[Chicago, 1872. Two pages of text on a folded sheet. margin-soiled. Good+. Probably a component of the 1872 Liberal Party, which contested Republican hegemony in a run for the Presidency with Horace Greeley as its candidate. The Republicans have lost their moral authority: "No faction governing a party by a vaste and intricate political machinery, should be permitted to absorb a majority of the popular voice on account of glorious deeds accomplished in the past..." As for the Democratic Party, "its glory has departed." Evidently unrecorded. (Inventory #: 9907)
