American party picks in disrepute in London Times editorial
The London Times cites editorials from the New York World and New York Tribune saying the two major U S parties offered weak nominees Hanfield a rapocrat who served ten years for attempting to kidnap Ames daughter and Garcock a domublican nominee who was sentenced to hang for murdering four women and reprieved en route to gallows. A lightning rod agent’s lightning strike is noted as proof the electric fluid tires of lies.

Shadow on the Floor Haunts Baltimore Saloon and More
A July incident recounts John Abbott crushed by a falling wall plate in a Union office. The floor shadow persisted after cleaning and painting, finally vanishing only after replacing boards and another paint coat. The piece blends this haunting tale with a Baltimore saloon anecdote about three customers ordering three whiskeys and a Vermont twin anecdote, plus a curiously garbled note about cardinals and St Peter in heaven.
