The Silver State reports a plan to build a rail road from Mound House Lyon County to Bodie California next summer with a large Chinese labor force. Nevada papers oppose the use of Chinese workers citing 1879 laws against involuntary servitude and public works bans, while supporters argue for the project and potential political maneuvering by Sharon.

Bayard Off for Presidential Race Amid GOP Shift
Senator Thomas F. Bayard of Delaware is increasingly out of contention for the Democratic nomination as critics doubt his pacification of Congress and opposition to Grantism. Reports note combative views on government notes and past Confederate-era positions, while a South Carolina Bayard club faces uncertain support as the party coalesces around Grant. In other news, Hong Kong court figures reveal slave issues, San Francisco unrest grows, and Rev. A W Paige pleads guilty to obscene mailings in Connecticut.
