Book excerpt: Excerpt from Secrets of the Great Whiskey Ring: Containing a Complete Exposure of the Illicit Whiskey Frauds Culminating in 1875, and the Connections of Grant, Babcock, Douglass, Chester H. Krum, and Other Administration Officers, Established by Positive and Unequivocal Documentary Proofs Nearly five years have elapsed since my conviction as a member of the Great Whiskey Ring of 1875, or, more properly, of the Ring the exposure of which occurred daring that year. Five years is but a short while to those whose current of life flows with the melody of prosperity and contentment but to him whose memory is seared by the basest ingratitude man ever showed to man; whose sacrifices for those in power above him have ruined a life, in the debris of which his eyes, can never unbend their fixed gaze at his own bitter humility, it is ages. In this introduction to my thorough exposure of the whiskey frauds culminating in 1875, it is my desire to qualify a most unenviable position; one which I have no disposition ta shrink from, however false appearing those sleuth hounds, fresh from a gluttonous feast of public blood; those abusers, of trust who cry "thief" loudest in order to deflect the gaze of justice from their own villanies, seek to make it. I do not approach the bar of public opinion at this day, laying bare the hideous deformities of recreant high-place officials, for the purpose of vindicating myself. Far from it. Denying nor affirming nothing as to my own guilt, the law has spent its force upon me; I have paid the penalty, and further claims against me no man has; I am, therefore, entitled to a considerate hearing in what I have to say.

Download or read book John McDonald and the Whiskey Ring written by Edward S. Cooper and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-10-28 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most flamboyant, consistently dishonest racketeer was Supervisor of Internal Revenue John McDonald, whose organization defrauded the federal government of millions of dollars. When President Grant was asked why he appointed McDonald supervisor of internal revenue he responded, “I was aware that he was not an educated man, but he was a man that had seen a great deal of the world and of people, and I would not call him ignorant exactly, he was illiterate.” McDonald organized and ran the Whiskey Ring but he always credited Grant with the initiation of the Ring declaring that the president “actually stood god-father at its christening.” The demise of the Ring rivals anything that the real or fictional Elliot Ness and his “Untouchables” ever accomplished during the prohibition era in America.

Book Synopsis Political Conspiracies in America by : Donald T. Critchlow
Download or read book Political Conspiracies in America written by Donald T. Critchlow and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2008-03-19 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conspiracy theories have been a part of the American experience since colonial times. There is a rich literature on conspiracies involving, among others, Masons, Catholics, Mormons, Jews, financiers, Communists, and internationalists. Although many conspiracy theories appear irrational, an exaggerated fear of a conspiracy sometimes proves to be well founded. This anthology provides students with documents relating to some of the more important and interesting conspiracy theories in American history and politics, some based on reality, many chiefly on paranoia. It provides a fascinating look at a persistent and at times troubling aspect of democratic society.
