Teddy Roosevelt: “A person who has been reinstated in the classified service in a grade lower than that from which he had been separated…”

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.

I am absorbed in the success of that movement.

Don’t you pity me. I am all right.

Like all other good citizens, I accept the result with entire good humor and contentment.
