"Politics of Alabama" by Joseph C. Manning is an exposé of the crooked dealings in Alabama's government during a troubled election season in the late 1800s. It digs into the nasty fight between Captain R. F. Kolb and Thomas G. Jones for governor in 1892, pointing fingers at the Democratic Party for playing dirty. Manning's words paint a picture of vote-rigging, faked ballot counts, and bullies in charge, all working to keep a real election from happening. He sends out a call for things to be set right, urging the everyday citizen to stand up against the rot and demand their say in a fair system, speaking with a fire meant to stir people into action against political cheating.
