Political satire and graft notes in a late 19th century column
The column mocks Republican predictions about Lincoln’s election and names ex leaders as false prophets. It reports on state printing bids from Madison, comments on a Democrat congressional nomination and party splits, and notes a London land scheme for Illinois settlement. A Tennessee rail platform anecdote closes the piece with local humor.
