Letters From Tilden And Hendricks On Reform And Resumption
The documents present Tilden’s call for currency reform and civil service overhauls, urging restraint on legal tender issues and a staged resumption to specie payments. It argues for reduced government expenses, independent oversight, and broader public accountability to restore financial stability and trust. Hendricks accepts the Democratic ticket, endorsing platform reforms and denouncing wartime mismanagement. He stresses restoring local self-government, prudent finance, and a competent, nonpartisan civil service to revive national confidence.
