Wild-eyed poet mocks politics amid 1888 election talk
A fragment from the Chicago Herald column juggles political satire and comic asides about Ben and Lige debating elections a stormy 1888 race, and hints at party shifts. It notes ticket venders antics in Zanesville and remarks on Grady, Foraker, and Cummings with playful jabs at Republicans and Democrats.
