Harmonious Acceptance Plans for Tilden Hendricks

Sanatoga July 31 reports say Governor Hendricks yielded to Tilden on finance and convinced him he is a hard money man aligned with the St Louis Platform. A harmony letter of acceptance is outlined, promising resumption under economic reform and fiscal economy. The campaign expects reform to end frauds and support one term for the presidency.

Soldiers plead for promotion after Custer massacre

General Sheridan received a letter signed by 230 non commissioned officers and privates of the Seventh Cavalry who survived the Custer massacre. They urge promotions for Major Keno and Captain Benteen among others to reward saving the regiment, arguing such moves would be deserved though against strict rule. They warn Reno and Benteen’s positions could have doomed the survivors without water or escape. The note notes promotions typically come from senior officers of the branch, not the regiment. The other item reports on Dr. Silas Reed's Wyoming land survey probe, accusing him of gaining office and profits through surveying contracts without work and calling for accountability and resignation.

Debate and amendments centered on duration, compensation, and financing including potential State aid, with support for a six week trial or twelve week term but final action set at twelve weeks without compensation.
