Tilden and Hendricks on the Election and Political Turmoil
A long column mixes campaign notes and editorials about Samuel J. Tilden for president and Thomas A. Hendricks for vice president with commentary on Grant’s whiskey prosecutions and cabinet reshuffles. It references Speaker Kerr, Morrill, Buckner, Buckner’s district, and details from Washington and Cincinnati conventions, plus army actions at Fort Lincoln. The piece comments on party loyalties, pardons, troop calls, and public notices in a dense, era-typical political broadside.
