Defense of Fernandes Weed on Wood Back Pay Vote
The piece defends Fernando Wood against Republican charges that he voted for back pay. It notes Wood was absent in Washington when the bill faced action due to a New York family matter. It quotes Wood’s assertion he would have voted against the measure and argues his long service and clean record amid era-wide corruption reflect well on him. It contrasts him with Grant and Conkling and hopes he continues prudent choices.
