What you’re looking at

This page contains primarily political commentary and opinion articles rather than illustrated cartoons. The main pieces discuss: 1. **"What May Be Expected When Tilden Is Elected"** - A Democratic perspective defending Samuel Tilden's presidential candidacy against Republican fears of chaos and mismanagement. 2. **"General J.F. Miller and the Chinese Question"** - Criticism of General Miller's positions on Chinese immigration, satirizing his inconsistent statements about Chinese labor and its effects on American workers. 3. **"An Age of Nepotism"** - Commentary on political patronage and corruption in government appointments. The articles use sarcasm and pointed rhetoric typical of 1870s political magazines, but lack illustrated satirical cartoons on this particular page.
