MALADMINISTRATION, NEPOTISM, AND CORRUPTION EXPOSED. SPEECH OF HON. LYMAN TRUMBULL, UNITED STATES SENATOR, AT CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1872.
[Chicago? 1872]. 8pp. Caption title [as issued], printed in double columns. Disbound, else Very Good.
Trumbull condemns the corruption of the Grant administration. "The patronage of the government has come to be regarded as so much capital, to be used by favorites and sycophants, chiefly Senators and Representatives, who hang around the presidential mansion and the ante-rooms of Cabinet offices, begging for offices for friends and favorites."
Despite remarkable achievements of the Republican Party-- for which Trumbull certainly deserves part of the credit-- Grant ought not to be re-elected; he supports the breakaway Liberal Republicans.
