What you’re looking at

This page contains articles and advertisements rather than a prominent political cartoon. The visible illustration shows what appears to be a figure in period dress, though details are unclear. The text discusses Republican Party politics, including commentary on California's congressional delegation and upcoming elections. Articles mention Dana (likely Charles Dana of the New York Sun) defending Cleveland, references to the World's Fair costs, and labor issues like millworkers' strikes in Vancouver and Chicago. The "Hummings" section offers brief satirical commentary on current events—free sugar tariffs, Cleveland's political prospects, and local incidents—typical of the magazine's snappy, gossipy style targeting political figures and social issues of 1890s California.
