Radical rads warn Democrats over National Republican vacancies
A political column argues filling vacancies on the National Republican committee is impossible without federal appointments, warning Radical rads that resignations of federal holders will cripple future conventions. The piece notes many committee members seek federal posts and invites disruption to party coordination. Local market notices list poultry, butter, eggs, potatoes, beans, vinegar, limes, salt, and wood prices.
