More from George F. Hoar
The irrepressible conflict had to be fought out.
He proceeded to attack, to promote his own ambitions, the fair name and fame of the Commonwealth itself.
What was said helped to arouse public attention, and the masses of the people--always pure and incorruptible--set themselves earnestly and successfully to reform the abuses.
His life, so far as he took part in political affairs, was devoted to objects wholly public, never personal.
