Know Nothing Charges and the Burial of Democratic Issues

A political column criticizes Democratic editors and German papers supporting the Liberal ticket for attacking Henry Wilson as a Know Nothing past and for reviving old dead issues.

Romantic Story of a Galena Man

New York special reports David Davis a scavenger, driven insane at Bellevue Hospital after a fall from fortune. Born 1832 in Galena to wealthy parents he studied engineering and befriended Ulysses Grant. War losses, capture, and poverty followed, leading to poison and madness. The piece blends his fate with a zoological meditation on army ants and a philosophical question about memory and collective action.

Republican Party Platform Emphasizes Unity and Civil Rights

The 1872 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia endorses eleven-year supremacy, highlights emancipation and loyalty, and urges equal rights, constitutional amendments, civil service reform, limited federal lands, tariff and tax policies, pension support for soldiers, and stronger immigration protection, while opposing repudiation and pledging national unity. It calls for protecting commerce, shipbuilding, and American industry.
