Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Four Days at the National Republican Convention: St. Louis, June, 1896, and Other Political Occasions
We are accustomed to pay superlative tribute to the great soldiers of our country. Washington and Greene and Schuyler and Gates, of the Revolution ary period, and General Scott and General Jackson and Commodores Decatur and Perry, of the war of 1812, and Grant and Sherman and Sheridan, are all embalmed in the richest rhetoric of our history, the most stirring pages of the schoolbooks and the most glowing periods of our eloquence. In lesser measure we glorify the statesmen of the Republic.
