Cabinet chatter and political oddities in a chaotic column
A fragmentary 19th century column rattles off political quips and rumors. It references seven Cabinet members with Seburz, Sam Carey debating Mephistopheles Schurz, the Lowell Convention urging abdication, and questions about Butler and Kearney. It notes Gov Dingley and Gov Connor of Maine traveling, Paul Pry in danger, Grant snubbing Jardin Mabille, Mabille's mind change, Bob Ingersoll's Scotch, and Simon Cameron's ties to a widow Oliver.
