Note 765 — Chapter XXVII · TILDEN ONE VOTE SHORT 1876

It was claimed that in 1862 Tilden had a net income of $89,000. He made oath to $7,118, and afterward acknowledged receiving $20,000 in the Terre Haute Railroad case. He alleged that this covered the work of several years. Moreover, that his income-producing property was largely in railroad stocks, bonds, and other securities on which the tax was deducted by the companies before the interest and dividends were paid.—Bigelow, Life of Tilden, Vol. 2, p. 232; see also, Nation, September 22, 1876.
