Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Independents of Massachusetts in 1884 The opposition to General Grant in 1872, though inspired by motives similar to those which actuated the Independents of 1884, yet resulted in such a pitiable failure at the polls as to make the campaign of that year memorable only as a warning and discouragement to all who would join a similar movement in the future. But the election of 1884 was a triumph for the Independents. The country feels the effect of the protest made against a nomination deemed to be improper. A positive gain cannot but result. A strong belief that a proposed candidate is unfit, when held by a large minority of the party, will deter the party leaders from nominating him. An issue never before raised has been settled, and the country is in advance of any former position. One thing has been established, - that party allegiance does not supersede the duty of private judgment. This achievement is due to the earnest and effective work of those who believed that Mr. Blaine´s election would be an injury to the country. Much was done in Massachusetts, and the following pages will give a brief outline of the growth, the management, and the result of the Independent movement in the State. Formal Action Taken The record of the Massachusetts Independent movement runs as follows: - On the afternoon of Saturday, June 7, the day after Blaine´s nomination, the Massachusetts Reform Club meets in Boston, at Parker´s. The president, Mr. John S. Farlow, of Newton, is in the chair. About forty members are present, and Messrs. Joseph O. Burdett, Arthur Lincoln, and John Ritchie are there as guests. At this meeting the following letter is read from Mr. Charles Francis Adams, Jr.: - Adams Building, 23 Court Street, Boston, June 7, 1884 My dear Sir, - I received your notice of the Reform Club dinner this afternoon, and in view of the nominations of yesterday, which are to be the subject of your discussions to-day, I regret extremely my inability to be present I presume there is no question as to the attitude of the members of the Reform Club toward the Republican nominations. We will at once organize to defeat them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
