Tilden’s strength in New York debated by Greeley letter
The piece cites John Kelly and Horace Greeley attacking Samuel J. Tilden as a corrupt organizer and ballot-stuffer for Tilden’s 1868 bid. It details alleged frauds, 1840 and 1868 ward results, and calls Tilden a confederate of Boss Tweed, arguing his reform image is a sham while laws later curb such abuses.
