Horace Greeley, American newspaper editor, politician and reformer, (c1880). Greeley (1811-1872) was editor of the New York Tribune, the most influential American newspaper from the 1840s and 1870s. The paper supported the Whig and Republican parties politically, and was editorially opposed to slavery. After the Civil War, Greeley supported the release of imprisoned Confederate President Jefferson Davis, an unpopular stance in the northern states that caused many people to cancel their subscriptions to the Tribune. He supported US Grant in his presidential campaign in 1868, but after becoming disillusioned with corruption in Grant's administration, stood against him as the candidate of the Liberal Republican Party in 1872. Greeley lost heavily and also lost control of the Tribune to Whitelaw Reid, owner of the rival New York Herald. A print from Cassell's History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume III, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880.
