Old Democratic Rally Ends with Barrage of Attacks in Cumberland
An 1882 Cumberland County meeting features Col Green attacking Republicans and Liberal leaders while praising Democrats. Reports describe crowd size, reactions, and claims of Bourbon manipulation, with focus on education funding, tax schemes, and alleged political scheming tied to Canaday and Williams. The account laments alleged corruption and urges vigilance against “Bossed” rule.
