New York Life Maintains Lobby and Conflicts at Albany
Testimony before the insurance investigating committee revealed that Andrew A. Hamilton of Albany received about 235 000 dollars from the New York Life Insurance Company with no clear accounting beyond statements to President McCall. Hamilton attended legislative sessions in Albany for the company and was paid for expenses, with accounts not audited. McCall claimed the money would be paid on demand and denied using funds to influence legislators. He noted Hamilton earned roughly 100 000 dollars yearly for legal services and that campaign contributions supported the gold standard and opposition to the silver platform, rather than the GOP.
