The piece rails at Barnum backed Morey forgery allegations, blaming a rotten Democratic machine for forgery and perjury. It attacks Tammany leaders and defends reform, linking cipher dispatches and vote fraud to the party’s downfall while urging slow, careful reapportionment and evaluating political futures.
