The passage jokes about Savannah barrooms and women managers, hints at an income tax for editors, mentions possible congressional candidate Bob Berner, and mocks Corbett and Mitchell, Watson’s non re election, a Chicago mayor killer sentenced to hang, Evans and Atkinson running for governor, and a call for fair ballots.
