The Abilene Reflector notes editors LITT STROTHER and LITTS discuss a controversial claim that Virginia tobacco causes Republicans to spit more than twice as much as other tobaccos after a late election. The piece cites Mahone’s political death as context for the debate.
A New York lady visited the White House on Monday and told the President she would return in six months to meet Mrs Cleveland. In Ohio, Hamilton County Courts ruled that Republican State Senate candidates are entitled to their seats. The Legislature’s joint majority is three, and the conclusion hinges on Supreme Court approval.
The state faces choosing a Democratic senator to replace Mahone with Daniels or Barbour as likely nominees. Daniels shines as a brilliant orator with strong state support, while Barbour brings political shrewdness and party management skill. A compromise may yield General Fitz Hugh Lee as the governor-elect and potential third option.
Georgia sees Prohibitionists capture Atlanta, a major surprise in a county by county push across the state. The victory amid one of the bitterest local contests signals growing strength for the movement and unsettles Republican leaders. Meanwhile a World correspondent notes James G. Blaine refused to comment on Hendricks death, hinting he may see himself as a future historian.
A local advertisement lists woolens flannels blankets yarns and both ladies and mens underwear. The notice highlights fabric types and apparel available from the shop for buyers seeking warm textiles and basic garments.
