Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings at the Sixth Annual Dinner of the Republican Club of the City of New York: Held at Delmonico´s on the Eighty-Third Anniversary of the Birthday of Abraham Lincoln; February Twelfth, 1892 1. Abraham Lincoln - The War President, Statesman, Patriot; the great and good man. "That good gray head which all men knew, That voice from which their omens all men drew, That iron nerve to true occasions true, That tower of strength Which stood four square to every wind that blew." - Tennyson. 2. The Plain People - The incorruptible majority who stood for Freedom and National unity by the side of Abraham Lincoln when the Republic was in danger from Rebellion, and who will now stand by the country when it is menaced by more insidious dangers in new inventions to corrupt the ballot, to steal majorities and defeat the popular will. "The people never give up their liberties but under some delusion." - Burke. 3. The Ballot - One for every freeman, to be cast without fear and counted without fraud. "The weapon that comes down as still As snowflakes fall upon the sod, But executes the freeman´s will, As lightning does the will of God." - John Pierpont. 4. The Republican Party - Its record is the brightest chapter in the Nation´s history - its present duty is the maintenance of the national credit, reputation and prosperity - its future work is to establish protection, reciprocity, a sound currency, a free ballot and a reputable national administration. "Constant as the Northern Star, Of whose true fixed and vesting quality There is no fellow in the firmament." - Shakespeare. 5. The State of New York - 6. The Great and Growing West - Republican principles defended by your Eastern ancestors on the plains of Kansas, in the days when "Rolled the Oregon And heard no sound save his own dashings" made you free and enabled you to become great and prosperous. May you keep the faith and continue to grow until the oceans that wash the shores of North America become the boundaries of a Republic in which man is fearless as well as free, and no political crime goes unpunished.
