# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page The central image is a circular portrait photograph of a man with distinctive facial features. The caption quotes him saying "NOW YOU SON-OF-A-GUN GET YOUR HAIR CUT," attributed to McKinley regarding Ohio politics. The page's articles mock various public figures and issues of the era. "Abusing the Dead" criticizes Bryan (likely William Jennings Bryan) for misquoting deceased historical figures for political purposes. Other brief items satirize contemporary politicians including Derham Temple Houston (described as a potential presidential candidate) and references to Democratic politics. The content reflects Judge's Republican-leaning satirical stance, targeting Democratic figures and policies through humor and caricature. However, without clearer identification of the photograph's subject and specific historical context, precise interpretation of some references remains uncertain.

THE FACT that wheat goes up while silver goes down punctures two- thirds of Mr. Bryan's argumentative tire beyond recovery. THE FATHER of Mr. Bryan favored honest money; but we must not for- get, in bebalf of the populistic method of argument, that he is now dead. see WE ARE TOLD by the Syracuse Post that the Democratic party is “sow- ing to the wind.” Well, where's the harm? Doesn't it furnish the wind, too? THERE MAY be a sort of providence in behalf of Thomas Watson. His throat is so sore that he can’t talk, and therefore he will get some votes. eee MB: BAYARD has the spirit of a man even against the danger of Eng- lish displeasure. He wrote a long letter in opposition to Bryanism and signed it with his own name. WILBUR F. PORTER ought to be aware that he is occupying the place to which John Boyd Thacher was regularly nominated.

(Photograph sent to us by S.G. Koloson, Delpho, Ohio.) ABUSING THE DEAD. UOTATIONS from dead men by Mr. Bryan are generally so false that one wonders there isn’t an early resurrection for the purpose of retaliation. It’s a bad man who strikes another in that way when he is down or dead; and an educated people will make it as unprofitable as it is mean. But alas! Great Casar, dead and turned to clay, must open mouths to let the Bryans bray. WOMEN AS RECEIVERS. HREE WOMEN LAWYERS of this town have been appointed receivers in supplementary proceedings. The contesting parties have our congratulations. It is even possible that there may be settlements in their cases before the money involved is altogether exhatisted. For women are naturally honest and conscientious, and they are given to mercy in behalf of men who come within their jurisdiction, THE NEXT. ERHAPS TEMPLE HOUSTON will be the next pupocratic candidate for president. He is noble and lives out west. His picture shows a stalwart with a fine face, and he wears his trousers without suspenders. He killed a young man. Then the young man's father, who is a judge, spat in the face of one of his children; and then he killed the father. Many newspapers of his locality praise him for his nobility of character. We feel quite sure that he is likewise a cowboy orator. BUSINESS AND THE FLAG. M® HILL'S PAPER, the Elmira Ga- selte, insists that the flag shall have no candidates’ names on it. It holds, we suppose, that such names are a species of advertisement, and for that reason they defile the banner as might an announce- ment by any grocer. ‘There is much to be said on both sides of this proposition; but, in order to save space, let us come rapidly to the conclusion that the only proper place to advertise is in the prevailing newspaper. THE SUNDAY BICYCLE. PLYMOUTH CHURCH of Brooklyn invites young persons to come to its Sunday-school on their bicycles, and has provided racks for the safety of those vehicles. That is the beginning of the end. No man or woman will be chided for taking advantage of this sensible lib- eralism, and in due time every shed for the accommodation of horses on Sundays will be torn down. And thus the problem whether to work horses on Sunday for church purposes will be happily solved. REMARKABLE MAN. THE IDEAS IN PICTURES to which Mr. du Maurier devoted himself so many years were the brevities which come from analyzation and condensation. He studied fads and their effect, and knew them by heart; and a picture told their whole story, as Bret Harte’s “Heathen Chinee” told the story of the hatred nursed by certain classes for the invading Chinese. It is therefore the more curious that, at sixty, Mr. du Maurier should have written at such great length and so successfully. THEATRICAL SLUSH. A STAGE-KICKER has herself sued for a large milk-bill, and the evi- dence on the trial shows that she bathes in milk every day. The milk sold her is blue and has apparently been mixed with some pure but nevertheless repulsive water. Then the reporters get after her, and she gets columns of advertising for nothing. Shall we blame her, or for that matter the truly wicked sisters? Well, for one thing, the sensational dailies print too much slush and get in return for it nothing but disgust. TALKED HIMSELF TO DEATH. ++ TRILBY” has killed me,” said Mr. du Maurier just before he died. It strikes us that Mr. Bryan may truthfully say the same thing of his oratory. It was delightful at Chicago. It was for a time very success- ful. But it went on and on, and directly it invited the criticism which showed it to be sound without sense. The novelist made no mistakes, but he died. Mr. Bryan has many times been exhausted by his oratory, and in a few days he will pass on, to be heard of in national politics no more forever. comicbooks.co
