Tilden Income Returns Draw Criticism From Press
The Chicago Times voices dissatisfaction with Sinnott's explanation of Tilden's income, while The New York Tribune derides it as thin and technical. It notes the 1862 return as a weak basis for avoiding taxation on yearly incomes around 100,000, arguing the motive was to shelter funds from the government. Political allies view the excuse as worsening the case.

Cody and Gen Sheridan Seek Frontiersmen for Sioux Mission
Cody aims to raise a company of 100 frontiersmen to operate in winter against Sioux, with Gen Sheridan as the key contact. He describes a campaign seen as rough and not a grand parade, praising swift strikes and cautioning that success depends on rapid, decisive action against natives. He singles out Gen Carr as the best Indian fighter and notes Sitting Bull’s retreat to the mountains with scattered bands. He adds details on Crook’s hardships, weather, and supply issues, and commends Carr’s logistics under rough plains conditions.
