Republican Harmony and Nation’s Campaign Tone
A compendium of 1899 era political notes extols party unity among Republicans across states, promises a harmonious Pennsylvania State Convention, and denounces division while praising national aims in the coming presidential campaign. It also mocks fashion in corn eating, cites Dewey and Allison, and notes a Sabbath-era incident in Derry township. Relates a reader’s letter from July 28 1899 praising local paper coverage and sending a contribution to PROGRESS.
