Interesting that when the shoe was on the other foot, the Democrats didn't just complain, but they cheated back, to the point of possibly being arrested and trundled off to a military fort.

Samuel Tilden's house in Lebanon Springs, NY got turned into a Japanese Restaurant a 100 years after his loss.

I think it's closed now, but was a great place to stop when on NY Route 22.

Interesting facts about this guy. A Van Buren protégé. If some of the Van Buren Boys had his back, things could have gotten heated. Maybe Payne knew the “sign.”

Tilden was born into a wealthy family in New Lebanon, New York. Attracted to politics at a young age, he became a protégé of Martin Van Buren, the eighth President of the United States.

Waterbury Democrat? The newspaper in Waterbury, CT is the Republican-American. Good paper... Better that the Hardly Current (Hartford Courant) 😀
