The Ledger claims critics of the latter-day Republicans libel the state and comments on Gov Boies speech. It notes the Lite Rock Republican, the only Republican paper in Arkansas, has suspended due to lack of support, implying a force bill is needed in that region.
A Des Moines weekly newspaper named the Leader is described as bright, newsy, reliable, and Democratic. Subscriptions run one dollar per year, with a special offer for both the Leader and another publication at two dollars and fifty cents per year.
In Dubuqne County the 125000 pound four percent bonds for twenty five years attract no bidders after weeks of advertisings. The sale has been indefinitely postponed due to lack of interest in the money market.

The Dubuque Telegraph notes hypocrisy in Republican tariff coverage as December and November imports rise, contradicting early claims that higher duties would cut imports. It argues the law fails to meet its framers' aims and marks shifting press positions on protectionism.
An unsigned Old Settler column rebukes Governor Boies for his New York speech and accuses Republican leaders of misrepresenting Iowa. The piece defends Boies’s remarks on farm distress under tariff and prohibition, cites statewide declines, and criticizes party organs for libel claims while praising Boies for calling for reform.
The Register expresses strong displeasure with Governor Boies and his pardons. It argues the paper cannot find fault with his administration and accuses it of unfair bias while demanding comparisons to past governors’ pardons and seeking specific cases of improper use.
