Garfield and Dorsey attack spark public anger
A hostile broadside against General Garfield and Dorsey is dismissed as hearsay and malice. The piece accuses Garfield of failing to defend the Star route, of being offered a Cabinet post, and of breaking promises to New York Stalwarts. It calls Dorsey unreliable and vilifies him as untrustworthy and corrupt.

Political Outlook for 1881 in Democratic and Republican Parties
The Burlington Hawkeye notes the Democrats face a severe wrangle over their presidential nominee and tariff platform with scattered hopes for Tilden or Hancock, while Indiana factions split and a Western candidate may emerge. Republicans, confident in a clean national record, expect a united bid for the presidency with no platform disputes and broad party support.

Amid Democratic Harmony Denies Real Unity Across The South
The piece surveys competing factions backing Mr Randall for Speaker from Bourbon and progressive camps in the South and notes their contradictory motives. It cites the Mobile Register praising Randall for Alabama iron interests and the Detroit Post and Tribune commenting on Democratic bluster. The column parodies party harmony while warning of internal frictions ahead of 1884.
