Brattleboro, VT: The Journal Company, 1881. 40 x 58 cm. The sacredness of the Sabbath is not always observed by politicians. Last Saturday Senators Conkling and Platt, Governor Cornell, Vice President Arthur and Postmaster-General James did not get through comparing notes until Sunday. Four years ago Conkling engaged in a power struggle with President Hayes. ""The Hero of Gettysburg"" was not General Hancock, recently defeated in the national election by Garfield, but General Meade. There are at least a dozen Senators who may be called millionaires, led by Sen. Fair of Nevada, probably worth as much as all the others put together. Next is Davis of Illinois who has gathered millions, as well as 375 pounds avoirdupois. Sawyer of Wisconsin, who was a poor Vermont boy, is next. The Story Teller: ""Poor Miss Brackenthorpe"" --what was revealed after she died. Illustrated ads for Perry Davis' Pain Killer, The ""Only"" Lung Pad, Madame Griswold's Skirt-supporting Corsets. Newspapers, numerous tiny tears in creases, paper unopened, fair. . Catalogs: Newspapers/History.
