Nast and Harper's Civil War Over Allegations
A long polemic targets Thomas Nast and Harper’s Weekly blaming them for libelous caricatures of politicians and for failing to rebuke Credit Mobilier corruption. It accuses Nast and the Harper brothers of hypocrisy and of pandering to partisan motives while defending or excusing malfeasance by political allies. The piece also notes legislative votes on a Temperance bill in the Indiana House and Senate, praising the overall reform while predicting legal challenges.
