A garbled report notes Soormans the trickster at home last week as Licking County committees publish responses to an appeal to withdraw. The letter is labeled an insult to democracy, with references to a reply and various names and schemes and a strike against the authors.
The unsigned editorial blasts Democratic figures and Copperhead papers over inflation policies and wartime accusations. It defends Sammler Cary as a model of consistency, targets General Tortie and rival editors, and urges voters to rebuke proslavery rhetoric and shop-worn opposition.
Amid sharp partisan rhetoric the piece notes the Democratic House bill granting pensions to Coerras widow and father is rejected by the Senate while the Republicans grant Mrs. Custers full pension to match rank. It contrasts with a statement from Mr Tieves warning Hamburgers that blacks have rights and that peaceful Fourth celebrations do not justify brutality, questioning his future as Chief Magistrate.
The piece discusses a Harper's Weekly plate criticizing reformers and praising canal interests, with captions mocking minority groups and praising railroad ties. It references Tilden, Hendricks, Clymer criticisms, and political figures like Tuomas Thornhill, Bonapartes in Union, and the 1879 specie resumption pledge, all within a Civil War era political context.
A lengthy Union era column rails at Confederate Democrats over the Hamburg massacre and postwar policy. It cites Grant Chamberlain correspondence, accuses Hendrichs and Henonicas of fraud, recalls Gen Butler’s role, and foresees peril if Tilden and Hendricks win. It pressures Northern Democrats to curb Confederate rhetoric and violence.
A jumbled column lampoons Illinois and Indiana politics, lists candidates and party notes, and critiques editors and newspapers. It references Filler and Nebloksias, Orr stepping aside, Bun Harrison replacing, and party unity calls. Also mentions Hayes Wheeler clubs, German sentiment, and Caldwell dispatch debates.
During a Cleveland storm eight houses were struck by lightning killing a girl named Barbara Raich. A brakeman named Joan Swanley was run over and badly injured after falling asleep on a Cortland track. East Toledo property owners sue the Pennsylvania Railroad for damages over land appropriation totaling $78,000.
Reports detail multiple fatal and near fatal incidents including two men killed by a falling scaffold at St. Peter's Church in Montreal, a fatal shooting in Detroit after a card game quarrel, and a farmer's fork accident in Eagle Michigan.
