# Analysis of Judge Magazine Page This page contains several political commentary pieces from Judge magazine. The main sections attack Democratic figures and positions: **"The Last as the First"** criticizes Adlai Stevenson's political ambitions, suggesting he lacks genuine support despite seeking delegate positions. **"Timmy"** mocks Timmy Woodruff's overlook in New York political proceedings, implying he's irrelevant to power struggles. **"No Room or Material for More"** attacks Cleveland's Democratic friend for claiming the party has exhausted its roster of viable candidates, sarcastically suggesting even gold Democrats won't improve matters. **"Hill the Central Figure"** discusses General Bragg and Senator Hill's involvement in Kansas political disputes. The page also includes a bottom cartoon about a farmer/teacher interaction, appearing to satirize rural education or class relations. The overall theme ridicules Democratic Party leadership and internal conflicts.

Democrat. MAYOR HARRISON says he has caught brook trout in Lake Superior weighing six pounds. ‘They had evidently left their original abiding- place for the purpose of getting more room; but they were no longer brook trout. In other words, the mayor begins his campaign lies too soon. SYA AN THE LAST AS THE FIRST. APLA! E, STEVENSON as a prophet is not without honor save in his own bailiwick. It was impossible for him to be elected a delegate from his own town to the Kansas city convention; and yet he had small trouble in getting the convention's nomination for the second place. We are again reminded that the stone rejected by the builder frequently becomes the head of the column. TIMMY. IMMY WOODRUFF was quite encouraged by the action of the New York delegation in connection with him and the vice-presidency; but in the wider subsequent proceedings he was entirely overlooked. However, he says he thinks he is in line for the nomination for governor, and a naturally buoyant disposition and corpor- osity appear to keep him afloat. As Mr. Platt says, “He is a proper sub- ject for the lightning to strike. He is in line for anything.” NO ROOM OR MATERIAL FOR MORE, C. BENEDICT, Mr. Cleveland's friend, wants another Democratic party, to be composed of dissatisfied Democrats and Republicans, and to begin with pledges himself that Mr. Cleveland is out of politics and will never run for any office again. That is a very good starting-point; but, while there are a few peace mugwumps, there are no dissatisfied Re- publicans, and while there are some gold Democrats there isn’t one of them who dares call his soul his own. HILL THE CENTRAL FIGURE. GENERAL BRAGG remarked of Grover Cleveland several years ago, after he had been turned down by Tammany hall, “We love him for the enemies he has made”; and that was the voice of the Kansas city con- vention regarding Senator Hill, after he had been turned down by Richard Croker and Judge van Wyck. The sympathy thus created might easily have given the senator the first nomination had Bryan been out of the way: and it certainly gives him the first chance in the convention four years hence. ANOTHER KANSAS WAR. REAT EXCITEMENT has arisen in Kansas because a professor in the state normal school declares that men do not love women, but are drawn to them solely by the attraction of sex. The women of the state, and especially of the school, look upon the declaration as an insult and an untruth, and are trying to drive the professor out of the school; but he is an able man and has many friends, Just at this stage of the trouble the proposition to boycott the school is under dis cussion, and the trustees of the establishment stand three in favor of the professor to three against him. We should think there was an insult involved, but it is quite as much against, the males as the other sex. IT MADE A DIFFERENCE. FarMer Greene So the teacher said you was a chip of the old block, eh?
