Fragmentary text from a Local item mentions an event at Scrætom on June 29 with unclear details about participants or actions. Names and specifics are unreadable, but the date and location appear. The rest of the line is too garbled to extract precise facts.
Mr. Cleveland, upon studying the Maine returns, is understood to be convinced that a condition rather than a platitude now confronts him.
In a sharp political broadside, the author brands Judge Merrifield and Ar Amerman as Protection Democrats and accuses the Democratic leadership of deception. The piece cites tariff policy, Wilson’s aide, and the cost of tariff tinkering, arguing Merrifield’s loyalty is a sham and urging an end to the political charade. It also notes Rice the cowboy evangelist’s indictment for disorderly conduct, calling for accountability.
A passage cites a fable where workers quarrel with the belly urging the belly to starve. Alsop’s reference frames the Democratic party’s tax and epithets against employers as echoing the old tale of mutual dependency and eventual decline if the belly is starved. The piece argues unity is essential.
The piece argues for cooperation among industry groups to sustain the nation's economy, praising the editor Robathan and criticizing Depenfe and local council biases. It emphasizes fair fire department support, including pensions, nourishment at fires, and municipal funding. It notes rising wages with economic improvement and cites August export statistics. It mentions anti cigarette league formation as a response to broader public health concerns.
The Kentucky primary results condemn Breckinridge and honor reform and the women who opposed him. The piece lauds women for defending social decency and purity, calling the outcome a milestone in American liberty and a rebuke to corrupt politics.
The letter lashes Breckinridge as an impudent leper and mocks attempts to “screw down wages” for political effect in November. It questions whether wage restraint would alter an inevitable outcome, accusing the writer of socialist rhetoric rather than philosophical view.
The Republican county group completed its formation with E. H. Ripple as chairman and W. S. Millar as secretary plus ex Postmaster D. M. Jones as treasurer. They honor retiring chair D. W. Powell and colleagues J. W. Drowning and the late John Charles Miller while outlining a vigorous statewide campaign led by General Hastings and other party leaders.
A political column mocks a Republican contender Billy Hines and his claim of loyalty in Washington. It notes ex-Collector Cooper’s calculation that Delaware county must give Hastings a 6,200 plurality to carry Judge Claytomu, while Grew receives 4,637 votes.
A Pittsburgh-era account criticizes the Cleveland administration for issuing fifty-cent silver dollars. It claims the government saved $25 million by trimming pension rolls and minted 1,100,000 silver fifty-cent pieces in July and August using seigniorage profits to fund ordinary expenses. The piece accuses Carlisle and supporters of engufed economy and questions authority under an amended act of 184.
A historical statement by Grover Cleveland questions how to face the public after endorsing or tolerating discriminatory actions and violations of core principles.
The Sun congratulates the people of the Lexington congress district for putting away the unclean thing yesterday, signaling a moral stance in the community.
