Elections Electrify New State as Republicans Sweep West
Colorado held its first election since statehood and shifted Republican by a strong margin. The entire state ticket and a Congressman were elected, with major gains across the Legislature. Connecticut towns report Republican gains, Norwich notes a 266 vote swing, while Hartford and other towns show similar results. Analysts say towns, Democratic strongholds, could not reverse Hayes Wheeles support. Ohio and Indiana vote next Tuesday with expected contests. Georgia yesterday backed its usual Democratic majority for state officers.

The Currency Question Debate by J M King Esq
The piece examines J M King’s arguments on currency, arguing his stance that gold and silver are not intrinsically valuable and that legal tender debases value. It critiques King’s theory, contrasts it with the fundamentals of labor value, and questions the legitimacy of government issued currency. It also highlights a letter from Rev. Mr Flower and an anecdote about Samuel J. Tilden and Civil Service appointments.
