The Seventh district Nationals have named Henry Kahlo of Toledo for Congress. He previously lived in Defiance before moving away and joining the Nationalists, with remarks that he has since gone crazy.
A Defiance paper laments Dems in Ohio clinging to power as district candidates wait through many ballots. It attacks Bishop & Co failure tied to the governor, questions pension plans, and accuses party leaders of dishonor while urging payment of a $20 debt. It mocks Hill Haag Haley nomination talks and notes veteran discontent over the Soldiers Orphans Home closure.
The Era comments on the GOP convention's foiled bid by the National scabs and praises James L. Price of Van Wert as the party’s standard bearer. It notes a poor Republican statewide vote and predicts a tough race, citing gerrymandering and infighting across Ohio districts.
The Cleveland Leader recaps Hon. Charles Foster’s forcible Upper Sandusky address on President Hayes policy. It praises Foster as a trusted Republican mediator and notes his later conclusion that the Southern policy failed, strengthened Democrats, and dismayed Republicans.
The piece condemns the administrations weak stance and supports Foster's anti conciliatory stance as pivotal for the campaign. It analyzes Memphis 1870s politics, the Bourbon ring, and a cross faction win. It notes a Virginia whip law for larceny and criticizes corporal punishment as a reform measure.
The Signal reports Hill and allies canvassed the district with free railroad tickets and meals to win votes. Agents used 22 railroad passes for Hill plaquers, with four unused. They claim Hill offered $1 000 and a house to secure Henry county votes for Congress. Dare Hill deny these charges publicly.
Kuhl and Blanchard have relocated their stock of coffins and caskets to an upstairs area over their previous room and will be glad to serve customers there.
