Campaign of 1884. Life of Grover Cleveland. A Record of Incompetency, Demagoguery and Mediocrity

Cleveland, Grover

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.”
