Washington Letter on Cabinet Picks and Policy Debates
The Washington dispatch reports mixed views on the new Cabinet nominees with Bayne praising Chandler as a reformist, while Teller sparks critique. It notes Wisconsin Good Templars opposing Logan’s liquor revenue bill, a $50,000 relief grant for starving Indians, and analysis of U.S. merchant marine policy. It also surveys five Chinese exclusion bills, political maneuvering, and temperance tactics tied to Ohio Democrats and Pond law support.
