Life Long Democrat for Grant
The piece cites Henry M. Rice of Minnesota, a Democratic U.S. Senator 1951 to 1963, stating support for Grant and Wilson. Rice says he acts as a businessman, doubts Greeley’s financial plan, and believes only Grant’s administration has been wise, safe, and successful to justify another term.
