Fragmentary entry from the Troy Herald dated September 1874 lists B. Fismer as maivers. Readable details are sparse, with limited context on the notice’s purpose or the involved parties.
A Missouri election notice urges readers to register by the looming deadline of October 12 to vote in November. It condemns voter apathy, stresses civic duty, and warns that missing the deadline bars participation for two years, while highlighting comments by Col Dyer and a forthcoming letter from ex Gov Gratz Brown supporting the Democratic platform.
Those who claim Reform should compare the Democratic state ticket with the third party, arguing that Broadhead’s letter is false and used to bolster the Independent Democrats. Ex Confederates will记mark them for backing the libel and legitimizing the attack.
Col Broadhead charges the Democratic party with ingratitude toward Liberal Republicans for not recognizing their claims except those aligned with Democratic principles and opposing centralization. He recalls the 1870 election deal to avoid a ticket and support the Liberal state ticket, while noting the 1872 Democratic convention split.
A harsh critique argues Maj Gentry profited from freed slaves by selling women and children for cash. The piece claims Republicans pretend care for Black people only when numerically advantageous and deny true equality, while Democrats are portrayed as kinder but still wary of social parity. It asserts Republicans absorb Black votes but oppose Black officeholders in the North, and that Democrats offer wages and employment without promoting social equality.
The piece critiques reporters for misquoting Charles Schur and questions the fitness of Gentry as a reform candidate. It mocks several political figures including Major Gentry and Headlee, notes past roles in banks and railroads, and comments on age of Mrs. Stonewall Jackson while detailing county election irregularities and distrust of officials.
The St Louis Globe prints a colored voter statement discrediting Major Gentry over the slavery question and announcing a meeting to publicly denounce him. The letter condemns Gentry as cruel and unworthy while noting a donation of thirty thousand dollars for a Mexican female college and contrasting Hardin's attitude. The Globe signals opposition to the Gentry ticket.
The letter by Mr. Hutchins to Col. Broadhead appears on page two. Prominent remarks accuse Maj. Gentry of selling enslaved wives and children in 1868 while men fought for freedom. In Vicksburg a union and confederate veterans group forms the Blues and Grays, signaling cross faction ties amid political tension. General Forrest proposes organizing white Southern vigilance against perceived oppression, fueling fears of a revived rebellion.
A Sedalia Demucrut letter endorses Mr N KK Chapman Windsor Henry county ex Confederate, praising his wartime escape after being sentenced to die. The piece claims Chapman knows the would be Lieutenant Governor and urges vigorous opposition to the paper ballot in politics.
The First Congressional District convention at Tallahassee on August 1 praised Ulysses S. Grant for his presidency and urged renomination for a third term. The Florida Republicans lauded his leadership, civil service reform, economic balance, and national unity, claiming he protected citizens and upheld order. They contrasted Southern Republicans like Kellogg and Longstreet of Louisiana with Northern peers, noting stronger support for Grant.
The Bassical funeral drew John Bender Je Chander Henry T Blow Thow C Fletcher Chauncy I Filley John A dJoyce T A Post John L Bittinger O B Wilkinson BR T Van Horn Pat Dyer Milo Blair and others to the city on Wednesday.

A New York News column argues that a Democratic Congress would reshape the South, remove Republican leaders in states like Louisiana and Mississippi, and end racial oppression.

The piece notes Mennonite settlement in Kansas and Missouri’s improving law and immigration as counterpoints to Reconstruction excesses.
