The piece covers Cur ry & Dutton's jar sale, post office letters, a Graysville parade, and heated Merom political events with Hancock, Sanders, Garfield, and Porter, detailing a pole raising and torchlit procession amid clashes and strong reactions from both parties.
The Mercm and Vicinity Republicans plan a Thursday rally with speakers Hon E Callahan Til, T P Keator Wabash, and T C Smith. A pole raising precedes a picnic dinner, then speeches, followed by a torch light procession and fireworks. Robert G Evans of Vincennes praised for energetic, nonabusive, fact focused address at the court house.
The column lauds Mr. Gunn as one of the best and most effective speakers noting his address stood strong against criticism. It credits his forceful arguments and backing records with clinched points and urges him to stay in the field.
Garfield Guards meet at headquarters Thursday at 3 PM for a torchlight parade in Merom at night. The company departs Merom at 4 PM promptly. All members must be on time. Geo. T. Briggs, Captain.
