A Bunbridge Democrat quotation complains about letters from aspiring officeholders seeking to publicize their ambitions. The piece notes the paper does not work for glory but needs funds to grease the press so readers will see these aspirants as intellectual giants and statesmen.
The Times-Recorder lauds Georgia’s junior senator for a compelling speech on the Philippine question. It hails his logical, conclusive argument as unanswerable and notes his national and state pride, while summarizing debate on the Payne tariff bill for Porto Rico and its taxation implications amid an Indian Uprising mention in Benson, Arizona.
A Savannah Press letter argues against electing senators by popular vote. It contends primaries narrow to two candidates, risks corruption from financiers, and urges preserving the state senate system with upper and lower houses. The piece warns a broad plebiscite could overrepresent populous states and undermine sovereignty.
A collection of 19th century verse on women's strength and care, followed by an eclectic mix of short notices from New York and national updates. Topics include David B Hill's potential to lead New York's delegation to the Democratic convention, pension roll changes, a kidney health PSA, and local anecdotes. The tone blends literary, political, and social items with brief quips on public life and everyday events.
A New York Sun excerpt describes Culloden West Virginia where temperance advocates tried to remove liquor interest by engineering a map change.
