The fate of the leader for the time being is of little consequence, but the cause itself must in the end triumph, for its triumph is essential to the well-being of the American people.

The American people by a great plurality have conferred upon you the highest honor in their gift.

I don’t know anything about who the man was who shot me to-night.
