Johnson and Logan clash over senate fight and party power
The piece discusses executive legislative balance under the Constitution, citing President Johnson and President Cleveland. It recounts how the Senate opposed Johnson’s prerogatives, and how Cleveland would appoint capable, partisan allies while a Republican Senate would confirm them. It describes Illinois politics over Logan Morrison and Palmer, Judd, and the attempted schemes to block Logan. The narrative raises themes of party loyalty, executive power, and senate restraint amid a tense political maneuvering period. Hood's Sarsaparilla ad at the end is noted as a separate aside.
