Zitat des Tages von Roscoe Conkling:
The election before us will be the Austerlitz of American politics.
He will hew to the line of right, let the chips fly where they may.
Show me a better man. Name one and I am answered; but do not point, as a disqualification, to the very facts which make this man fit beyond all others.
Without bureaus, committees, officials or emissaries to manufacture sentiment in his favor, without intrigue or effort on his part, Grant is the candidate whose supporters have never threatened to bolt.
