The Columbia South Carolina Register argues dignity requires refraining from antagonism and supporting unity, noting that home rule grows from steady restraint rather than fiery opposition.

Willing To Trust The Democratic Party
A long New York Sun column reports William B. Fitch of Kingston and New York as a major blue stone merchant who has assigned his business to Charles M. Preston due to heavy liabilities to banks. Fitch, once wealthy and influential, remains physically frail after a head injury in October but continues to oversee large real estate, quarries, and a manufacturing yard. The piece covers Fitch’s debts, the bank note judgments, and the political note of Cleveland’s victory, concluding with reflections on Democratic confidence and future policy.
