Democratic Victory In New Hampshire Questioned
The Republican defeat in New Hampshire is not decisive. Weston trails by three to five hundred votes, likely forcing a legislative choice for governor. A temperance candidate drew over a thousand votes, potentially altering the result. The New York Tribune says the shift is not a strong rebuke to the administration, more a cautious reminder than a rebuff.

The St Louis Globe argues that men and women belong together for a healthy society and criticizes male only clubs and beer saloons.

Calumet Dam Bill Advances in Senate Action
The Illinois Senate continued work on multiple measures and moved the Calumet dam bill to a third reading, with $6,000 allotted to compensate the mill once removed. A report on Soldiers' Orphans’ Homes endorsed ongoing policies for keeping care under state trustees, while warehousing reform for Chicago grain failed to gain support. Temperance meetings in Springfield drew large crowds, speakers urged sobriety, and a pledge against drinking gained traction among participants.
