Democratic claims and bungstarter chase in 1876 campaign
A dense montage of 1876 campaign perspectives argues that the Democratic ticket led by Hancock lacks credibility while Garfield offers stability. It cites editorials from Albany Journal and New York papers, notes Republican achievements, and condemns Democratic lies about General Garfield and Justice Swayne.

Suppressing the Late Democratic Rebellion Costs
A legislative summary notes total U S expenditures from July 1861 to June 10 1879 amounting to 6 844 567 1 4531 for war and 2654 641 522 for non war costs leaving 36 149 929 908 funded from debt. Per capita debt fell from 78 25 in 1865 to 40 42, with interest per person dropping from 4 29 in 1866 to 1 69 in 1879. The report contrasts wartime debt with postwar reductions and cites a Washington Dispatch on Hancock and Reconstruction debates and state versus national authority. The era’s political punditry condemns Hancock’s positions and stresses the Union’s national sovereignty.

Deliberate Falsifier in Dem Lies About Justice Swayne
A historical critique denounces the New York World for falsely claiming Justice Swayne branded General Garfield with a sale of official influence. It notes Swayne never used such language, nor was the matter before him or the Supreme Court. Justice Swayne and ex Senator Doolittle debunk the claim and demand apology.
