HORACE GREELEY, "THE CHAPPAQUA SAGE. " WHAT HE KNOWS ABOUT PARTISAN POLITICS- GLANCES AT HIS POLITICAL RECORD.
[np. 1872]. 8pp. Disbound [loosened] with caption title, as issued. Good+.
An anti-Greeley presidential campaign pamphlet. Running as a Liberal Republican in 1872 against Grant Administration corruption and incompetence, Greeley unfortunately had a detailed public record demonstrating a mercurial inconsistency on public issues.
As this pamphlet says, "Sudden changes of opinion always excite distrust, unless they are accompanied by causes so adequate and apparent that the metamorphosis is at once explained." This item shows that Greeley's shifts flunk the test.
Not in Sabin, Miles, Eberstadt, Decker. Not uncommon in institutional holdings, according to OCLC. Item #40016
