Logan and the War Opposition in Democratic Rhetoric

The St Louis Republican revisits a longstanding Democratic column claim that Gen John A Logan opposed the war in early 1861 while Senator Douglas spoke in Springfield. The piece notes Logan later raised a Union regiment, arguing the attacks reveal which side valued country over party and praising Logan’s later defense of the Union.

Doolittle and Stanley in Civil Service Reform Debate

The piece questions ex Senator Doolittle’s civil service reform credentials amid alleged wartime profit schemes and letters of his own, then moves to Stanley’s Africa letters and Livingstone, suggesting intellectual decline. It ends by mocking Greeley and contrasting Democratic attitudes to Judge Parks’s alleged intoxication with Republican standards.

Know Nothing Charge Turmoil In 1854 Boston Debate

The Boston Pilot discusses Senator Henry Wilson and accusations of Know Nothingism. It cites a Tremont Temple convention in October 1854 with 1500 delegates where Wilson received 66 votes on the first ballot, notes his subsequent declination of nomination, critiques Democratic and Greeley remarks, praises Republican moves in Sangamon County with Hay and Cullom, and mentions local editorials, correspondence from Nebraska, and Ku Klux alignment in recent liberal factions.

Grain Corner Collapse Shakes Chicago Board of Trade

The Chicago Board of Trade endured a dramatic collapse as wheat corner men failed to meet margins, triggering a market crash. Major houses like J. B. Lyon & Co and Muggers & Peabody were ruined as prices plunged from 1.56 45 to 1.10 per bushel within 24 hours, with Iowa promising 200000 bushels daily to Chicago but unable to sustain the corner.

Republican Party Platform During National Convention

The Republican Party recalls its history and showcases policy stances from June Philadelphia convention. It praises Grant era reforms, pledges civil equality, national unity, and economic stability, and outlines positions on currency, taxes, immigration, civil service reform, and defense of veterans. It endorses amnesty for rebels, anti repudiation, and a strong stance on industry and commerce.

Political Rhetoric From Civil War Era Sparks Debate

Fragmentary excerpts quote Horace Greeley and others attacking the Democratic Party and calling for Loyalist registration, with calls to remove disloyal elements from Missouri and to deny franchise to those aligned with rebellion. The text reflects wartime political tension and redrawn loyalties.
