A critique targets Horace as inconsistent for denouncing former allies after joining the ranks of the political opposition. The piece argues his actions echo those he condemned during Andrew Johnson, Doolittle, and Schurz shifts. It asserts his greater fault lies in not resisting temptations and in chasing the White House vision rather than principle.
From every quarter of the land come words of encouragement. The Liberal movement is losing strength as its designs become known. The grand old party of freedom never showed a bolder or more united front than it does today. The traitors who crippled its action in the past have been driven from the camp. The bummers and stragglers who retarded its progress have gone over to the enemy. Organize every available force and canvass thoroughly. The victory of the Republican party must be a triumph greater than any yet achieved.
