The
Great
Police
Riot!
1857
The Fall-Out…
Grumpy old…
Councilor King…
…the very next day, can barely conceal his delight when dispatching the…
…mighty miniature Major-General…
Charles William Sandford
& his inestimable…
Militia…
…upon the
…ever warring denizens of Manhattan’s infamous Bowery…
But that’ll have to be a whole other story… coming soon…
…Yes! Them!
Well that’s all well & good & all, but what we really wish to know above all, is what on Earth became of the merry Mayor & his munificent Muni pals?
…you mean the discredited, er, gentleman accused of election fraud, selling public office, running ‘voting farms’, inciting riots, all round right rotten egg & his incorrigible cronies ?
Wellllll…
…after three long years in the political wilderness our dishonourable demagogue on a promise to keep the city’s pubs open, runs for office again…
…Look who’s back!
…& finds himself returned in a land-slide!
