Democratic Platform Attacks and Democratic Gains Report

The piece cites the national platform denouncing the Republicans for stalling prosperity and urges voters to back the Democratic ticket. It argues that wage declines and farm losses are overstated by critics, claims the Democratic administration is reviving trade, and contrasts Democratic deeds with Republican promises. It references figures from Bradstreet and Posv’s clearing house and praises Mr. Whitney and Mr. Prince for reform. Fields named Davenport, Mahone, and John Roach appear in the discussion.

Political currents clash as Cleveland backs Dems in New York

A review of recent remarks shows President Cleveland sending $1000 to New York Democrats, Secretary Whitney directing nonpolitical personnel at the Brooklyn navy yard, and Massachusetts Democrat Prince advocating civil service reform. Critics like Sherman and Woraker attack opposition, while Senator Edmunds offers a higher but partisan address. The piece weighs which party best serves state and national interests amid receding war cries and tarnished politics.

Marquis of Lorne and the dangers of political retreat

The piece rebukes the Marquis of Lorne for fleeing Brentford amid a hostile political rally. It mocks his lack of courage in the rough campaign, notes the Herald’s view of minor outbursts, and laments the erosion of knightly aristocratic virtue as he seeks safety in London, urging steadier leadership.

Conkling Attacks Davenport Nominations as Wealth Driven

Roscoe Conkling tells the New York Sun he heard of Davenport’s New York nomination while returning from Europe and says it was pushed by money alone. He denounces the praise of millionaire candidates and criticizes the state party leadership as corrupt, while noting he will not stump for Davenport.

Questions for Governor Robinson Spark Editorial Feud

The letter mocks competing papers for support of Prince and questions the governor’s stances. It notes the Herald’s stance and urges the Evening Transcript to press Governor Robinson on issues like Blaine’s value, protectionism, gas commissions, and appointments, predicting the governor’s reply may intensify the dispute.

Edmunds Linked to Mugwump Label in Campaign Notes

The New York Times reports Senator Edmunds shifted to supporting civil service reform and backing President Cleveland against Hill, suggesting he aligns with the mugwump stance this year. The remark notes the mugwump label as a byword in the political division discussed.

Price Policy Sparks Union Commentary on Harper and Copper

The Springfield Union criticizes Harper's Magazine pricing and US copper pricing to English buyers. It notes Harper sold in England for 25 cents versus 35 cents here and chides Americans for supporting a system that taxes their industry to protect it. The piece argues English access lowers transport costs and questions American pricing.

President Cleveland silent on New York election funds

A restrained stance from President Cleveland on the New York election issue draws attention to a $1000 check as a potential remedy to critics. The remark suggests a practical approach to pacify dissent and maintain political optics amid controversy.

All-Soames and a World of Oddities in One Page

A collage of curiosities and misstatements spans hotels in St Louis, a Lyman fountain, political denouncements, and peculiar world notes. It notes odd claims about royalty, a $250 Apache scalp value, livestock losses near Reno, and a mix of social snatches from New York and Paris.
