The Twins—after a recent (word) painting by Sir Thos. M’Ilwraith.“Mr. Morehead has all his life been one of a pair of twins. He has over had a peculiar faculty of discarding his twin and assimilating another. Mr. Pattison is his latest twin.” —M’Ilwraith in the Brisbane Courier [newspaper].
[Ed. 'Hop' depicts two members of the QLD Legislative Assembly (Pattison and Morehead) as infants drinking out of the same bottle labeled 'Mount Morgan'. This refers to a scandal concerning conflicts-of-interest and corruption over the leases and shareholdings related to the Mount Morgan gold-mining concern. QLD Premier McIlwraith, despite his disavowals, was implicated, but no one was held legally accountable. See biographies, Don Dignan, 'McIlwraith, Sir Thomas (1835–1900)'; June Stoodley, 'Pattison, William (1830–1896)'; and 'Morehead, Boyd Dunlop (1843–1905)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University.]

The Sydney Daily Telegraph’s “Real Leader” of the OppositionEditor Ward: “Steady, now Barton and I’ll make you a bigger man than old Dibbs, or bust something.”
[Ed. 'Hop' depicts Edmund Barton on a pillar labeled "The D.T's Gutta Perchaman" (Gutta-percha is a plant-based flexible latex), while air is being blown into his body by Frederick Ward, the the editor of the Sydney Daily Telegraph (a leading conservative daily newspaper), in order that Barton can reach the height and girth of George Dibbs, the leader of the opposition in the NSW Legislative Assembly. The message, amplified by the caption, is that Barton can neither assume the public stature nor political position of Dibbs without the support of the powerful Sydney Daily Telegraph.]
