The Radical Party Rise and Progress in U S Politics
In this Boston era summary George Alfred Townsend surveys the Republican Party from its Puritan roots to the Hayes era. He criticizes the Garfield era afterlife and Arthur’s administration, accusing the party of lacking ideas and being dominated by office seekers and wealthy donors. He contrasts old radical leaders with present leadership and warns of corporate influence and factional drift.
