Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letter of General Benj; F. Butler, to Hon. E. R. Hoar: Gives His Official and Political Biography, With a Reply to the Judges Imputations Upon the General Lowell, October, 1876. Judge Ebenezer Rockwood Hoar: - Dear Sir, - I have read with attention and careful consideration the remarks reported to have been made by you at a meeting of persons who assembled at Young´s Hotel to defeat the nomination of the Republican convention of the Seventh District, in order to re-elect the Democratic incumbent, and also your letter accepting its nomination with that intention; and take leave to reply to some of your suggestions. That such was the purpose of the meeting, I rely upon your own reported words: "If by using my name the result shall be that Gen. Butler shall be defeated, and if, knowing the sentiments of the people of the district, it is the opinion of gentlemen that it can be done, I should see no objection to it." If there had been any purpose or hope expressed in that meeting of the election of even as uncertain and unreliable a Republican as Judge Hoar shew himself to be by his election of Mr. Tarbox to the present Congress, I should have felt it my duty in this crisis of public affairs, - of peril so imminent to good government and the peace of the country, - at least to have endeavored to do something, to make any concession, by which the honest, patriotic Republicans of this district could have found representation, and a Republican majority been secured in the House of Representatives. But, quoting your words again, you say: "If you, gentlemen, consider that the best thing to do, and that you can carry on the fight, of which there is some reasonable prospect of success," then you are willing to allow your name to be used. This is conclusive that the movement is a mere personal "fight" upon me, and not in aid of the Republican party. Therefore I must accept the gage as it is thrown down, and meet a personal "fight" personally. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
