Government by Blackmail in Sulzer and Tammany Hall
The Sulzer scandal exposes Tammany Hall as a machine using blackmail to control officials.

It calls for ending Tammany influence and rejects sympathy for Sulzer's misconduct. It also notes a separate Alabama Senate appointment dispute and the potential need for a special session.
