Judge Devens shows a sharp judicial mind in a critique of political maneuvering, accusing party leaders and church connections of using religion for leverage. Articles also condemn Frank James and praise Jesse James while mocking reform advocates, and quote Jo An Rouch on wages challenging tariff rhetoric.
The speaker asserts the remarks were aimed at undermining workers and foreign labor, urging the Senate committee to recall Mr. Ronch if he cannot reconcile his two statements. The note reflects tension over labor policy and political accountability.
A Saturday gathering at Young's drew about ninety Independents and Republicans from two Massachusetts congressional districts. Lyman chaired, aiming to shelve Governor Butler, while others urged party reform and cautioned against backing the sinking Republican Party. The event drew mixed verdicts and minimal campaign impact beyond sparking debate amid rising Boston exhibitions.
The article reviews Mr Talbots letter promoting harmony within the Massachusetts Republican Party as a tactic to defeat Governor Butler. It notes prior leaders Judge Devens and Charles Francis Adams Jr and suggests Talbot would rather another candidate face Butler. It questions the logic of sacrificing his own bid for party unity and reflects on Butlerism in policy actions.
A Massachusetts Republican State Central Committee action backs a petition praising the Marsh family amid alleged mismanagement and abuse at the Tewksbury almshouse. Foster led the drive, enlisting relatives and townsfolk to lend their names for political gain, while residents question local responsibility for a state institution.
The piece attacks prolonged abuses at the State almshouse, linking them to the MARSH regime and distant patrons. It condemns the current activists and the forty eight signers, arguing the EpMunds law lacks bite without strict enforcement and could stall future anti Mormon measures.
The piece notes no candidate wants the governorship as GOP hopes to beat General Butler fade. It recalls last year’s bids by Eisner and Crapo and says Bisner’s defeat showed money and clout do not guarantee wins. Now leaders withdraw or stay silent while Butler seems assured reelection.
The article discusses Thomas Talbot withdrawing as a gubernatorial candidate amid controversy over Tewksbury mismanagement and his role as head of the State Board of Health Lunacy and Charity. It notes his forced public exposure, shift of blame to the Marnix family, and Republican reaction. It also mentions ten damages suits against the Utah commission under the Edmunds Act by disenfranchised Mormons, with early next month hearings affecting Mormon legislation.
The list of forty eight Marsh promoters includes numerous relatives and associates such as GEORGE W. TRULL cousin, JOHN TRULL cousin, GEORGE E. BROWN brother in law, AARON FROST father in law, J. E. Foster nephew, and EDWARD W. PRIDE who allegedly profited from state funds. The piece ends noting Enos was Cain’s eldest son per scripture.
A Sunday church tale warns children about a drowning incident and a snide remark about life preservers. A Baptist journal counsels ministers to read for fresh ideas. Anecdotes cover Ling the Chinaman’s failed farm, Methodists’ giving, rag stock consumption, thrift maxims, and humorous quips about watches, kissing, and newspapers. Political notes touch on Republicans and views of Ireland, England, and Shakespeare visitors.
