Title
Campaign of 1884. Life of Grover Cleveland. A Record of Incompetency, Demagoguery and Mediocrity
Subject
Cleveland, Grover
Description
Perhaps the most strident and sensational concoction of bellicose braying ever to enter the political fray! This pamphlet is written with such a torrent of invective and abuse, the effect is ultimately comical: “The record will show that Grover Cleveland is a man of less than mediocre ability, a man who has badly filled each post he has been in, a man whose sympathies have always been against the laboring mand and the people, a man of selfish personal aims, and with a greed for money, a man who was a violent Democrat and Copperhead during the war, a man who has masqueraded as an official reformer—and when examined proves to be the worst possible and meanest kind of political fraud. This record will also show that he is a free trader, a cheap-John reformer, a hater of the people, a political Mountebank and Turveydrop; with a shallow veneer of stupid platitudes, and he voted for the Know-Nothings in 1860.”
