A barrage of rumors and debates sweeps across state and national politics with Ban Tartar and Hart named as contenders, McKinley debated as a possible nominee, and discussions of silver, tax reform, and party realignments echoing through newspapers. References to Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas, and St Louis illustrate a nationwide contest shaping up ahead of conventions and elections.
New York reports a March 1 election update as Kenner and Hiawatha Hart ride into a post ballot scene. A Spanish soldier fired at United States Consul J. D Hall from a prison wall in Santo John on March 4, missing him by inches and causing wide alarm. Consul Hall informed Washington of the attempt, while South Cambria’s passenger Felix Taussig relayed the scene. Postmaster at South Pittsburgh appointed. J J Ingle replaced.
The city held a highly notable election with PAW elected by a 22 vote margin. Supporters credited Hart for steady leadership while opponents argued Taw was the better choice for mayor. The ballot campaign was heated with Republicans aiding the victory.
Fragmentary line hints at a metaphorical description of the city as a game bird and a bat in tick at heart. No clear event, person, or organization identified.
This fragment reviews the March Current Literature with essays on The History of The Hunt and a critique of The Western Union Telegraph Company. It highlights John Clark Ridpath and Frank Pursoo among others, and notes biographical pieces and fiction including works by Arthur Quiller-Couch and Mrs Atherton. The piece praises the issue as timely, entertaining, and valuable with numerous articles, poems, and editorials.
A garbled item references a vice presidential boom and insults at a congressional floor moment over silver coinage, with a quoted ominous remark. It also notes a marriage on a Monday evening at the bride’s mother's residence, E G Speers to Daisy M Smith, with a minister from the local church officiating.
