Who Inspired and Engineered Turner's Nomination
The piece analyzes Thomas J. Turner’s charge that Washburne influenced the nomination process, alleging Turner and Meacham used an improvised executive committee and a two day mass convention to push Turner’s nomination. It claims Turner's allies orchestrated a small, self gathered delegation from Stephenson County and other counties, resulting in Turner’s unanimous nomination amid protest that the process lacked broad representation.

The Warsaw New Yorker notes Judge Noah Davis’s humorous yet firm ruling on a liquor case, fining the seller and ordering imprisonment until paid, while spectators and General Thayer reacted.
