Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of Whitelaw Reid, Vol. 2: Politics Diplomacy Through the rest of its course he was one of its most generous supporters. After bitter discouragement in his fight for party reorganization he had won, through the cipher despatches, his hour of exultation. That success in his effort to close up the lines only spurred him to stiffer campaigning, in the hope of drawing them closer, and a marked trait in his personal history at this time is the eager swiftness with which he sought to ward off every possible setback. A typical instance dates from the spring of 1879, when Hayes was not altogether reassuring about that egregious army bill through which the Democrats, pretending to block military interference with the suffrage - a peril quite imperceptible, if not impossible - were really seeking to obstruct the operation of federal election laws. "I felt annoyed," Reid wrote to Evarts, "at the reports we had here that the Secretary of the Interior [Schurz] was giving the Democrats some reason to doubt the certainty of the President´s veto. If we can´t show a united front on the purity of the ballot box, nothing but a stroke of paralysis or of lightning could relieve us from Mr. Tilden as our next President." Evarts and the administration could always be sure of one thing, and that was that there would be no ambiguity about the words of warning received from their editorial counsellor in New York. He was bluntness itself in his communications with the secretary of state. In this case he had ultimately no complaint to make. Although it took about a month more for Hayes to get to the sticking-point, when he got there his gift for writing a veto was shown in full force.
