Vermont Senator Seeks Election Law Reform
Senator Edmunds of Vermont has introduced amendments to presidential election laws and a clearer method for counting votes for president and vice president. The note hints at a potential State Treasurer candidate and references Calhoun county history. A bill to halt further financial contraction is discussed as the Senate nears adjourning. President Hayes is expected to sign the bill, though he would have vetoed a repeal of the resumption measures.

It highlights sewing machines, boots and shoes, and farm machines as proof, noting increases in tailors and factory workers and overall wealth.
