Broadbrie's New-York Letter on Reform and Scandals in 1885
The writer surveys New York politics and society, railing at Tammany Hall and the County Democracy amid mayoral reform, court power, and graft fears. It recalls Captain Phelan and O Donovan Rossa, condemns corruption, and notes social and religious shifts in Brooklyn and the city, with cultural gossip and sensational side stories.
