A notice outlines an advance year plan for presidential voting in 1876 naming Rutherford B. Hayes of Ohio as the candidate. The document reflects party alignment and scheduling considerations for the upcoming election.
The item notes Blaine as a leading candidate with Maine’s delegates at the Republican convention. It mentions Hayes as a top name for the presidency and cites political maneuvering in the Ohio Senate with the Catholic Church over St Geghan's act. It also reports rising Mississippi River channel depth and a large Centennial cost and fundraising, plus a short note on a local personal injury.
A Cincinnati or Ohio newspaper early names Gov Hayes in connection with the Republican presidential nomination. The piece notes the paper will support him, though the reference presents a cautious, unremarkable record.
The piece argues that sectional bitterness persists in seaboard and New England states, aided by Jefferson Davis's oratory and the Grangers. It cites Kerr's House leadership, chairmanship distributions, and party strength to show sectarian bias in Congress and warns against reviving sectionalism.
The article reviews Mr. Hill of Georgia urging a warlike mobilization if Republicans win in 1876, condemns his Confederate past, and notes Southern Democrats and White Liners rallying to his forceful, disloyal rhetoric as dangerous to the Union.
The article argues the Democratic party shows strong sympathy for the Confederate rebellion, accusing many House Democrats of disloyalty and siding with rebels over Union soldiers. It claims rebels expect favored treatment and that Democratic sympathizers from certain regions reflected disloyal constituents, drawing nationwide alarm. A line on greenback circulation appears with a sum of 371,213,140 dollars.
