"Probably in no other campaign since the War times, when the students from the North and South fought to settle the question as to whether the 'Stars and Stripes' should float from Old North Hall, has there been so much excitement over politics. It is the theme for conversation everywhere."

--Chicago Daily Tribune, October 25, 1884, on the climate on Princeton's campus during the U.S. presidential election contest between Grover Cleveland and James Blaine

"The contempt of that large-minded gentleman is so wilting, his haughty disdain, his grandiloquent swell, his majestic, supereminent, turkey-gobbler strut has been so crushing to myself and all the members of the House...The resemblance is great. It is striking. Hyperion to a satyr, Thersites to Hercules, mud to marble, dunghill to diamond, a singed cat to a Bengal tiger, a whining puppy to a roaring lion."

-- James G. Blaine, eviscerating fellow Congressman Roscoe Conkling, during a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives, April 30, 1866.

The feud between Blaine and Conkling -- who each had close connections with various post-Civil War Republican Presidents -- is one of the great political rivalries of American history. Blaine's eloquent (and vicious) attack of Conkling and mention of Conkling's "turkey-gobbler strut" would result in classic caricatures of Conkling in political cartoons that would annoy him for the rest of his life:

Letter from George Jones to James G. Blaine Recommending Frederick Douglass as United States Minister to Haiti

Record Group 59: General Records of the Department of StateSeries: Applications and Recommendations for Public Office

Indianapolis, July 2nd, 1889

Hon James G. Blaine

Sec'y of State Wash D.C

My Dear Sir:

You [al, struck through] will allow me on the part of my people to congratulate you most heartily for commissioning Hon Frederick Douglass Minister to Hayti. He is the Lion of our race and represents in its [most, struck through] fullest sense the honor and dignity of our people

In this connection I might add that the appointment of Lynch and Townsend of Indiana and other recognition recently had is more than ample testimony of the fairness of the administration toward the colored people of the entire country.

Gratefully Yours
