# "The Way He Could Go" This cartoon satirizes **William Jennings Bryan's** presidential ambitions. The caption reads: "Dang it! I want to go to Chicago!" "Yes; but you'll have to change cars at New Orleans." The joke is political: Bryan, the three-time Democratic presidential candidate (1896, 1900, 1908), is depicted as a train passenger who must make an inconvenient transfer. The cartoon suggests that Bryan's path to the presidency requires negotiating through the South (New Orleans), implying Southern Democratic Party support is necessary but comes with complications or compromises. The surrounding text discusses Bryan's ongoing political relevance and the 1912 presidential race, positioning this as commentary on his continued influence despite previous electoral failures.

Democracies are ungrateful.

How often we think of that! MB. CROKER favors expansion, but is opposed to imperialism. Strange such a difference there should be ‘twixt tweedledum and twee- dledee. MBS. LANGTRY says she isn't as old as she is suspected: and as for the man she has married, he must be so young as scarcely to have occurred. THE MAN who burned Mr. Astor in effigy would perhaps like to cur- tail one’s liberty to live where he pleases, and that would pe a blow at liberty which no American would submit to. MAN in New Jersey will preserve a barrel over which he was rolled to save him from drowning. It is not often that the outside of a barrel is capable of such life-preserving virtues. se A TEMPERANCE ORATOR says the backbone’of the president was made in the deepest depths of hell. There was never another man drunk or crazy enough to say as mean a thing as that, Why does Juoce picture Aguinaldo as a breech-louted savage? All other pictures ree that Aguinaldo wears a full complement of clothes of fashionable cut.— Elmira tt HIS. ACTIONS do not accord with the cut of his garments, blame him ! He is a savage by birth and profession and he never stays bribed. THE WAY HE COULD Go. ** Does this train go to Chicago?” “Yes: but you'll have to change cars at New Orleans.” FAUGH! ‘THERE MUST be a good deal of turning over in Democratic graves when it is considered that the party of Stephen A. Douglas is under the management of men like John P. Altgeld, George Fred Williams and Benjamin Tillman. GOOD FROM EVIL THEY TELL of a New York boy who stole money that he might edu- cate himself for a preacher. Is it ever right to do evil that good may come of it? If the two opposing forces are to be weighed does the extra weight answer as an appropriate balance of power? There is an old the- ory to that effect, and perhaps the law hadn't better consider it. THE LOWEST DEPRAVITY. ‘THE VENOM which seeks the life of a lawyer who tries to give justice to an innocent and long-suffering man is not understood outside of France. It is a species of malice of which a snake would be ashamed, It has a depth of meanness of which a savage would not be guilty. If France is the most civilized of nations, what a detestable thing ¢ STOP IN TIME. ‘s EVERYTHING 1 have tried for 1 have got.” says Russell Sage. That shows the good of being satistied with small things. A snug little fortune and a contented mind are enough to satisfy anybody. and lutch for more that you can’t mH. Vanderbilt once remarked, “A man worth a hundred thousand dollars is as well off as if he were rich.” THE TRANSVAAL. PRESIDENT KRUGER will give the English the various things they want, but he proposes to take his own time about it—per- haps ten or twelve years. Possibly. however, by the time he gets ready to grant they will be ready to fight; and by that time they may accept no concessions whatever. The old man is playing with fire and he isn’t dressed for a conflagration. MURDER IN POLITICS. MB. BRYAN SUPPORTS Goe- bel for governor of Kentucky, though Goebel is not a silver man and though some of the silver men threaten to kill the Nebraska man. Let us hope that we shall have no more of the latter kind of politics; and if the silver men know their duty they will lock up their cranks till they promise to behave. What! shall our politics be as bad as the politics of France? NEXT YEAR, | F THE WAR in the Philippines goes on through next year McKinley will be elected by a larger majority than he would otherwise have. Mr. Lincoln was re-elected against copperheads the second time he ran; and the American voters are not the kind to sneak at a war policy fully deter- mined on and which has been prosecuted some years. ‘The copperheads and the aunties do not run this country. DETERIORATION. (i LIEIVOKALANI says the Sandwich islands are in a state of anarchy. What she misses, doubtless, is the beheading business, which has been totally absent since the government changed hands. It was her the- ory of government that nothing prospered where men couldn't be killed by a monarch; and we have no doubt that her friend Grover Cleveland thinks things are going to the dogs in this republic too. THE SILK HAT. THE TALL HAT is condemned by the Chicago 7émes-Herald, and therefore, we suppose, it must go. An argument against the hat is presented by the Chicago paper in the fact that God didn’t grow it on the head and therefore it doesn’t belong there. Nor did God grow diamonds in ears, nor sun-bonnets pn women, nor gold watches in vest-pockets, nor seal-skin sacques on anybody. What kind of twaddle is that? And will not the tall hat live as long as the world does because women will that men. shall wear them? Hy- mod comicbooks.com
