Political tidbits and figures mingle in varied notes
A New Hampshire voter faced embarrassment after selling his vote for fifteen dollars to a Democrat and receiving Confederate currency. John Morrissey is discussed as a potential New York Police Commissioner candidate but faces a tougher fight to control the Democratic party and his gambling interests. Samuel Johnson is quoted praising newspapers for instruction and amusement, while Ben Butler is told he has more to learn. Mrs Sherman and her two daughters are said to be devout Catholics. Jay Gould reportedly controls 167,000 of Union Pacific's 300,000 shares and seeks a four percent dividend. The Sumner successor race narrows to Dawes, E R Hoar, and Adams.
