Hendricks viewed strongest Democrat for 1880 election
The Miami Democrat cites the Indiana lawyer Hon Thomas A Hendricks as the strongest man in the country among common people and a likely Democratic candidate for President in 1880, ready to defeat the best Republican patriot. The column also notes Chicago ads seeking steady help for pantaloons and a Boston sermon on dancing etiquette. Grand Rapids ships 13 ear-loads apples to Liverpool in one day, signaling growing ties with Britain. Garfield planned an honest money speech in Chicago in January, with a question about an honest election speech.
