Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Addresses on the Life and Character of Francis B. Spinola: A Representative From New York When peace was restored he again became active in the public life of his State. He was several times elected to the State legislature from the city of New York, where he had fixed his residence after his retirement from the army, and in 1886 he was chosen a Representative in Congress and continued to serve as a member of the House to the end of his life. During his long career he was always a vigorous fighter, but neither friend nor foe ever questioned his loyalty. He had many political opponents; he had no personal enemies. With the doctrine of secession he would tolerate neither discussion nor compromise, but he regarded the civil war as ended when the last Confederate soldier had surrendered his arms. As his political opponents were his personal friends in private life, so the men whom he faced on the field of battle he regarded as his fellow-citizens and brothers after the restoration of peace. Firm in his friendships, generous to his opponents, loyal to his party, faithful to the Union, diligent in the discharge of his public duties, his long career in the service of his country is fittingly crowned by the unanimity with which his memory is honored this afternoon by the Representatives of the Nation. Address of Mr. Curtis, of New York. Mr. Speaker: In rising to support the resolutions of my friend from the Tenth district of New York [Mr. Cockran], in which he pays a deserved tribute to his predecessor in this House, Gen. Spinola, I shall confine myself to a general statement of his public services, making particular mention of two or three notable incidents in his career while in the civil service of his State and as an officer in the army battling for the preservation of the Federal Union.
