Talk:Samuel Tilden 1876 presidential campaign

"Hard-money" vs. "Soft-money"
In the "Democratic nomination fight" section, a reference is made to Hendricks' "support of soft-money" contrasted with "Tilden's hard-money stance." These two terms mean quite different things today than they did in 1876. "Soft money" in politics refers to non-federal campaign contributions. I presume that in this context, the distinction is instead to fiat currency (soft) vs. representative money (hard). I don't want to edit in those links myself, since I don't know for sure, but I think would be helpful to other readers to have links in place. Kelseymh (talk) 20:58, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Unreliable source?
I have tagged the linked article from "Buttons and Ballots" because I have suspicions that this source is not reliable enough to adequately support the rampant speculation that is included. I will check back and consider removing the material unless evidence to the contrary is provided. 72.201.104.140 (talk) 22:12, 8 October 2017 (UTC)
