What you’re looking at

This page is primarily text-based editorial and political commentary rather than illustrated cartoons. The main article, "The Last Gun," critiques the Republican Party's handling of the 1876 presidential election, particularly Governor Tilden's nomination and concerns about electoral fraud. The "Squibs" section contains brief satirical jabs at local California figures and Democratic Party members. References include criticism of editor "cutting" costs, mentions of San Francisco becoming "Democratic," and comments on various politicians' activities. The page also includes notices about Democratic club activities and Senator Mitchell's speech, though details are unclear without additional historical context. Overall, this represents partisan Democratic commentary during a heated election season.
