Halstead's Murderous View of Lincoln Exposed in Civil War Letter
Murat Halstead, once involved in Republican forums, wrote a scathingly hostile private letter to Governor Chase alleging Lincoln should be killed and accusing Grant of ignorance and drunkenness.

A reader reports Judge Alf Brown warned that opposition papers will fall short and a fade could sick the Pops and Democrats. The rumor claims a Baker fusion pact would have Baker men vote for the fusion senator if Burton backers win a Republican majority on joint ballot, with fallback to Baker if fusion fails.
