Indiana's Week at a Glance in 19th Century Politics
Indiana's Democratic gains in the senate special election in the Decatur Shelby district are examined with criticism of Republican bribery and hypocrisy. The report covers campaigning by Ex-Gov Gray, Ewing's win by 179, the ongoing Dudley era scandals, school book lobbying, potential quorum breaks, and a push for liquor and tobacco education. Local notes include mining finds, ghost reports, legal actions, deaths, and a wide survey of county happenings across the state.
