Suffolk County Deputy Shakeup Prompts Mass Resignations
The Suffolk County sheriff intends to clean house with resignations from Deputy Sheriffs John B. Fitzpatrick and Thomas Fee and Clerk Wrightington effective January 1. Sheriff John B.

Presidential Timber Nursed for 1896 Candidacy
In Cincinnati on December 27 the report says McKinley faced a setback as he sought Ohio support. He offered influence to the Foraker faction for the Ohio House speakership in exchange for later Foraker help at the 1896 Republican convention. George B. Cox, Foraker’s ally, revealed Reed’s prior pledges, prompting McKinley to reassess. E. G. Rathbone’s strong Central Ohio boom for ex President Harrison adds to the machinations, with Harrison likely to wire the state delegation.
