Campaign notes blur old Indian policy and Grant ties
The Springfield Republican promotes a 1888 campaign song for Republicans while a Kansas border dispute is discussed. A speaker urges state action to remove cattle from Indian lands, prioritizing public peace over private interests. The Ohio Prohibitionists back ex Gov St John amid past charges. The column covers institute lectures, teaching methods, alcohol effects, and a long roll of attendees and speakers at Abilene events. It closes with reflections on Gen. Grant, his life, and friendships.
