Old Hannah Assess the Clerks in Violation of Civil Service Law
Washington June 20 1900 The case alleges a sweeping attempt to compel Congress clerks and employees to pay over half of an extra month's salary to a Republican campaign fund. Reports say amounts ranged from five to a full month, with voluntary hints but public expectation of mandatory contributions. The civil service law bans such solicitations, and the matter escalates as officials allegedly funnel funds to party committees. The piece also covers Cuban tariff revisions tied to Porter and the War Department, noting conflicts of interest and partisan text book production under Mr. Austin, plus a Porto Rico duty ruling considered by lawyers as inconsequential to the broader election impact.
