<strong>CLEVELAND</strong> NEWSPAPER DIGEST JAN. 1 TO DEC. 31, 1838<br />

Abstracts 1891 - 1896<br />

POLITICS & GOVERNMENT - United States (Cont'd)<br />

"A pretty specimen of decency truly. This is the manner in which<br />

the administration, through its mouth piece, assails every man who<br />

dares to expose their frauds. We are mistaken if such slang will injure<br />

Mr. Bond with his constituents." (2)<br />

1891 - H&G july 28; ed:2/3 - It is announced that the President will<br />

leave Washington shortly for Norfolk and make the tour of Virginia,<br />

visiting the springs.<br />

"Mr. Van Buren seems shy of the North." (1)<br />

H&G july 30; ed:2/2 - See Post Office<br />

1892 - H&G july 30; ed:2/3 • "The abuse and epithets heaped upon Mr.<br />

Bond by the Loco Focos, for his masterly exhibition of the corruption<br />

and extravagance of the Administration, will only elevate him in the<br />

estimation of his constituents.... A public dinner has been tendered<br />

him at Chillicothe on the 11th of August, and another at Portsmouth on<br />

the 7th, both of which invitations he has accepted." (2)<br />

H&G july 30; ed:2/3,4 • See Shipping & Ships<br />

1893 - H&G Aug. 2; ed:2/2 - The "Loco-Focos" now abuse Gov. Ritner for<br />

not compelling Biddle to resume sooner.<br />

"When will Martin compel Woodbury to resume? He has some $10,000,000<br />

in circulation, payable in twelve months from date. Nick will resume<br />

some eleven months first, unless the Locos show their teeth at Levi.<br />

'At him, Towser! '" (1)<br />

H&G Aug. 3; ed:2/3 - See Shipping & Ships<br />

1894 - II&G Aug. 3; ed: 2/3 - The FREE PRESS says: More rats are gnawing<br />

into the Treasury.<br />

"Well let them gnaw in. A mouse, as every chemist knows, dies in an<br />

exhausted receiver." (1)<br />

1895 - H&G Aug. 4; ed:2/3 • "What will the Loco Focos say? The news<br />

from Philadelphia is that Nick Biddle has brought up Levi Woodbury, and<br />

that the 'dead Monster' is to be a fiscal agent of the bank-hating Government!<br />

What will Mrs. Grundy say?" (1)<br />

1896 - H&G Aug. 13; ed:2/3 - "A sign." Mr. Ritchie is down on his marrow<br />

bones, and begins to show proper repentence for his opposition to the<br />

Sub-Treasury scheme. Mr. Van Buren has recently been in Richmond, and<br />

the GLOBE of Saturday (Aug. 4) is in ecstasies at the prospect of taking<br />

the ENQUIRER into full Loco-Foco communion. "What is Richie's price?"<br />
