Tilden, v. 2" by Samuel J. Tilden is a collection of letters and documents related to the public and political life of Samuel J. Tilden, likely written in the late 19th century. This volume reflects Tilden's engagement with significant political issues of his time, particularly concerning corruption and reform within government structures, as well as the dynamics within the Democratic Party during a critical period leading up to the presidential election. The opening of the work features a series of letters exchanged between Tilden and various contemporaries discussing political strategies, state matters, and personal notes of admiration and support. Key figures like David A. Wells and Charles O'Conor express concerns over corruption in municipal governance, particularly relating to the notorious Tweed Ring, and discuss the urgency for reform. This section highlights the camaraderie and tactical interactions among politicians as they navigate a fraught political landscape, setting the stage for the broader themes of integrity and governance that permeate Tilden's legacy.
