Pinckney and his Record in Illinois Politics
The Freeport Bulletin cites Whiteside Sentinel opposition to Pinckney over the salary issue and his stance on free schools. It recalls Pinckney’s votes against establishing free schools in 1845 and 1847, then against an extra pay bill in 1867, and finally taking pay in 1869, arguing the pattern tarnishes his reformer image and questions his integrity. The piece also notes Mrs. O. O. Wilson's Chicago trip for millinery selections and invites readers to visit her upon return.
