Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Col. Lewis V. Bogy, the Democratic Nominee for Congress, in the First District Pursuant to notice, previously given by publication, a large number of the citizens of this city and county assembled in the Rotunda of the Court House to hear from Col. Bogy, the Democratic nominee for Congress from this District, his views upon such political and sectional matters as interest our citizens. On motion of Christian Kribben, Esq., the meeting was organized by Trusten Polk, Esq., being called to the Chair. The Chairman, upon taking his seat, stated that the object for which the meeting had assembled was to hear the views of Col. Bogy, the Democratic nominee for Congress. To fully organize the meeting, on motion, Wm. Palm was appointed Vice President, and Daniel H. Donovan, Secretary. Col. Bogy was then called to the stand, and addressed the meeting in substance as follows: Gentlemen of the City and County of St. Louis: I have often spoken from this stand before, but this, I think, is the first time that I have appeared to speak in behalf of myself. I have heretofore spoken to promote the views of some friend, or the success of the principles which I entertain. I come now before you, gentlemen, to speak of myself - to announce to you the fact, already known to you, no doubt, that I am a candidate for Congress from this District - to announce the reasons and causes which made me a candidate, and the reasons why I shall claim the support of the Democracy of this District. Gentlemen, I say without any affectation, that in presenting myself to you for a position of this kind, I do it with the greatest diffidence imaginable. No one is better satisfied than myself that I have no experience in public affairs, that I do not possess that knowledge which is necessary, and that I have not those shining talents that are calculated to distinguish the man who may occupy a position in the Congress of the United States. Hence, in appearing before you, asking for a position so lofty, I do it with great diffidence. A seat in the Congress of the United States is an honorable position.
