Grant Lines and Union War Echoes Across Postwar News
The piece recounts Grant’s vow to “fight it out on this line” amid Civil War reminiscences and political shifts. It notes cholera outbreaks in southern areas, coal regions returning to eight hour workdays with pay issues, and the Great Western telegraph company forming in Chicago with plans to lay 100 miles of wire beyond the Mississippi. It also reports Republican discontent over officials disqualified by the Fourteenth Amendment, a saxon gun improvement, a La Crosse Democrat branch office criticized as mean, cross-country travel highlights, and lingering political debates between Seymour Blair and Grant factions with implications for war and peace.
