Minor wear at blank upper edge Very Good plus.<br /> <br /> "The Republican party of 1860 was the exponent of the grandest ideas and the most ennobling sentiments but to what abysmal depths has it fallen in these times. It now stands for nothing more than a corrupting combination between plutocrats and politicians to plunder the people." <br /> Three former Republicans express their dismay at their Party's moral collapse in the Gilded Age and their indignation at Republican mistreatment of Union Civil War veterans. They announce their plans to vote for Grover Cleveland the Democratic candidate in the upcoming presidential election. They are confident "that the interests of the old soldiers are safe with the Democratic party and Grover Cleveland who has always been sincere who has always kept his promises." <br /> The three are William Green District Attorney of Fulton County NY; Harrison Clark "once Dep't Comd'r of N.Y. G.A.R. and George B. Loud Past Jun. Vice Dep't Comd'r of Florida G.A.R." They express their disappointment and anger in these printed letters dated in early October 1892 to Theodore F. Reed Secretary of the National Veterans' Tariff Reform League.<br /> Not located on OCLC as of September 2024 or the online sites of AAS NYPL or NYHS. unknown

1880197421880. Caption title as issued. 8pp with light wear and old folds. 'No. 86.' printed at top of first page. Good. A Republican campaign pamphlet arguing that the triumph of the 'Solid South' would impoverish the country. Southerners have "the conceit of political sagacity. It is their boast that this country will never be properly governed until Southern statesmanship shall again bear sway." But when the numbers are crunched the South has lagged behind the North in every index of economic prosperity. The Solid South's share of the "commercial industrial financial and educational interests of the country" is disproportionately small. Its pretensions to "dictate the course of the National Government" is absurd. OCLC locates 12 under two accession numbers. unknown
