It mocks political maneuvering, mentions Blaine’s reaction, and touches on other Capitol Hill happenings from Congress attendance to bills and local developments in Johnson City and surrounding areas.

Thief Burns Records. Mayor Posts Reward at $75
A Thursday break in at the Recorder's Office saw top of the desk burned and papers scattered. The mayor offers a $75 reward for the arrest and conviction of the guilty party or parties. The incident disrupts work but provides little material loss to the office until matters can be refiled. Details suggest the act was a deliberate payback by someone recently fined. Separately, Young Men's Christian Association officers were elected for six months including Provident S. R. Miller and First Vice-President S. P. Bolton. The group plans a Fourth Anniversary meeting with State Secretary J. B. Milligan attending. Finally Clark Howell is named managing editor of Constitution Publishing Company, succeeding Henry W. Grady.
