From "The Negro in South Carolina During the Reconstruction" by Alrutheus Ambush Taylor.

"The election of Thomas C. Dunn as comptroller of the State, according to  S.J. Keith, was fraudulently accomplished.  Keith, who was elected to the legislature in 1870, voted for the election of T.C. Dunn as comptroller general and received the sum of $100.

"The money, according to Keith, was paid by R.B. Elliott, who also distributed similar sums to others who likewise refused  the offers of J.L. Neagle, an aspirant for the office.  Dunn, Keith declared, was hostile to Cardoza  who was at the time in disfavor with certain members of the Republican party.
