Public opinion on Colfax and the Forty-Second Congress
The editorial argues Colfax may have erred but is not a knave and urges patience as truth surfaces. It contrasts public scorn for Colfax with tolerance for Tweed and Field, and critiques the era’s corruption while defending efforts to seek justice amid political attacks. The piece closes reflecting on accountability and forthcoming history.
