Political Letters on Congressional Campaign Tactics
A lengthy letter from Jay A. Avyerin, Republican Congressional Committee, to Mr. George Willis discusses claims of coercion in political fundraising, asserts no official threats exist, and criticizes attempts to criminalize political contributions. It contrasts with senators and representatives denying coercion and outlines views on campaign finance, registration law changes, and redistricting implications. The surrounding items note legislative moves in New York and Georgia, and comment on election administration and party maneuvers.

Political Assassination Angers Camden Readers In South Carolina
Letters from Camden describe the killing of Maj. L W R Blair as a political assassination. The account disputes Charleston reports that Blair advanced on Haile with a pistol, saying Blair was retreating when shot twice in the back. Blair, a former U S War official and Confederate veteran, helped organize the Independent movement against Bourbon rule, unsettling the Democratic party. The extra session of the South Carolina Legislature proceeds in Democratic caucus amid tensions.
