Cameron for Sumner in Senate Foreign Relations clash
The Cincinnati Gazette lodges a sharp critique of replacing Sumner with Cameron as head of the Foreign Relations Committee. It hopes the Senate Republicans find a stronger method than a person swap, warning the public will focus on character rather than explanations.

Why Grant is Hostile to Sumner
A Chicago Times view explains Grant’s rancor toward Sumner over intoxication incidents in Sumner’s drawing rooms. It says Grant’s anger grew from disparaging remarks, with Sumner calling out his vices, and alleges they have now ceased official contact though no barrier to official dealings exists. The piece includes an aside from Boonville Enquirer criticizing a legislative fee clause.
