Tilden Democracy Sparks Chicago Political Clash
The Chicago Eagle denounces the Tilden Democracy as a front for anti Harrison forces and accuses Hopkins led faction of aiming to destroy the Harrison Burke machine. It recalls Tilden’s 1876 bid, his wealth, cowardice claims, and calls the movement a sham by parvenu trumpeters of reform. Col John S Cooper battles pneumonia as a longtime Democratic leader.
