New York Democratic Stand by Chicago Platform Urged
The letter from March 1898 shows Richard Croker pressing for New York Democrats to back the Chicago platform on bimetallism. It argues that opposing the platform weakens the party and risks national unity. The piece also outlines the peace treaty terms with Spain and critiques Idaho’s anti gambling bill as ineffective.

Idaho House to debate anti saloon bills next week
Idaho legislators face preliminary fights over three anti saloon proposals. Kingsley of Ada introduces two measures closing saloons on Sundays and restricting hours while Madden of Canyon backs a constitutional amendment to ban liquor manufacture or sale. Prohibition activists from Phinaie push the bill, while critics call the current legislature a disgrace and warn of further restrictions like tobacco and tea prohibitions.
