Chicago fog and Blaine news from 1887 era
Chicago was visited by a regular English fog last Saturday. The gas was kept burning all day in stores and factories. James G. Blaine was in Paris when he heard that the Democrats had carried New York. A correspondent of the New York Star suggests every state and major city donate a inscribed block for a Grant monument. The piece covers memory feats, school notices, local meetings, and court actions in Dickinson County Kansas with multiple names and dates such as 1887 and Dec. 28 1887.
