A large Anderson political gathering features Gov Hampton praising equal rights and amnesty except for rogues. A Tilden income tax suit progresses as questions of liability move toward the Supreme Court and Union Pacific debates reward claims with Sheriff Bradsley pursuing payoff shares.

Sherman Talks on Army Bill and Personal Feuds
A Washington Post letter from General Sherman defends the army disbandment bill while criticizing Col. Don Pratt and General Banning. He alleges he never met Pratt, disputes a quoted insult, and argues for broad salary cuts rather than targeting the military alone. He warns a 20,000 enlisted-men level could push the president to cede territory to Indians and urges fiscal restraint across civil and military pay.
