Grant era platform reels in old political flame
A Chicago Courier critique cites the 1872 Republican platform as a solemn joke with boasts of campaigns and Pacific railways, berating subsidies, land grants, and "revenue" claims while recalling unemployment, civil unrest, and the dubious national currency. Bennington violence disrupts a Tilden meeting amid partisan tension. An Arkansas judge proposes liquor licensing by public notice, a novel campaign necktie trend surfaces, and Spanish verbena is praised as a winter cordial. Krupp guns trend across Europe and Cuba.
