The piece criticizes Senators Curtiss and Pier for not approving Tenney and questions the governor’s power to reappoint after a failed Senate confirmation.

Fragmentary OCR records from a Hebron area page mention a clothier named Fagat F Wri and individuals including a widow protecting her husband, a Bishop, and a few local surnames.
