SENATOR GORDON.
HiB Views on the Philosophy
of the Greeley Movement,
Senator Gordon, of Georgia, has been
Interviewed by a reporter of tlio Atlanta
Herald, in the course of which ho ex
pressed himself in regard to the follow
ing among other topics:
THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE GREELEY
MOVEMENT.
Now, just at this point, Mr. Greeley,
Carl Schurz, Gratz Brown and Governor
Curtin, representing this disorganized and
scattered army, proposed a platform at
Cincinnati, on which it was thought all
the elements of opposition to the corrupt
administration might be united. The
movement failed just then; not because
the liberal and conservatives did not do
their part, but because there was not suf
ficient time allowed to bring the demo
cratic party to believe that the movement
was a sincere and honest effort for recon
ciliation and restoration.
The elections of last fall were the le
gitimate and the necessary results of that
coalition. Something like the Greeley
movement was absolutely necessary.
The Northern people had becomo incrus-
tated with a granite formation of passion,
prejudice and hate, beneath which their
mellower and better feelings were im
prisoned. It seemed impossible to break
through this horrid casement that had
coffined the kindly Northern and West
ern heart. No plea could penetrate it;
no outrage coulu shiver it; no argument
could phase it. It was a solid, unfeeling
mass, against which all impulses felt im
potent. But Horace Greeley, with oue
stroke of the pen, as with a wand, shat
tered this miserable shell, and threw the
words of truth and right and justice, like
sunbeams, in upon the soul and the brain
and the heart of the people. To use his
own expression, “a chasm yawned be
tween the people of this Republic that
must ‘be closed or filled.’ ” Like anoth
er Curtius, with as heroic a heart and as
high a purpose, I am sure, as moved the
ancient Roman, he flung himself as a sac
rifice into the abyss. He gave his pen,
tyis speech and his life to the cause of re
construction. And he did not give them
ip vain. Through his sacrifice the chasm
Was dosed, and the people stand over his
grave united and victorious.
I opposed the Greeley movement at
first, but I am not one of those who insist
now that it was a mistake. I think that
IT WAS THE WISEST POLITICAL MOVE
MENT
in our political history. It was the
carrying out of the policy shadowed in

Lincoln’s memorable words—“We have
conquered them by arms; let us win
them by magnanimity.” I heard Sena
tor Bayard, who, you will remember,
opposed the coalition bitterly and de
nounced it on the floor of the Balti
more Convention, say in the executive
session of tho Senate, just a few days
ago,, that after seeing its fruits he esti
mated the Greeley movement as a wise,
polite and patriotic movement. It
gavo the South tho ear of the North and
West. This was all wo wanted. We
did not need arguments, we only lack
ed an audience.
the platform fob 1876.
Reporter.—Do you think that we
should make the next national cam
paign on the Cincinnati platform?
General Gordon—I think that we
should hazard nothing on account of
prejudice or partisan opinion, for I be
lieve that the perpetuation of our free
institutions depends on the issue of the
next national campaign. On its result
hangs, in my opinion, the safety of the
Republic, which should be more esti
mable than any mere party triumph
could be. There are four leading ideas
that should enter into the Democratic
platform for 1876. These four cardinal
principles should be put in our plat
form to insure success, and then ad
hered to by our party to ensure peace.
The first point is, that we shall have
economy, purity and fidelity in the ad
ministration of the government. All
these elements may be included under
the one head of honesty. Ii there is
anything that the people of this coun
try—the whole people, without dis
tinction of party—deBire,
IT IS AN HONEST PARTY
a party that will oppose fraud corrup
tion; that will throttle rings and
cliques; that will denounce and dethrone
even its own leaders when thev be
come corrupt; that will command the
confidence ot home taxpayers and re
trieve our reputation abroad. The
first and lending principle, then, in the
platform should be a promise made—
not idly, but earnestly, and as a guar
antee—that we will reform the abuses
of tho present party and fairly and
honesty run the government and dis
pose of its revenues.
peace between the sections.
The second point that should be incor
porated into the platform should be “a
restoration of concord.” We must have
an equilibrum restored between the sec
tions. We must learn all men to love
the national flag, to guard the national
prosperity. We can solve no question
satisfactorily while wo are divided.
While sectional prejudice and passion
rule men it is of no use to address them
with arguments on public policy or pub
lic polity; it is of no use to talk to them
of injustice or dishonesty; you cannot
penetrate their prejudices; they are
, swept along by passion almost in spite of
I themselves. But let them drop and for
get all these questions—let them come to
gether a9 brothers and stand face to face,
and looking each other fairly in the eyes,
seek for the true and the good and the
wise, and you will see what, in view of
our miserable hide-bound past, may be
esteemed ns a political millennium. There
must be unity—a oneness of feeling and
of purpose—an assertion that the people
of this Republic seeking a common end,
dolendiug a common right, building up a
common country, shall move onward in
harmony and peace.
GIVE THE NEGRO HIS RIGHTS.
The third point in tho platform
should be, I think, a definite and un
mistakable pledge, that we, the people of
the South, will protect the negro in all
his rights of freedom and franchise.
Strange as it may seem to us, who year
after year have seen the white employ
er and his negro employee voting
against_each other in peace and kind
ness, it is believed by a great many peo
ple in tho North that the fiist step
with which we would mark the Demo
cratic rcascendency would be to de
prive the negro not only of his right to
vote, but his fieedom also; that at any
rate we would reduce him to a condi
tion of quasi slavery. They are ex
ceedingly jealous', and naturally so,
about the perpetuation of whg,t they
call “tho result of the war.” They^are
afraid to trust the Democratic party
with power again on the sole account
that they fear reactionary legislation.
Let us convince them that we accept as
final the abolition of slavery and the
franchise of the negro, and will defend
them as such, and we will have done
very much toward removing the only
obstacle that stands between the Demo
cratic party and an overwhelming na
tional triumph.
LET US RETURN TO THE CONSTITUTION.
The fourth point of cardinal import
ance that I should put in the platform
is, a return to the constitutional meth
ods of government, both in the State
and in the nation. While we must
yield to the general government all the
rights it has, or all that the Supreme
Court by decisions will give to it, we
should insist upon the right of the
States to Aianago for themselves their
oivn internal affairs. Wit’,out this
right were fully protected and its main
tenance guaranteed I wouldn’t give a
cent for any victory. There is an
alarming tendency just now to consoli
date this government, to gather tho
power at Washington, to lessen more
the liberties of tne States and make
them dependencies upon the great cen
tral power. This must be checked,
and that, too, promply and decisively,
or the Ropublic is lost. I have a letter
from Mr. William M. Evarts, of New
York, one our purest and wisest men,
in which he says:—“ I do not think
there are 100 men in this country who
realize how near we are to a complete
change in the form of our government.”
We are drifting toward a despotism
with a rapidity and directness that can
not fail h - . alarm the people when it is
made plai < ■ to them. On this platform,
then, with its four cardinal points of
honesty, concord, the protection of all
citizens in all their legal rights and a
constitutional Republic, I think we
should “ enter tho campaign.”
A STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT CAN BE ELECTED.
Reporter—Do you think that a
straight Democrat can bo elected on
this platform ?
General Gordon—I certainly do.
believe that any man having confidence
of the people, standing upon this plat
form and pledged to its support, would
carry at least two-thirds of the loyal
voters of this country. I believe that
two-thirds of the people of America
are opposed openly and squarely to the
administration. There is hardly a
point in this platform to which the
Radical party is not opposed. It is
opposed to honesty in the government,
as witness its shameless support of the
carpet-bag rascals and its defended
record of crime and incompetency. It
is opposed to reconciliation, because it
lives on passion and prejudice; and . e-
cause an inquiry into its policy, con
ducted quietly and peacefully, would
overwhelm it. It is opposed to consti
tutional liberty; its avowed purpose
and its ultimate object being to central
ize all power and rob the States of their
rights. Any good man in the North or
West can be easily elected on this plat
form. The Republicans are hopelessly
divided. Ido not think I exaggerate
the importance of this division when I
say that fully half of the present Re-
pulican party are to-day ready to fol
low Schurz, Fenton, Bryant, Evarts,
Ferry, or whosoever is irrevocably op
posed to a third term and to the ad
ministration wing of the party, which
is controlled by Butler, Morton, Conk-
ling, Logan and Edmunds.
THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Reporter—You have said nothing on
the financial question in your remarks.
Do you think that issue should be ig
nored?
General Gordon—I do. I do not
think we should let any collateral issue
interfere with the success of the four
essential principles I have laid down
above. I should favor treating the
finacial question at our National Con
vention just as the tariff issue was treat
ed at Cincinnati. Let it be left to the
Congress to settle it. It need not be
made a Presidential issue at all.
WILL NOT RUN FOB THE VICE PRESI
DENCY.
Reporter—General Gordon, I have
seen your name mentioned daily al-
tion with the Vice Presidency. Will
you allow the use of your name in that
connection ?
General Gordon—I will not, under
any set of circumstances. Even if I
were nominated I should withdraw my
name. My reasons for this statement,
to-day made public for tho first time,
are that I believe a Southern man on
the ticket would weaken it. And as
much os personal ambition might tempt
me to yield to the partial suggestions of
my friends,I would not for all the honors
in the gift of the American people feel
I had been the means of driving one
man from the support of that ticket on
whose success depend sthe future pros
perity of my country. I diave but one
object—that is the re-establishment of.
harmony,.of good will and ot good gov
ernment. To th<s end all things also
shall be secondary.
