WaShington May Day 1876 Davenport Gag Order Critique
Special correspondence to The Messenger from Washington describes Democratic members of Mr. Caulfield’s committee seeking to gag Davenport while exposing alleged Tammany Society plots and Tweed’s network. It notes Williams’s testimony, Davenport’s evaluation, and calls for restraint to avoid further damage to the party as Bristow and Hayes shift attacks amid ongoing public interest and legislative battles.
