Indianapolis Boom Air Reforms and National Pensions Talk
A diary of 1880s Indianapolis chatter notes census reshuffles among US cities with Chicago overtaking Brooklyn and others shifting ranks. It then shifts to politics and personalities from Harrison, G A R veterans, to Indiana governors, Mrs. Jenness Miller on women’s dress, Gladstone’s Irish ties, and Panama canal schemes. The piece ends with currency reform calls, a nod to the Commercial club, and a lingering buoyant claim that Indianapolis is in a rising, reformist boom.
