Political intrigue and city council tactics in Missouri
In Springfield weekly edition, the City Election is described with a plan by the Radical faction to gain control of the city council and possibly the mayoralty through a temperance ticket. The piece notes the composition of the current council, names members expiring and those over, and argues the radicals seek power via calculated alliances and public sentiment. It also discusses national politics, including Congress, Prussia France relations, and President Grant’s patronage, with criticism of Grant and remarks on recent political shifts and a hurricane impact in St Louis.
