Sacramento,CA - January to June 1880 - Sacramento Daily Record Union :
The Sacramento Daily Record Union, bound volume January 1 to June 30, 1880, is missing the January 2, 1880 edition. All other editions are there. The first three or four pages of the bound volume are in fair condition, the top cover has separated from the spine, has corner wear and damage, and the back cover is separating from the spine. The volume measures 19 (w) x 25 (l)." It weighs 16 pounds. The rest of the newstock is in good condition. Most pages have little to no wear and tear; however, some of the newspapers are smaller in size than others in the volume. For the most part, the paper has a regular way of presenting the news to its readers. State political news is on the front page. Usually the paper reports recent state assembly and senate meetings, debates, and laws. Depending on if the state legislators are meeting or not, other items included on the front page might be a serial story and a Weinstock’s Lubin ad. The second page contains the United States news and international news. The third page offers local news gossip and tidbits of interest to readers. The final page contains mostly ads. Interesting tidbits contained in the papers in this volume were on such topics of Indian battles, Black and southern relations, Blacks leaving the south for the west, poetry, and Charles de Young's murder - among others. The biggest story in this 1880 volume was the issue of Chinese immigration. The paper aptly names the whole affair “The Chinese Question.”
