Foraker Vision and Ohio Seat Quietly Debated
Governor Foraker seeks abolition of the Spring election while praising progress in the New South and fund drives. Illinois Governor Oglesby declines a U.S. Senate bid after Logan’s death as editors note Enquirer access to Forsaker’s message. Mary Baker of Monon endures sixty nine days without food. Baltimore and Ohio Railroad raises wages for yard, enginemen, and other workers in a gesture of magnanimity. The Ohio Legislature plans a brief session, Dow Law remains, coal oil probes urged to be avoided, and Payne’s Senate tenure seen as unsettled.
