Silas Wright and private virtue in public life
An old reminiscence extols Silas Wright of New York for living within his $4,000 income, denying gifts to furnish his governor’s mansion, and urging politicians to avoid pecuniary favors and personal luxury in public service. Also notes on private letter carriers and a farcical tale of Barnes the well digger and a comic scrutiny of a buried man.
