Illinois Republicans State Convention Proceedings at Springfield
The Springfield gathering opened with prayers and a chairman’s address, naming officers and committees for credentials and permanent organization. Delegates from districts elected candidates, including a state water position with Smith prevailing 64 to 124 for Parry, and Charles Strattan named for Superintendent of Public Instruction. The State Central Committee lists named members across Cook, Lake, Warren, and other counties. The resolutions affirm Republican policy on fair elections, debt management, tariffs, civil service reform, and unity, with debates over constitutional amendments and liquor prohibitions. The convention adjourned after nomination and address, with a note on attendance and local conditions.

Tennessee Debt Quarrel Splits Democrats in 1880s Split
Tennessee politics are shown as Democratic factions fight over repudiation of debt. The 100-3 bond plan failed, 60-3-45-6 offered compromise, Hawkins’ Republicans likely to win. Tennessee strife extends to legal confrontations with Bourbon control and race-related registration disputes, prompting editorials on state vs national authority.

The South Carolina Plan and Federal Resistance
A reader describes South Carolina officials openly defying federal officers over new state registration laws aimed at disenfranchising Black voters. United States Deputy Marshals protested near registration rooms, were ordered out by a state supervisor, and the supervisor faced arrest twice while the process continued under bonds.

Morrison assails policy driven Democrats in Illinois voice
A Cleveland era critique argues Congressman Morrison of Illinois mocks the Democratic push for a policy as mere office seeking. The piece claims Democrats have chased voters with the "try us" refrain, arguing one ounce of principle beats tons of policy. It also mentions a Paris wine experiment where sour wine aged rapidly after an electric treatment.
