Davis, Davis and the Colorado Triumph
A jumble of 19th century notes reports Davis in De Soto, a death in Saratoga, and a rising no-popery mood in Ohio. It recounts a Warrenton death near a depot, an arrest of Wm. Foster for a supposed murder, and California lawmakers all being Democrats. It mentions a personal clash between Maj. riwarde and Col. Foster, and a Missouri Illinois competition for a two year old boy and girl. It notes Mexico honoring Jefferson Davis, a peace mission crowd at a depot, and Winnebago and Minols Ku Klusz tensions. It describes an agricultural meeting riot in Clinton Mississippi with whites and blacks killed, and federal intervention debated. The piece ends with the Adams’ “bloody shirt” theme and political unrest.

Davis and prison deaths debate over Civil War ethics
The author defends Mr. Davis and questions Northern cruelty in Civil War prison camps. Cites 1868 secretary of war counts showing higher Confederate prisoner deaths in the North than Union deaths in the South, argues food and resources skewed outcomes, notes Grant opposed prisoner exchanges, and asserts North's retaliation caused suffering. Mississippi Democratic leader J H George comments on Clinton riot and U S troop use.

California Vote Signals Fall of Republican Ring
The California election marks a crushing defeat for the Republican party as candidates for governor and Congress fall. The Ring led by Sargent and Gorham, backed by the Pacific railroad and California bank, has collapsed under administration hostility and public demand for reform. The victory is seen as a nationwide push against corruption, with Ohio and others watching closely for broad anti Republican sentiment and calls for government reform.
