April 09, 2007: Samuel Tilden: The Real 19th President, by Nikki Oldaker In 1876, one hundred years after our founding fathers so assiduously designed our free democracy, this same democracy was hijacked. An unscrupulous group of ?dead of night? conspirators collaborated to steal the Presidency. Nothing less than a coup, and utterly audacious in its concept and delivery, this crime against the people?s right to choose tars our nation?s history. Author Nikki Oldaker presents this story with powerful simplicity, her choice of present tense providing an urgency that is shocking. We are drawn into the story from the night before the election. We come to know and respect Samuel Tilden- his sense of morality and honor, and his determination to ?clean up? the fraud and corruption of the Federal Government. As the tale unfolds, we, as voters in this democracy, are stunned and betrayed right along with Tilden and his many supporters. Although Tilden received a 254,000 majority of the votes, over Rutherford Hayes, it was Hayes who was inaugurated the 19th President of the United States, and came to be called by many, ?Your Fraudulency.? It is the dramatic unfolding of the events of this outrage that make up this compelling story, deftly handled by Nikki Oldaker. While this travesty occurred over one hundred years ago, it is clear to the reader that parallels can be drawn to the concerns and charges of voting fraud that were raised against both the 2000 and the 2004 Presidential elections. There are echoes of this dark tale in today?s extreme political bipartisanship. It may be Ms. Oldaker's intent to bring the reader?s focus to this repetition of history, while she shows us that alert vigilance is ever mandatory in a democratic society. Samuel Tilden, in his speech following his concession of the presidency, stated, ?Successful wrong never appears so triumphant as on the very eve of its fall... We must believe in the right and in the future. A great and noble nation will not sever its political from its moral life.? Let us hope he was right.
