Senate court defeats strongest article in series
On Saturday the Senate court voted down the eleventh article after two thirds failed to back it. The defeat largely clears the President of remaining charges. The roll lists many senators from multiple states, with seven Republicans named as acquitting. The court adjourned until May 23, while rumors prompt inquiries by Mouse Managers into possible bribery.

Popular Vote System in County Sparks Republican Debate
A local republican transfer from delegate to popular vote is defended amid accusations of borough fraud. The writers argue the change strengthens country districts, preserves party unity, and counters borough politicking while rejecting claims of hidden motives. They cite past elections to show rural voters hold more power under the proposed plan and dismiss fears of borough coalitions.

Popular Vote Scheme Threatens Township Power in County
A Virginia-like argument urges Republicans to oppose a popular vote plan reshaping county representation. The writer contends boroughs would seize control, displacing rural townships, weakening farm influence, and risking fraud, urging vigilance and marking ballots critically to defeat the scheme.
National observance to decorate Civil War graves
General Orders designate May 80 1868 as a day to lay flowers on graves of comrades who died in the Civil War.
