Do you know what Tilden's economic positions were? He was a member of the laissez-faire wing of the Democratic Party, the Bourbon Democrats, which sadly died out in the early 1900s when Bryan's populists took over. Wikipedia mentions Tilden "worked closely with the New York City business community" as governor. He cut taxes, supported free trade, and sound money. Probably someone you'd call an "enemy" of the workers.

Damn it, ah well, like I had a choice for anything back then.

     That cuts it; I'm a Tilden voter now.

Then I am a Hayes voter now.

Hayes was also pro-business. He was a strong supporter of sound money and protectionism (big business was against free trade back then). Economic populism wasn't really represented by any major party until the Populist Party was founded in 1884.

In that case, I abstain.
