The piece argues the Republican Senate lacks a true leader beyond Edmunds, contrasting him with Conkling. It notes Edmunds failed to unite the majority, cites his vote patterns on Judge Merrick, and asserts the need for a fearless, genius leader like Conkling to guide the party.
The Knights of Labor announce the strike is ended effective May 4 after a May 1–3 inquiry by a Congressional committee. The joint executive board resolved to grant the committee’s request and end the strike to ease the impact on business.

He argues labor must avoid demagogic use and political office, preserving the union's integrity and mission.
