More from George F. Hoar
He proceeded to attack, to promote his own ambitions, the fair name and fame of the Commonwealth itself.
However any political antagonist might dislike him, every antagonist must respect him, and nobody could laugh at him.
He has fallen at the very gate of an honorable and eminent career, and a thousand hopes are buried in his grave.
To yield to him was never the way to win his good will.
