German Reunion Reform Association Platform Adopted
At Arbeiter Hall a German Reunion Reform Association meeting adopted a platform urging constitutional adherence, civil service reform, opposition to secret caucus systems, one term presidency, free trade, sound money, public credit, and nonpartisan local elections while stressing unity among states and civil duties. A Louisville court ruled police salaries cannot be attached for debt against the Mayor, prioritizing public duty over creditor claims, and a wedding celebration led to a member’s spouse suffering spasms and insanity after a floor incident.
