Vermont and Maine Elections Show Greeley Slide

The Vermont election on September 3 remains key to gauging Greenback-Liberal strength. Republicans likely hold governorship with Julius Converse. Democrats back A B Gardner. Maine’s contest is closer, with Liberal-Democrats aiming to win Districts. Across both states, a shrinking Greeley base signals a slow decline into November. The Chicago Tribune and New York Herald note nationwide weakening of Greeley support, not a coordinated Republican push, as Liberal-Democrat efforts falter.

Brack Dodges Truth in Illinois Lieutenant Governor Bid

In a Peoria Transcript report, Dolly Varden candidate Mr Jony Chantes Brack for lieutenant governor of Illinois is accused of distortions. He allegedly cited a forged 1869 grant letter to General Butterfield and claimed a misdated 1866 document. He also repeated a Farnsworth slander about Grant misreading a message, though no such message exists. The piece labels him discreditable, whether intentional or ignorant, for a high stakes race.

Senator Schurz Faces Speech Sale Allegation

ET the Editor notes a Missouri Democrat claim that Senator Schurz sold campaign speeches for cash. The piece recalls a 1868 Illinois episode where Schurz demanded $500 after an earlier offer to pay, suggesting he would sell speeches at his price. The column argues he should deny the charge if it is true.
