Records claim Grant era graft and fraud across administration
A sweeping indictment details alleged defalcations by Republican office-holders exceeding 5.5 million, whisky ring robberies near 100 million, and widespread corruption from cabinet members to Indian and tax policies. It accuses Grant of political misuse, civil service failure, and unlawful military interference, ending with claims that 70,000 Black depositors lost 3 million in Freedmen’s Savings Bank theft.

Government spending gaps sharpen campaigns in party battles
Records show Republican leaders set current year expenses at 173,590,822 with a 25,425,698 rise over last year to aid campaign aims. The Democratic House proposed 109,244,140 but the final appropriations reached 120,611,871, saving 29,944,252 from last year and 55,380,650 from the asked total. In New York, state taxes under a Republican administration fell from 15,727,482 in 1874 to 8,268,196 in 1876, attributed largely to Gov. Tilden’s economy and reforms.
