General Goff to Run for Congress in First District
General Goff consents to run as Republican candidate for Congress in the First district and is expected to win. The piece notes rival candidates John J. Hetzel, a youthful Republican elector hopeful, and Reynolds, a nominee with Democratic roots who now leans Republican. It references figures Henry G. Davis and James Ferguson on regulation, and mentions a tree-top lodging Washington pension office clerk as a campaign source. It discusses Kentucky light breaking for Republicans, Beecher’s stance, and a critique of the Democratic party's economy and reform pledges. The report also highlights the Republican platform, Reynolds speech, Scofield’s appointment as secretary of the State Executive Committee, and Tilden’s $50,000 contribution to the Democratic cause, warning against Wheeling Register coverage.
