Prohibition Platform Developed by Massachusetts Convention
The Prohibitionists of Massachusetts meeting in Worcester on September 7 1887 vow to fight the liquor traffic, calling it a colossal enemy with over a thousand million dollars in invested capital and extensive political influence. They condemn licensing as a failure citing reduced saloons but ongoing harms to morals and public welfare.

A New Writing Telegraph Demonstrated At The American Exhibit
The Pall Mall Gazette describes John Robertson’s electric writing transmitter shown at an American exhibition. A handheld transmitter moves a pen to trace on moving paper tape, with the same writing reproduced miles away on a second tape. Silent and compact, it promises instantaneous reporting from Parliament to distant offices, suggesting the nickname wire-wirer.
