Washington World postmark humor and political jibe
A Washington DC Department of Agriculture envelope bearing a 3 cent postage warning contained a copy of the Washington World with a portrait of William Le Due. The paper mocked Le Duc’s influence while noting no official government connection. A New York Sherman club formed to back Secretary of the Treasury’s presidential bid, despite a third-term debate. A fatal collapse at Lake Bigier buried eighteen men.
