Political ticket list and early war on monopolies
The item lists presidential electors for various districts, congressional representative Joseph Lyman, judicial and county offices, and a state political note. It reports cholera and plague deaths in Europe, a man dying of heart disease after a sprint to a train, a Brooklyn Young Republican Club backing Blaine and Logan, and upcoming Iowa Baptist and national political notes. It also mentions a Supreme Court decision against an injunction on Farmers' Protective Association funds, Republican organizing in West Virginia, and rumored temporary Treasury tenure changes for Gresham and Hatton. Finally it notes the Soldiers' Home location at Leavenworth, Kansas, and an ending abrupt fragment.
