Iowa and national political currents in a 1880s snapshot
A long old clipping surveys Iowa politics and national trends including suffrage debates, party dynamics, candidate favoritism, and immigration shifts. It mentions Kasson’s possible Congress run, Kellogg's senate prospects, party machine debates in Linn county, and public notices on education and public finance, all framed in a period voice.
Machinery of politics and party unity argued by paper
A writer critiques machine politics arguing that organization is essential but warns that confined party machinery harms the Republican party here. He urges broad inclusion, a brazen broad-gangs style, and a directing power to align all working elements for success.

Grant in the coming campaign should be charged with bigamy
The Times voices cautious critique of rivals in the Grant-Tilden contest. It likens political figures to stage characters, argues Tilden is formidable despite alleged weakness, and urges Republicans to nominate U S Grant, noting Grant’s silence may aid or hinder his bid. It also wryly remarks on characterization and public perception.

Political rancor and reform battles in 1850s gloom
In Washington gossip and Illinois political chatter, Democrats face accusations of plotting to steal seats and the Sun paper's taunts about Grant’s eight-year presidency. Senate maneuvers, including Hoar’s rebuke and Blaine’s anticipated counter, frame a tense scramble over state delegations as spring campaigns loom.
