Scandals, parties, and seance news dominate week
A Kentucky Congressman proposed a five member inquiry into alleged official obstruction in Washington. 138 Republicans opposed the committee led by Ben Butler, while Dawes Garfield Male and Scofield avoided votes in covert relief of Harrington Benton Co. The Mississippi Warren County proclamation and conservative dissenters defend order, and the Pittsburgh Commercial mocks Ledger democracy. A Maine seance reports Newbigin alive after four years, sparking debates on spiritualism and immigration. Rumors say Kelley, M D, may push a new party in a bleak GOP era.
