The Wasp — 1879 — page 830: what you’re looking at

What you’re looking at

This page is primarily **legal/administrative text**, not a cartoon. It consists of two main sections: 1. **A detailed table** labeled "REGISTER OF VOTERS" with columns for registrar information, voter details (name, floor of house, locality, sworn status, nativity, age, color, appetite, temper, character, occupation, religion, physical measurements, and qualifications). 2. **Article XI** addressing election fraud prevention—outlining penalties for voter intimidation, ballot tampering, false registration, bribery, and various forms of electoral misconduct. The page concludes with publication information for *The Wasp* and staff names. **There is no cartoon visible on this page.** The satire lies in the absurdist voter registry columns (like "appetite" and "temper"), which mock overly bureaucratic government procedures through their ridiculousness.
