What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **editorial content and advertisements** rather than political cartoons. The masthead shows *The Wasp* is "The Oldest Cartoon Paper in Colors in the United States." The main editorial by **Thomas E. Flynn** criticizes the **Young Men's Institute** for allegedly dominating San Francisco's Democratic municipal ticket. Flynn accuses the organization of advancing religious candidates while using political machinery to control nominations, rather than serving the broader Democratic Party. The piece also attacks the *San Francisco Chronicle* for praising Street Superintendent Gileran's budget reporting, and references the **Homestead steel strike**, criticizing Democratic papers' alleged anarchist sympathies and their coverage of labor violence. The advertisements list theater performances and other amusements.
