Political currents and figures in 1878 Indiana and beyond
The piece surveys party dynamics and electoral math in Indiana with Democrats potentially holding 158 seats and a 23 seat edge, while noting cross party responses to a nonpartisan state project. It then pivots to New York and national matters, including Morrissey’s death, the French Exposition, the Gilbert Elevated Railroad, Fremont’s finances, Bennett’s polar expedition, and Garibaldi’s directives for Italy.
Democratic Party Confession Demands for Indiana Voters
The Democratic State committee should present confessions about the great Republican conspiracy against U S freedom to every Indiana voter. Postmaster General Key may be taxed to fund the Radical campaign this year. If Key remains a Democrat and honest, he will remove the first assessor who insults him. The Radical party claims reform from within though the disease seems beyond recovery. Speculation on the 1st district race ranges 2500 to 3500 Democratic majority, with Republican papers avoiding Florida expose. Senator Kellogg hints uncorking later as Packard faces confirmation challenges.
