Various Views on Labor Strikes and State Finances in 1870s America
The piece surveys labor and political topics: Faaners Murphy advising strikers to target whiskey and bad company, Nebraska farmers organizing for influence in the next legislature, debates over per diem pay in Michigan’s session, and calls to fund depositors of the Freedman’s Bank. It also notes regional crop yields, liquor law enforcement efforts by Massachusetts’ law league, Georgia bond issues and repudiation, and a tour of Michigan state institutions reflecting local spending. It weaves these themes with commentary on public policy, finance, and social reform.
Offensive partisan term gains clarity in electoral critique
The piece argues that "offensive partisan" clearly contrasts with republican officials and depicts voting Republican as aligning with Democratic spoils politics. It frames the slogan "To the victors belong the spoils" as indicative of Andrew Jackson era doctrine influencing current party behavior.

Lansing session grants clerks pay and laws
The Michigan legislature near session end approved $2 daily extra wages for some clerks and $500 to the senate secretary for a journal index plus $60 to the house clerk for its journal index. An index to all general laws was ordered printed but later tabled. The omnibus appropriation bill drew sharp debate as totals for 1885 and 1886 were revealed. The governor signed multiple measures including law changes on taxation, delays, and public offices. The state pioneer society held a large meeting in Lansing with prominent attendees and elected officers. The Holiness camp meeting concluded successfully despite venue issues, and editorials comment on politics and agriculture in several states.
