Senator Gordon on the Gresley Movement and 1876 platform
Georgia Senator Gordon outlines the Greeley era philosophy, praising Horace Greeley’s role in uniting northern and western voters, and details four 1876 Democratic platform goals: honesty, concord, protection of black rights, and a constitutional republic. He positions a straight Democrat win as feasible and declines a vice presidential run.
