The Guidon voices Democratic party jabs and commentary on national events. It lampoons Grant and Sadowa era politics, praises Norfolk and Norwich figures, and mocks the mayor’s gun salute while critiquing ecclesiastical and international affairs in a satirical late 19th century style.
In this call for party harmony the author argues compromise without surrender of principle is essential for victory. He urges selecting the best men, embracing former foes, and forgetting past quarrels to unite Democrats, end secession era resentments, and restore republican government within ten years.
The passage recalls a ten year span since the Confederacy yielded to Union power, honors the surrender of the Army of Northern Virginia and its famed commander, and notes public jubilation over the war’s conclusion and the preservation of the Union. It reflects on differing views of the Federal government and hope for a postwar outcome.
The piece extols President Grant for promoting family ties and patronage, asserting his private benevolence surpasses past leaders. It imagines his brothers-in-law and kin prospering under his term, warns of Democratic loss hindering their positions, and hints at a broader monopoly story to follow.
A fragmented late 19th century column reflects on autopsies and public figures, mocking doctors and political figures like Flick and Beckett. It chronicles ward results, school board picks, and local council appointments with satirical jabs and name checks, painting a vivid, if digressive, portrait of a city in election aftermath.
The piece argues that perpetual name calling and claims of monopoly define the Grinder and the rival organ. It notes The Guivon’s success in Democratic circles and describes the editors’ intention to support Democratic principles without undermining the organ. It mentions the Lineral Parrit editorial, Rev. Tucker, Miss Sallie, and John Jay returning from Vienna.
