Ron Chernow Quote
Greeley campaigned from the back of a train, delivering scores of speeches and previewing the whistle-stop style that later marked presidential campaigns. His campaign stumbled from the start and never found a secure footing. He was kept busy explaining his history of derogatory statements about Democrats. I never said all Democrats were saloon keepers, he protested. What I said was that all saloon keepers were Democrats.
