Reconstruction and party evolution in the 1872 election
A dense political speech reviews Republican principles, Democratic conversion to equal rights, and amnesty, arguing for the party's steadiness. It denounces Horace Greeley and the Baltimore platform, defends tariff reform, and contrasts Lincoln era aims with postwar reconciliation and unity. The piece ends by praising Grant’s four-year peace and economic progress.
