MANTON MARBLE. Signature: "Manton Marble/New York Feb 20
1884", 4¼x2 slip. Manton Marble (1834-1917) was a journalist in
Boston and New York who became editor of the New York World from 1860 until its
sale in 1876. Supported by wealthy Democrats like August Belmont and Samuel
Tilden, the World supported the Party's programs and candidates. Manton's
paper supported the Union war effort but opposed emancipation, and endorsed
Lincoln's opponent, George McClellan, in the Presidential election of 1864.
Marble lobbied the administration of President Cleveland (1885-1889, 1893-1897)
to abandon the gold standard in favor of bimetallism, a policy rebuffed by
Cleveland but embraced by the next Democratic nominee, William Jennings Bryan.
By that time, however, Marble head moved to England and was no longer
influential in American politics. Lightly soiled. Minor nicks along right edge.
Otherwise, fine condition.
