More from De Alexander
As he lived, so he died, a strange, lonely, unhappy man, out of tune with the beautiful world in which he was permitted to exist upward of four score years.
The heart of the country is fixed on higher and nobler things.
He represented Republican principles and aims more fully than any man in the country, but Thurlow Weed, looking into the future through the eyes of a practical politician, disbelieved in Republican success.
He used to get angry with men simply because they voted against him on questions in which he took an interest.
