The Great Nepotist and Grant Family Court Register
A lengthy critique from New Harmony's The Register characterizes President Grant's administration as a family-controlled regime. It lists numerous relatives employed in offices and claims fees totaling tens of thousands annually, contrasting with impeachment-era expectations and urging public scrutiny. The article also cites editorials from other papers and an anecdote about a prior political saying.

The piece recalls Preaus's long service and criticizes party leadership for sidelining him after decades of campaigning for Auditor Clerk and Representative, urging readers to consider the political maneuvering behind the nomination.
