Senate debates over ballot protection and federal influence
The Senate continued its discussion of ballot security as Mr. Voorhees argues the ballot tax was wrested from local officers and handed to corrupt federal officials. He warns of tyranny and urges protection of self government, citing past frauds and urging a fair supervision to safeguard elections. Other speakers defend states’ rights and the integrity of the ballot, while lawmakers debate constitutional authority and the role of federal power in elections.

The Chinese and U S Anti-Chinese Bill Debate
A late Hong Kong letter notes broad Native attention to Congress passing and President Hayes vetoing an anti-Chinese bill. Hong Kong and Shanghai papers attack the measure but warn of China reacting, while exaggerating American labor withdrawal impacts. An Ohio man dies after neck fracture in a colt breaking attempt. The safest colt breaking is by hiring creditors.
