The Wasp — 1896 — page 626: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and entertainment listings** rather than satirical content. It features theater and opera house advertisements for San Francisco venues (Empire Theatre, California Theatre, Orpheum, Tivoli Opera House, Morocco's Grand Opera House). The only political content appears in a brief column titled **"SPLIT IN THE FOURTH,"** which discusses Republican factionalism in San Francisco's Fourth Congressional District. It mentions rival groups claiming to represent "the party of protection" and notes hopes that "an amicable agreement will be arrived at which will in some measure restore harmony." The page lacks prominent political cartoons or caricatures. It's primarily a cultural/entertainment guide with incidental political commentary about local Republican party divisions.
