Chandler and the party on federal control after Grant

Political Parties and Reform in Postwar Elections
The piece argues practical remedy lies in time and shifting conditions rather than quick reform, criticizing Republicans for aiming to stay in power and noting their past refusal to support CHAMBERLAIN in South Carolina and PACKARD in Louisiana in 1876.

LOG ROLLING PROTECTIONISTS IN TARIFF DEBATE AT PORT HURON
Judge Thurman delivers a practical speech at Port Huron criticizing tariff log rolling and highlighting woollen manufacturers who privately favor free wool yet denounce the Minxs bill publicly. The piece notes their fear of wool growers and questions their conviction and confidence in voters to judge equity.
Unwillingness to rely on the people to do them justice
The piece condemns threats used early in a campaign aiming to force woollen manufacturers and wool growers to unite or fail together. It argues there is no reason to believe the public would tolerate deliberate harm to one producer class by another. It says forming an unholy alliance to block such injury is discreditable.

The piece acknowledges some 1887 innovations but upholds Bresant’s bold claim as the core transition.

Rejection of fisheries treaty sways Senate bias
The Philadelphia Ledger notes the Senate’s defeat of the fisheries treaty, seen as humiliating proof that partisan bias influences high offices.
Political jingomism on the fishery treaty
A Philadelphia Times editorial argues that criticism of the fishery treaty is political jingoism on both sides. It says the treaty is correct, with extreme elements denouncing it as surrender while moderate voices approve, and that rejection stems from nationalistic fervor.
