Mayor O'Brien Vindicated On Special Election Order

Corporation Counsel Nettleton finds the board of Aldermen order for a November 17 special election in the fourth district illegal due to registration timing. The Mayor’s prudence is praised as sound law governs the process and prevents premature or invalid elections. O'Brien is deemed safer to lead city affairs under the new charter than Alderman Hart.

The Commercial Gazette notes post election sentiment shows political conditions unchanged and favorable to the Cleveland administration.

Algonquin clubs and political quarrels in Washington

The piece laments large clubs like the Algonquin and Union in Washington, praising smaller, intimate clubs. It recalls the Metropolitan’s convivial past, notes social entry through club membership, and mocks Hazen’s military leadership and arrogance.

Private and public lives of General McClellan discussed at length

The piece reflects on General McClellan’s career and birth in Philadelphia. It profiles Hon. John W. Bookwalter of Ohio, describing his rise from farm chores to wealth and a European tour. It also recounts Dom Pedro of Brazil and a controversial New York publisher, Dr Rodriguez, whose fortunes were tied to the Nuevo Mundo and political shifts.
