What you’re looking at
This page is primarily **advertisements and humorous prose sketches**, not political cartoons. The main text content is "Juss Primmer uv Nu Spellings," a satirical piece apparently mocking both **office-seekers and Abraham Lincoln**. Written in exaggerated dialect (attributed to Josh Billings and A. Ward—19th-century humorists), it depicts a visitor named A. Ward meeting President-elect Lincoln at his home in Springfield. The joke centers on Lincoln being overwhelmed by hordes of office-seekers (people seeking government jobs) demanding attention. Ward's sailor-lingo greeting deliberately confuses Lincoln, who mistakes him for another office-seeker—the satirical point being that these patronage-hungry visitors were so numerous and annoying they'd become a stock complaint about political life. A secondary anecdote about **William Jennings Bryan** (1896 presidential candidate) follows, featuring a traveler's complaint about poor accommodations. The remainder of the page consists of period **advertisements** for liqueur, Old Crow whiskey, medical remedies, and other products—typical of Judge magazine's revenue model.

Fey a ear Thereg havin no politics, I made bold to visit Old Abe at his humstid in Spring- field. 1 found the old feller in his parler, surrounded by a perfeck swarm of orfice seekers. Knowin he had been capting of a flat boat on the roarin Mississippy I thought I'd address him in sailor lingo, so sez I, * Old Abe, ahoy! Let out yer main-suls, reef hum the forecastle & throw yer jib-poop over-board! Shiver my timbers, my harty !" [N. B, This is ginuine mariner langwidge. I know, becawz I've seen sailor plays acted out by them New York theater fellers.] Old Abe lookt up quite cross & sez, “Seni in yer petition by & by. I can't possibly look at it now. Indeed I can't. It's onpossible, sir!” “Mr. Linkin, who do you spect I air ?” sed I. « A orfice-seeker, to be sure,” Sed he. “Wall, sir,” sed I, “you's never more mistaken in your life. You hain’t gut a orfiss I'd take under no circumstances. I'm A. Ward. Wax figgers is my per- feshun, 1'm the father of Twins, and they look like me—éoth of them. I cum to pay a frendly visit to the President eleck of the United States. to see me, say so—if not, say so, & I'm orf like a jug handle.” I thought Old Abe would go crazy. His house and dooryard was now per- feckly overflowed with orfice seekers, all clameruss for a immejit interview with Old Abe. «Good God !" cride Old Abe, «they cum upon me from the skize—down the chimneys, and from the bowels of the yerth !" He hadn't more ‘n got them words out of his delikit mouth before two fat orfiss-seekers from Wisconsin, in endeverin to crawl atween his legs for the purpuss of applyin for the tollgateship at Milwawky, upsot the President eleck, & he would hev gone sprawlin into the fire-place if I hadn't caught him in these arms. But I hadn't more ‘n stood him up strate before another man cum crashin down the chimney, his head strikin me vilently agin the inards and prostratin my voluptoous form onto the floor. I was so disgusted I wentedst tu onct. WHEN HE KICKED, A Nebraska minister who enjoys the confidence ot the Hon. W. J. Bryan asked the presidential candidate of 1896, just before he was leaving the country on his re- cent tour, what was the best story told about him when he was before the country as the opponent of Major McKinley. “The one I most enjoyed,” he replied, * was told by a commercial traveler who put up at a village tavern in Arkansas. The accommodations were very scant. The traveler slept on the floor. He had no water to wash his hands and face. When he went to breakfast he was out of sorts. He told the landlord that his house ought to be swept away by a hurricane, The landlord made no reply, but invited the traveler to eat, The food was on a par with the traveler's room. He said it wasn't fit for a hog. The landlord was silent and passed up another dish. The traveler threw it on the floor, The landlord picked up the remnants and pitched them into a bucket, and said nothing. Just then a woman, whose appear- ance indicated poverty and poor health, passed through the dining-room. The traveler made a remark about her that was decidedly uncomplimentary, saying that he didn’t wonder the grub was not fit to eat if she prepared it. The landlord never uttered a word of protest. The traveler left the table and asked for his bill. As the landlord scraped up the bottom of his till to make change the traveler asked him, * How do you stand on this sixteen to one craze, anyhow ?” Then the land- lord's wrath asserted itself and he hit his guest between the eyes."—American Spectator.
