Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Senator Chauncey M. Depew at the Nineteenth Annual Dinner: Given by the Montauk Club of Brooklyn in Celebration of His Birthday on April 23, 1910 Mr. President and Gentlemen: No language can express fittingly my pleasure at the renewal of your greeting. For nearly two decades you have gathered annually in honor of my birthday. Members of all political parties, and all religious faiths, men in the professions, in business, in journalism, in literature, in the multifarious activities and antagonisms of American life, lay their differences aside for this festive night, as they have done during all these years. This holding in abeyance and suspension the antagonisms which divide men upon many lines is only ordinarily possible at a funeral. Even in that case, some go as far as did the late Judge Hoar who detested Wendell Phillips, and when requested by the family to be a pallbearer sent back word declining, but with the remark, "I approve of the proceedings." It is a refutation of the universal charge against us that we are so absorbed in materialism that we have lost all faculty for the healthy enjoyment of association and that attrition of minds without rancor which promotes truth and longevity, for tonight, whatever we were yesterday or will be tomorrow, is devoted whole-heartedly and unselfishly to comradeship and good-fellowship.
