It is interesting in reading the newspapers reacting to the nomination of Horatio Seymour and Frank Blair as the Democratic nominees to see the slogans employed. "Grant Will You Take Drink" was one. A lot of references to the restoration of white rule. This comes from a conservative newspaper in Memphis reporting on a rally in Kentucky.
