The piece lists Republican nominees for statewide and district offices from governor to coroner, with names and counties. It adds critical observations on Emmett Dowdell, Indian troubles near Minnesota, governor finances, newspaper stances, populist trusts, and Gen. Joe Wheeler testimony.
General Wheeler praises war conduct and administration while the Sioux Falls Press faces questions about the Dowell investigation. The piece notes Democratic platform splits on Bryanism, free silver, and the 1896 convention silence on finance as Mr. Bryan recruits support.
The discourse notes a shift of attack toward the Milwaukee railroad as populists cite Tom Ayer’s injunction. It observes Milwaukee using a Republican attorney while others hire Free Silver and Democratic figures, with cases against other roads dismissed or postponed as the railroad commission targets Milwaukee.
The piece accuses the Populist party of misstatements on ships and armor during wartime. It cites Senator Butler and the Brooklyn and New York as examples, claims information was sent to Spain, and notes Cervera’s fleet targeted Brooklyn. It traces the party’s failed schemes from 1890 to 1900, branding socialism as their through line and predicting 1900 will see no alternative issue.
The piece questions Gov. Lee’s refusal to publish the Dowdell report and examine accounts amid claims of a large unpaid sum. It links Dowdell’s travels for Lee’s re election to possible treasury money use, notes populist defections by Glass and Sutherland, and critiques Judge Palmer’s credibility and bids for attorney general, suggesting erosion of public trust.
The Letcher Chronicle notes the marriage of Elias T. Millard to Laura Daniels on Sunday October 2 1898 at Rev R B Smith officiating. The couple asked for privacy and readers are urged not to mention it. The notice ties local generosity to the public good and includes an advertisement for Dr King’s New Discovery with trial bottles offered free and a guarantee.
Mrs. Maggie N. Van Cott conducted two weeks of revival meetings at the Methodist church with strong attendance. Thirty-five members joined the church, six by baptism, as she inspired many to deeper religious life. She departs for Catskill, NY, then Philadelphia, with a vow to return next year if possible.
The Bucherganj district natives, deprived of firearms, improvise bamboo guns loaded with powder and slugs or use bamboo forks with pinned cobras as a weapon. A cobra used on an enemy at night is described as a sufficient attack.
