot-holes. [F MRS. LEASE has made fifty thousand dollars by lecturing she has a right to believe in the principles she advocates, no matter whether she possesses some of them or not. THE SHOWER of toads that stopped a freight-train near Topeka, Kansas, shows that the able miscellaneous liar of the west is not yet downed by the populistic orator. THE HISTORY of the populistic national convention is written in one sentence by one of its leading men, I. Donnelly—* The fanaticisms, the bigotry and the follies of the hour.” AY WOMAN, according to Mrs. Jenness Miller, can get along on two dresses a year. This seems like econony who got along, to begin with, on no dress at all. but there was Mrs, Eve, THERE WERE DEMOCRATS in 1861 who wanted to fight with the confederates because they thought theirs the regular ticket. It would be as reasonable at this time to train with Bryan and the populists because they have hooked the Democratic organization and train under its banner. ‘Then, as now, it was a choice between treason and patriotism, WAR EXTRACT.

HE OBJECTION by certain populists to the high hat is natural. They don’t want to wear high hats, and therefore they iusist that others shall not have the privilege. They are poor, and therefore it is sinful for others to be rich. They have contempt for the polished shoe and the clean shirt, for these are typical of the well-to-do. Secretly. they envy decency in apparel, but openly they denounce it. It is their little fad. THE BLUE AND THE GRAY. PALMER AND BUCKNER have clasped hands across the bloody chasm. There is a pretty sentiment in the term “the blue and the gray" as applied to the Indianapolis ticket, and it will hurt no feelings at this day, north or south, The purpose of the ticket is good from a national and patriotic point of view; but the sound-money Democracy will act more directly for prosperity and nationality by voting for McKinley straight. NOISY LITTLE MEN. TILLMAN AND WATSON are the kind of men that are not wanted in responsible positions in this country. ‘Their vulgarity is as large as their volubility, and such of their friends as have the gift of courtesy are as shocked at their utterances as is the general public. Let us pray to be delivered from the Sam Joneses of politics When they reach the period of common sense they will be ashamed of themselves, but they generally die long before that. CITIZEN OR TRAITOR? ‘0 BOLT from a party that has fallen into the hands of revolutionists is, as General Harrison says, a privilege and a duty. It is not mugwumping, be- cause the mugwump bolts whenever the ideas pecul- iar to himself alone are rudely jarred. It is a dec- laration of independence against the pirate who has stolen the livery he wears. If one cannot be a good citizen and at the same time retain his partisan ship he has only one hon- orable choice. AN AWFUL PRE- DICTION. elected,” says Chair- man Jones’to the work- ingman, “your children will be serfs."" He might have said “‘slaves,” but the other word is prettier. And if he had been more of a populist he wouldn't have stopped there. He would have had the children in the penitentiary before the election, or perhaps in the grave. There is no ex- aggeration too great {or the new Democracy, and while they are about it they want to make their lies as large as possible. —SEe SEWALL GILLAM. : HE DEATH OF SEWALL GILLAM takes from the JUDGE a thor- oughly good, able and valuable man, and ‘adds to a record of death in his family that is recalled with the utmost regret. He was built largely, physically and mentally, and his’ affectionate nature remained sweet and wholesome notwithstanding the grief that death brought so often to his door. No man knew him who was not his friend, and it will be long be- fore the JUDGE becomes reconciled to the vacancy his death creates, a POOR OLD GIRL. MBS. CHANG is believed to be the richest woman in the world. She has a thousand servants and the smallest feet in China; her ward- robe includes two thousand coats and other articles almost beyond com- putation, and she has her hair dressed in fifty different ways. We do not give these facts to create envy; and indeed the lady is even to be pitied, for she cannot be a new woman and wear bloomers; she cannot walk. and she cannot ride the bicycle. And what shall it profit a woman if she have half the world and cannot talk politics from some kind of platform? : i comicbooks.com
