Henry Republican and Our Chicago Letter from 1874
A political column from Caidaco dated November 9 1874 laments Republican losses in state and city elections. It argues voter apathy and corn-husking bribes influenced results, predicts a Democratic House and Senate in 1876, critiques the Chicago Tribune leadership, mentions Jack Sturges investigation and expected whitewash, and notes church attendance and pleasant weather as context. It ends with plans for a reunion of the 112th DuDols volunteers in Ming.

Punkin Pi Asserts Old Time Beverage Legacy
