The article cites fund totals for New York and Boston subscriptions to the Michigan Relief Fund, notes Mint director Burchard’s figures for US precious metal production, and describes Wolfe's meeting in Warren with Republican reform sentiments.

The opinion has taken hold with some Republicans distant from Corry, causing them to feel aggrieved and thereby refuse to labor for the ticket's success.
