A kaleidoscope of 19th century views on public sentiment, corruption charges, and political missteps surfaces. The piece condemns Fusionists in Maine for vote buying, questions a Nevada senator’s salary theft, and lampoons Dennis Kearney’s calls to exclude Chinese workers. It also praises Atlantic Monthly and Harper’s Monthly for shaping young women and general readers with quality literature.
