The State Register mocks anti reform voices while praising Lon G. Hardin and J. M. Stout as competent candidates for auditor. Rumors swirl on Republican presidential picks Blaine or Harrison with Morrison considered but uncertain. Public discourse centers on loyalty papers and partisan commentary amid June 25 gathering plans.
In a campaign era notice the newspaper invites signed letters on public matters. The policy requires visible authorship and forbids unsigned or pseudonymous submissions. The piece discusses McCarthy of Nevada and hints he entered a state auditor race under outside influence after previously pursuing the nomination and writing amid recent pressure.
A Dubuque Times and Cedar Rapids Republican debate Henderson nomination in the third district. Washington Post praises Henderson for ability and duty while opponents caution about re nominating a proven veteran. The article argues for continued support unless bold challengers prove stronger.
The letters attack renomination of Col. Senderson and question the anonymous Black Tuk. Cedar Rapids Gazette defends Inter-Ocean expose of the political trust, criticizes republican leaders for spoils and power, and argues Harrison will be renominated despite intraparty foes. The piece laments corrupt influence and urges voters to oppose political pirates undermining good government.
The Hawk Eye argues for Harrison as the party’s logical choice with broad support from state and district conventions. It notes critics may fault the administration but asserts Harrison’s policy and wisdom warrant nomination and broad national approval.
