If he sees a dancer's toe.
That was in March, 1892, and in the cartoon of "The Bogie Man" in the previous number, Gog and Magog are seen shaking in their shoes before the Progressives, who had been returned with a largely increased majority. Lord Rosebery had declared his intention of not offering himself for re-election to the L.C.C. in consequence of the announcement that the election would be fought on Party lines. Punch made no secret of his disappointment, for he believed that Progressivism was merely extravagance writ large, and had advised everyone to vote for the Moderates:—
Oh, Rosebery turned traitor,
And Lubbock seemed to cool,
McDougall, now, and Parkinson
May proudly play the fool.
London's delivered to be ruled
On the "Progressive" plan,
And "Ben" can bear the honoured name—
Ye gods!—of Alderman!!!
