What Little Rhody Did
The Rhode Island piece notes a whispered name and a broken boom as the state shifts to protectionist sentiment. It claims no echo of a former political voice, a party idol fallen, and a final blow to free trade while Rhode Island endorses protectionism and turns Cleveland’s picture away.

Hill's Stubbornness Dampens Democratic Confidence
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat reports that West backs Cleveland as inevitable for the Chicago nomination. Hill remains a non-factor and no western rival has strength. New York's pivotal role looms, with many Democrats fearing Cleveland weak in the state yet assured for the ballot. The convention may nominate Cleveland without New York, but victory hinges on that state's electoral votes.

A survey of European royalty and notable figures notes the evar crown's value versus Queen Victoria's, genealogical link between Mme Carnot and the count of Paris, Nervi Italy chosen for ex-chancellor Nervi's winter residence, and royal travel titles like earl and countess of Chester.
