Strikes and political chatter stain Texas and Galveston
The Knights of Labor strike at Galveston keeps the city paralyzed as Mallory Steamship Company refuses to yield, with a conference planned today. Sheriff Stevens dies from wounds endured in the line of duty. The Texas political scene shows party feuds, appointments, and a new Independent party potential. Reports discuss liquor taxes in 1883 Galveston and other cities, and Washington officials' stance on patronage. A quip about Miller and a tale of a petitioner's demand for aid from President Cleveland circulate. A letter lauds Brown's Iron Bitters for rheumatism relief from Mary E. Garry of Batavia, N Y.
