What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **advertising and announcements** rather than satirical content. It contains theater listings (California Theatre, Bush Street Theatre, Grand English Opera at Woodward's Gardens), business advertisements (wines and liquors, blasting powder, a restaurant), and notably, **political advertisements for the 1880 election**. The political content features candidates for judicial and police positions—Sam'l H. Dwinelle (Judge, Fifteenth District Court), Robert Ferrall (Municipal Criminal Court Judge), and A.C. Bradford (Police Judge)—all identified as "Regular Democratic Nominee." The October 10th election date and "Regular Democratic Nominee" labels indicate this reflects San Francisco's local Democratic Party slate during that period. There is **no visible cartoon or satirical imagery** on this page.
