What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertisements and business notices** for San Francisco services (dentists, hatters, cigar sellers, attorneys). However, the central article discusses **Governor Grover of Oregon and the Presidential Elector controversy**. The piece criticizes Grover's actions regarding Oregon's electoral votes in what appears to be a disputed election scenario. The text suggests Grover investigated whether electors were legitimately chosen and alleges he attempted to manipulate the outcome by pressuring Democratic candidates, with implications of fraud. The sidebar article "Don't Frown Upon Your Children" addresses parenting—warning against harsh punishment and advocating compassionate child-rearing. **No visible cartoon or caricature** accompanies these texts on this page.
