New platform needed for National Democracy says Henry Watterson
Henry Watterson of the Louisville newspaper argues for a new platform and leader for the National Democracy. A column reproduces an anonymous moral admonition about speaking ill of women. The paper discusses Post Office rents in Anderson, urging better box facilities and mail boxes near the Court House Square and depots to aid business. It criticizes Judge Benet’s remarks on the slavery cases and laments harm to tenants and laborers, calls for stricter labor contracts, and notes Southern shoe and paper industry developments, including a bagasse paper mill near New Orleans. The piece ends urging continued southern economic progress.
