Rumor of Gray for presidency flares in Indiana politics
Indianapolis reports widespread chatter that ex Gov Gray may seek the presidency, buoyed by the belief he can carry Indiana and avoid factional opposition in New York. A census estimate puts Indianapolis population near 107,000, but officials say it is at least 125,000. Other notes cover a notable cave discovery near Staunton with petrified remains and artifacts, a Martinsville farmer's suicide by hanging after setting a schoolhouse fire, and various local incidents, industry updates, and curiosities across Indiana towns.

Washington Blaine Attacks Reed on Bulldozing Career
In Washington July 14, Blaine reportedly pens a critique of Reed and his methods in the North American Review. The piece, signed X.M.C., argues Blaine views Reed’s tactics as threats to free government and supports beating him at the polls. It notes Wyoming and Idaho statehood adding four Republican senators, discusses gerrymandering hopes, and warns of returning-board election plans.
