On 5 August 1864, Horace Greeley's New York Tribune printed a denunciation of Abraham Lincoln for having vetoed the Wade -Davis B ill. The manifesto condemned the president for usurping Congress's legislative powers by attempting to reconstruct the South by executive orders. Radical Republicans also circulated anonymous calls that Lincoln be replaced with another nominee for president. The manifesto's strident language offended most moderate Republicans and produced a backlash that enhanced Lincoln's image while discrediting Radical Republican leaders.
