Fragmented 19th century political notes and a Senate district convention
A collage of political commentary touches on free whiskey as a Republican flaw, Spreckels and the sugar trust, a Chicago divorce by confusion, and a Minnesota congressman turning to railroad work. It reports a Virginia Republican split and details a Bainbridge Senatorial District convention with rotation debates, representation basing on 1880 census, and motions settling future rules.
