The article reviews the national Republican convention plan in Cincinnati on the 14th, belatedly notes Belknap's Iowa senate bid failing, and discusses Dunham era debates. It covers Blaine's bid to close debate, his Jefferson Davis comments, and remarks on constitutional liberty and patriotism amid Democratic response.
Fragmented text describes a Senate election dispute over Eustis and Onoda with Lieutenant Governor Antoine involved. It notes 198 appointments by a doorkeeper, 24 Union soldiers among them, and a failed joint session as Democratic and some Republicans maneuver for or against a vacancy. Pinch back is referenced regarding claims and Senate resistance.
Gen Banks of Massachusetts urged congress for full universal amnesty in a centennial observance, praising fraternity between North and South and calling to erase monuments of civil strife. Tarbos echoed the plea, recalling Ducker Mill’s anniversary and the idea of lasting amity across nations.
The Washington correspondent of The St Louis Republican argues Ben Hill’s reply to Blaine’s attack harms Democrats while praising Gen Dill’s speech as complete and unimpassioned. The piece questions charges against the South and defends Wirz, Jefferson Davis, and wartime actions amid court martial accusations.
A lengthy siyasi column argues about Civil War prisoner treatment, questioning claims of Confederate mistreatment versus Union conditions. It critiques Blaine, defends the South’s stance, and notes renewed charges against Belknap, including alleged favoritism and corruption linked to appointments, contracts, and expenses.
A partisan overview discusses the 1876 Republican nominating battle, arguing Grant as the sole figure capable of uniting business backing and party machinery. It surveys Bristow as a reform candidate with limited grassroots strength, contrasts Morton Conkling Blaine Hayes and Hartrang, and notes postmaster influence and fund-raising as decisive factors in securing the nomination. The author signals a forthcoming look at the Democratic side.
The Democratic convention of New Hampshire gathered in Concord and nominated Dani Marcy for governor. The platform backs the war settlement, favoring specie payments, reform, retrenchment, and religious toleration, while condemning sectarian control and political manipulation. It criticizes the current chief executive for alleged abuses and corruption, calling for adherence to Democratic principles and institutions.
The text reads as fragmented OCR with unclear names and details. It mentions a president, Bristow, a storm, and an act deemed an outrage on a union, but lacks coherent events or dates. Readable entities include Boston and Iowa, with references to a ship’s requirements and possible removal tomorrow.
