Democrats attack the Grant Administration for Caesarism, corruption, fiscal irresponsibility, vindictive animosity towards the South, and an unseemly solicitude for the Negro. "The Civil Rights Bill was passed as a measure of spite and ill-will toward the people of the South," says George Pendleton, who had run on the Democratic ticket with George McClellan in the 1864 presidential campaign. General Ewing, later a leader of the Greenback party, describes in illuminating fashion the financial dislocations wrought by the Panic of 1873.
